Drouot
Export your catalogue in the Drouot format, import the bidders registered on drouot.com and the results of your sale, and link each lot to its Drouot bidding page.
What the Drouot integration does
Drouot is the Paris auction marketplace; on drouot.com, auction houses publish their catalogues and take live and absentee bids online. Selloff connects to the Drouot API with the credentials provided by Drouot and covers the whole cycle of a sale published there.
Before the sale
- Catalogue export. From the catalogue, choose Export › Drouot file. Selloff produces an XLSX file with lot references, numbers, catalogue order, descriptions, starting prices and estimates, ready to upload to Drouot.
- Lot links. Once Drouot has published the lots, click Sync with Drouot on the sale. Selloff fetches the drouot.com link of every lot and stores it as the lot's bidding link, which your website can display.
- Registrations. Import the bidders registered on Drouot for your sale. Each one is matched to an existing client or created as a new contact, and receives a bidder number.
After the sale
Import the Drouot results: every lot adjudicated to a Drouot bidder is recorded as a sale at the hammer price, for the right bidder. The lots are then ready for automatic invoicing, and the Drouot bidders appear in your bidder tracking like everyone else.

Frequently asked questions
Which lot data goes into the Drouot export file?
The XLSX export contains, for each lot, your lot reference, the lot number and its letter suffix, the catalogue order, a description built from the title, description and first additional text, the starting price and the low and high estimates.
How do bidders registered on Drouot get a bidder number in Selloff?
Import the Drouot registrations for the sale. Each registered bidder is matched to an existing client (by Drouot ID, then by email address) or created as a new contact, and receives a number from the Drouot bidder type. You can also choose to keep the number assigned by Drouot.
