Why Choose Daystar for Auction Payment Processing
Auction revenue is uneven by nature. A quiet month can be followed by a single sale day with dozens of high-ticket winning bids, and that kind of spike is what triggers holds at many processors. Daystar works as a high risk merchant account provider for auction businesses, disclosing your sale calendar, average lot values, and peak volumes to the bank upfront.
We support live auction houses, online and timed auction platforms, estate and liquidation auctions, vehicle and equipment auctions, and art, jewelry, and collectibles sales. With 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents, we can place you with a bank that fits your ticket size, whether you run consignment sales or buy and resell inventory.
There are no long-term contracts. Most applications get a decision within 24 hours, most approved merchants are live within 3 business days, and we have a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants. Call our Miami team at +1 (786) 453-7357 to talk through your auction business, or apply online and a specialist will review your details.

Credit Card Processing
Accept credit and debit cards for winning bids, buyer premiums, deposits to register as a bidder, and shipping or handling fees. We set processing limits around your largest expected lots, so a high-value painting, vehicle, or jewelry piece does not look like unusual activity when it settles after the gavel falls.
Payment Gateways
Auction Payment Gateways
Connect a payment gateway to your online bidding platform or checkout so winners pay immediately after the auction closes. Card-on-file tools let you pre-authorize registered bidders, charge winning buyers automatically, and tie each payment to its lot number and invoice for clean records and faster dispute responses.
Mobile Payment Apps

Mobile Payment Apps
Take payments on the sale floor, at estate sales, or at pickup with a mobile card reader. Mobile acceptance keeps checkout lines moving on busy sale days, lets staff collect balances when buyers collect items, and records every transaction in the same reporting as your online auction payments.
ACH and E-Checks
Auction
ACH & E-Checks
High-value lots such as vehicles, equipment, and fine art often exceed what buyers want to put on a card. ACH and eCheck payments let buyers pay large invoices by bank transfer at lower processing cost, and they reduce the chargeback exposure that comes with big card transactions.
Subscription Billing
Auction
Subscription Billing
If you run a membership-based bidder club, charge monthly platform fees to sellers, or offer installment plans on large purchases, recurring billing automates those charges. Scheduled payments, automatic retries, and card updates keep ongoing revenue steady between sale events. You can also bill consignors for listing or marketing fees on a set schedule.
Sell Internationally
Auction
International Sales
Online auctions draw bidders from around the world. Multi-currency processing lets international buyers pay in their own currency, and Daystar offers domestic and offshore processing options through acquiring banks on 4 continents for auction platforms with a global buyer base. Buyers abroad can settle winning lots without awkward currency conversions on their end.
