Built-In Payment Integrations That Work for You

We’ve partnered with leading global payment gateways so you can give your buyers the ecommerce experience they expect:

Core Card Payment Integrations

  • Stripe
  • WorldPay
  • Opayo (formerly SagePay)
  • PayPal

Invoices issued through BidHarvest® include instant online payment links, and can be settled using any major card, from Visa to Amex, within seconds, all with secure 3DS checks in place (for participating card holders/banks).

Where bidders have stored cards, they can even opt into AutoPay where invoices are automatically paid the moment they’re issued.

Open Banking with Stripe

Our Stripe Open Banking integration lets buyers pay directly from their bank account, securely, instantly, and without entering any card details.

Faster than manual bank transfers, fully auditable and far more secure than copy-pasting account numbers.

Marketplace Escrow & Multi-Vendor Sales with Stripe Connect

For clients running marketplace or consignment-based auctions, our Stripe Connect integration enables:

  • Split payouts to auctioneers, vendors, or consignors
  • Escrow-style flows where funds are held until item collection or clearance
  • Full payout audit trails and financial transparency

Perfect for multi-vendor sales, salvage auctions, or peer-to-peer platforms where transactional trust matters.

Stripe Identity: Built-In KYC / AML Protection

Security and compliance are central to every payment you take. That’s why we’ve integrated Stripe Identity, enabling auctioneers to:

  • Verify buyer ID with photo uploads and government-issued documents
  • Run AML / KYC checks (including PEP and sanctions screening)
  • Flag and reject fraudulent card use
  • Add an extra layer of security for high-value or high-risk transactions

This allows you to accept payments confidently and meet the increasing regulatory expectations around online bidding and money movement.

Payments Linked Directly to Invoices

Every invoice issued by BidHarvest® is:

  • Automatically formatted and itemised (including VAT and surcharges)
  • Sent by email with instant payment links
  • Visible in the My Account area, where bidders can pay using cards, stored details, or bank transfer

No manual uploads. No chasing paperwork. Just fast, auditable settlement that works for both you and your buyers.

Why This Matters for Your Auction House

Pain Point | BidHarvest® Solution
Late payments | AutoPay + real-time payment links mean faster settlement
Manual payment matching | Integrated ledger updates in real time as payments clear
Compliance risk | Stripe Identity handles AML, PEP, and fraud checks
Complex payouts | Stripe Connect supports multi-vendor and escrow auctions
Invoicing confusion | One system, one invoice, multiple secure ways to pay

💡 Use Case: How It Works in Practice

  1. Auction ends
  2. Invoices can be checked, edited, and once generated are emailed immediately
  3. Buyer opens invoice → taps “Pay Now” → uses card or bank
  4. Payment clears → BidHarvest® updates the ledger and triggers release paperwork
  5. Admins view payment status instantly — no calls, no spreadsheets

In many cases, you’ll see payments arriving within minutes of the invoice being released.
