Auction Workflows

Run local auctions without managing bids in a spreadsheet.

WebFormafy auction forms help sellers, clubs, schools, fundraisers, and small teams publish branded auctions with live bidding, watchlists, seller rules, payment records, and post-win follow-up in the same workspace as forms and orders.

Live selling workflows

Everything a local auction needs before, during, and after bidding.

Auction forms are designed as a seller workflow, not just a bid button.

Real-time bidding

SignalR-powered bid updates keep buyers, sellers, and auction pages in sync while bidding is active.

Auto-extend timers

Late bids can extend the clock on eligible plans so sellers avoid last-second bid sniping.

Watchlists

Buyers can follow items and return to auctions they care about.

Agreements

Buyer and seller agreements help set clear expectations before serious bidding begins.

Payments and trust

Move from winning bid to follow-up with less manual cleanup.

Auction workflows can support Stripe Connect payment coordination, manual-capture payment state, seller payout readiness checks, and buyer authorization when the relevant provider settings are enabled. WebFormafy keeps the auction record, payment state, and fulfillment details connected.

Stripe Connect seller onboarding where enabled
Escrow-style payment state tracking for auction records
Buyer authorization and seller agreement checkpoints
Notifications for bids, wins, payment events, and fulfillment updates

Best-fit auction use cases

Good for local selling, fundraiser teams, clubs, and niche inventory.

WebFormafy is a practical auction workflow for teams that need live bidding and follow-up, without buying a full event fundraising suite.

Local sellers

Sell limited inventory, collectibles, services, or special items with bids, Buy Now, payment state, and fulfillment notes in one place.

Community groups

Run school, club, church, or local fundraising auctions with watchlists, agreements, and bid history.

Small teams

Manage auction creation, content review, notifications, and fulfillment alongside regular forms and order pages.

Seller controls

Set reserves on eligible plans, Buy Now pricing, item images, auction windows, private access, shipping rules, and status controls from an interface designed for repeated selling.

  • Reserve and Buy Now options
  • Public and private auction states
  • Auction analytics and bid history

Post-win fulfillment

After a winning bid, sellers can coordinate payment state, shipping, tracking, and buyer communication without moving the auction into a spreadsheet.

  • Shipping provider setup for sellers where enabled
  • Order-style records for won auctions
  • Audit-friendly event history

Give your next auction follow-up, not just bids.

Launch live bidding alongside your forms, orders, payment records, teams, and analytics.
