AuctionAI connections

Open Connections to see which companion-app capabilities are available for your store. Installing another app does not enable every feature automatically: check its connection status, required permissions and the controls for the auction you want to run.

Wishlist audiences and invites

With Kernvel ListIQ, you can configure wishlist early access on the Create Auction form. Review the eligible audience, early-access window and optional invite before creating the auction. ListIQ controls its audience and consent rules; an install link alone does not mean an invite was sent.

Optional wishlister discount windows apply before bidding starts or after an unsold result, according to the selected mode. A discount is not valid while bidding is open. Review the percentage, duration and required discount permission. The auction detail page shows available attribution and discount status; it is not a guarantee of higher bids or revenue.

The product widget can show other live auctions when enabled. A connected ListIQ can supply more relevant suggestions. If relevant data is unavailable, do not assume the list is personalized to every visitor.

Inventory liquidation

Kernvel StockIQ can send eligible liquidation requests to AuctionAI. The resulting auction appears with its source information. AuctionAI creation and plan checks still apply; inspect the operation result instead of repeatedly submitting the same lot after an uncertain response.

This connection does not guarantee a sale or a higher recovery price than a clearance offer. Your ordinary AuctionAI auctions remain separate from StockIQ's inventory tools.

Member access

With Kernvel GateIQ, the Create Auction form can offer public, member-early-access or members-only modes. Select the required membership tier and timing, and review the storefront message. Membership eligibility is checked when bidding; a protected auction should not be treated as public merely because a companion app is unavailable.

Where offered, winner enrollment requests go to GateIQ; paid or approval-based membership can require another step. Confirm the actual membership outcome.

GateIQ also supports the optional reusable authorization for one-tap bidding on eligible Pro/Enterprise auctions. Store setup and per-auction opt-in are required. Read the auto-pay guide before enabling it.

Return-risk checks

The Create Auction form can request a serial-returner check through Kernvel ReturnsIQ for lots meeting the chosen high-value threshold. The outcome depends on the configured connection, available customer identity and returned risk signal. This is not a guarantee that every risky bidder will be identified or rejected.

ReturnsIQ's connection capability is shown on Connections. AuctionAI also exposes an auction-engagement signal for connected consumers. Do not infer that companion apps share only anonymous counts: individual integrations can exchange customer identifiers and other information needed for the selected operation.

Support and availability

Connections can show additional capability or coming-soon states, including supported assistance features. Follow the status shown for your actual store. If a protected flow cannot confirm eligibility, inspect the error and contact support; do not bypass its requirements to proceed.

For configuration details, see the user guide. Developers can use the API reference for the separately scoped public API. Contact Kernvel support with the feature, auction ID and error message; never send secret keys.
