AuctionWorx Documentation and Developer Guide

This AuctionWorx documentation guide points to the Systenics tutorials, guides and product pages, so you know what to read first.

Video tutorials

Systenics’ AuctionWorx video library covers configuring the Enterprise and Events editions, managing listings, and optimizing your platform. Examples include copying lots within events, bulk relisting on Events, and the make-an-offer feature.

Choosing and understanding the platform

Customization and upgrades

Hosting and technical how-tos

Platform documentation

RainWorx Software makes AuctionWorx and sells the licences, so its own documentation is the reference for core platform behavior. We don’t summarize it here.

When to hire a developer

Read the guides first. Bring in a developer when:

  • You need custom bidding models such as Dutch auctions, make-an-offer, or sealed bids.
  • You’re connecting AuctionWorx to a CRM, payment gateway, escrow service, or ERP.
  • You’re planning a major version upgrade and don’t know what your customizations touch.
  • You’re moving off shared hosting as your audience grows.

The Systenics development and customization page is the place to start, or see the customization service.
