Auctionhall
Timed and live auctions with sub-second bidding on a realtime mobile stack
Auctionhall is the AppLiaison answer when bidding has to feel live. It runs both timed-extension auctions (the eBay shape) and floor-driven live auctions (the auction-house-with-a-gavel shape), with sub-second bid latency, anti-snipe extensions, and a paddle / proxy-bid system that handles the realities of live floor operation. It is built on the Realtime Mobile Stack because phone-first bidding is how the audience actually buys.
Key features
- Timed auctions with anti-snipe extension on last-minute bids
- Live auctions with floor operator console and remote bidder paddle
- Sub-second bid propagation across all connected paddles via WebSocket
- Proxy bidding with maximum-bid privacy (no leak of true ceiling)
- Reserve prices with fail-to-meet handling and re-list flow
- KYC + Stripe Identity gate before paddle issue, deposit hold-on-card
- Native iOS + Android paddle apps (Expo) with push notifications
- Reporting on hammer prices, sell-through, audience engagement, paddle activity
Architecture
Built on the Realtime Mobile Stack.
What you get
Auctionhall ships as a paired iOS + Android paddle app and a web operator console under your brand. Bidders register, complete KYC, and download the app from the customer’s branded App Store / Play Store listing. Operators run timed catalog sales and live floor sales from the console, both feeding the same paddle audience.
Sample customer story (placeholder — illustrative only)
A regional charity auction nonprofit licensed Auctionhall to run their hybrid in-person + remote-bidder annual gala. Average paddle activity per attendee tripled from the prior year’s web-only platform, hammer-to-clear time dropped from 6 weeks of post-event reconciliation to 4 days, and the nonprofit’s COO reported that “the app working” was no longer the topic of every meeting in the four weeks before the event.
What’s NOT included
- Sealed-bid procurement auctions. Auctionhall is for ascending public auctions. Sealed-bid B2B procurement is a different shape.
- Algorithmic ranking of lots. Lots are ordered by the operator. ML-driven bidder-personalized ordering is a paid Pass-2 customization.
- Crypto / NFT bidding. Settlement runs through Stripe to bank accounts; crypto is not a current path.
- High-volume retail-shaped commerce. Use Bazaar (multi-vendor) or Storeline (single).
