Buyer's premiums, seller commissions, doc fees, taxes — configured once, calculated automatically on every lot, every auction. No manual math, no checkout errors, no missed revenue.
Auction fee structures are complex. A 10% buyer's premium on hammer prices under $10,000, 8% over that. A 6% seller's commission with exceptions for consignors on certain terms. Doc fees on vehicle lots, but not estate lots. Plus local sales tax in some jurisdictions.
Calculating all of that manually at checkout is slow, error-prone, and a terrible experience for buyers waiting to pick up their purchases. Selling Lane's Fee Engine handles all of it automatically — configured once based on your fee structure, applied correctly to every lot without any checkout math.
When a buyer's invoice generates at auction close, every applicable fee has already been calculated and applied. The buyer sees a transparent, itemized total. You see a correct breakdown per lot for consignor accounting. No calculators, no corrections, no awkward checkout conversations.
Set your fee rules once — tiered buyer premiums, seller commissions, doc fees. They apply automatically to every lot without any manual calculation.
Configure different premium percentages based on hammer price ranges. The system applies the correct tier to each lot automatically.
Charge different fees for different inventory types — vehicles, estate goods, and equipment can each have their own fee schedule.
Buyers see an itemized invoice showing hammer price, buyer premium, doc fees, and totals clearly. No surprises, no disputes.
The fee engine automatically calculates seller proceeds per consignor after commissions — making payout reporting fast and accurate.
Manual fee calculation leads to errors — usually in the buyer's favor. Automated calculation means every applicable fee is captured, every time.
Set buyer premium percentages (flat or tiered), seller commission rates, doc fees by category, and any applicable tax rules.
