Keep 90% of every sale

BidPins brings local customers through your door with live auctions — $0 upfront, $0 monthly, and a flat 10% commission on winning bids. No subscription, no lock-in.

The math on a $100 item

On BidPins

$90

Members bid up to an $80–$100 cap · we take 10% of the winning bid · you keep the rest

On a coupon site

$25

Discounted to $50 · the site takes ~50% of that · you keep what's left

Coupon-site figures reflect typical industry terms (50% cut on a 50%-off voucher). Your actual BidPins payout depends on the final winning bid.
