Migrate your SellingLane CRM data
Auction-specific CRM with a flat monthly rate and no per-transaction fees, built for auction houses managing buyer lifecycles from registration through checkout.
In its favor
Why people choose SellingLane CRM
The signal that keeps SellingLane CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Flat-rate pricing model with no per-transaction, per-lot, or per-seat charges appeals to auction houses scaling their sales volume without billing surprises.
The integrated buyer-management workflow handles registration, verification, and checkout within a single system rather than stitching together separate tools.
Custom fields on auction listings allow auction houses to capture lot-specific attributes beyond standard item descriptions.
Built-in buyer verification and trust-account tracking are purpose-fit for auction industry compliance requirements not available in general-purpose CRMs.
No setup fees or surprise charges for CRM hosting, streaming, or website features are included in the monthly price.
The platform is narrowly scoped to auction workflows, so teams that expand into broader sales, marketing, or service use cases outgrow the feature set.
Limited third-party integrations compared to mainstream CRMs forces teams to maintain workarounds for accounting, email, or analytics tools they already use.
Small user base and minimal public API documentation make it difficult for technical teams to extend functionality or build custom integrations.
Sparse online reviews and a lack of a robust app marketplace signal limited community support and third-party tooling compared to established CRM vendors.
Auction-specific terminology and data model require significant re-training when staff transition to a general-purpose CRM.

What gets migrated
SellingLane CRM object support
Object-by-object support for SellingLane CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Buyers (Contacts)
Fully supportedBuyer records transfer as standard Contacts with bidder ID, registration date, and verification status preserved as custom properties. Bidder tier/standing maps to a custom picklist field on the destination CRM.
Lots (Items)
Mapping requiredLots carry lot number, item description, reserve price, and starting bid. We map Lot number to the destination item name and preserve reserve/starting bid as numeric fields, but reserve-status logic (met/not met) requires custom mapping per destination.
Bids
Mapping requiredBid records are linked to Buyer and Lot. We extract bid amount, timestamp, and bid type (floor, absentee, online) and reconstruct the bid stack in the destination CRM, but bid-ordering must be validated against the auction event timeline.
Auction Events
Mapping requiredAuction events group lots and bids by sale date and location. The destination CRM may not have an Events object, so we map them as custom records or parent records for lots with a date-field anchor.
Registrations
Fully supportedRegistration records include buyer ID, event ID, registration date, and payment method on file. These transfer as standard objects with all fields preserved.
Payments/Checkout
Mapping requiredPost-sale payment records include amount, method, date, and buyer association. Where the destination uses an Invoice or Payment object, we map accordingly and flag any trust-account balance carry-forward.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredSellingLane supports custom fields on auction listings. We capture all custom field definitions and values during the audit phase and generate a field-mapping manifest for the destination CRM.
Attachments
Mapping requiredItem photos, condition reports, and registration documents attach to Lots and Buyers. We export attachments via the platform's file storage and re-associate them in the destination system using naming conventions derived from lot/buyer IDs.
Pipelines (Stages)
Mapping requiredSellingLane uses auction-specific workflow stages (e.g., Registered, Won, Lost, Paid, Closed). We map these to standard CRM deal stages and flag any stage that has custom automation triggers in SellingLane for manual rebuild in the destination.
Owners/Users
Mapping requiredAuction staff assigned as lot owners or bidder managers map to Users in the destination CRM. We validate user email uniqueness and flag duplicates before import.
Tags/Labels
Mapping requiredLots and buyers may carry classification tags. We export tag sets and apply them as Labels in the destination, noting that tag-based automations do not transfer and must be rebuilt.
