PAYMENT AUTOMATION

Every winner pays — automatically

Require a saved card before a bidder can place any bids, eliminating unpaid winners. Set a scheduled auto-charge time after auction close, or trigger it manually — with bidder consent already captured at the time of bidding.

No more manual tax calculation after every auction

Set a default tax rate at the event level — override per item where needed. Receipts with FMV, tax, and deductible amounts are generated automatically.
