BidBoard | Pay to Rank Leaderboard Next.js Script
BidBoard | Pay to Rank Leaderboard Next.js Script. Put a board online, let people pay for a position on it, and keep every cent. Listings are ranked by the amount paid, highest first. Pay more than the listing above you and you move above it. There is no algorithm, no ad network, no revenue share and no accounts. Rank is the bid, nothing else.
It ships as a complete, working product: the public board, Stripe checkout, payment confirmed listing creation, owner self service and a full admin panel. Install it, connect Stripe, and you are selling positions the same afternoon.
Why buyers pick it
- Payment safe by construction. A rank is granted only by a signature verified Stripe webhook. The handler is idempotent, so a retried or replayed notification can never charge twice or duplicate a listing.
- Nobody has to sign up. Bidders manage their listing through a secret link. You get in with one username and password. There is no user table to secure and no password resets to support.
- Tune it live. Minimum bid, increment, currency, page size, takeover rules and rate limits are all editable from the admin panel at runtime. No redeploy, no file editing.
- Runs on one machine with no database server. SQLite by default. Switch to PostgreSQL or MySQL by changing one line when you outgrow it.
- Optional everything. Beyond Stripe, no third party account is required. Email is off until you turn it on. Analytics are built in.
The bidding engine
- Listings ranked strictly by amount paid, highest first.
- Equal bids keep the order they were claimed in, so matching a bid never displaces the listing it matched.
- Bidders do not have to beat number one. Any bid at or above the minimum earns a position, which keeps a board with an expensive leader still sellable.
- Re bidding is a top up. Raise an existing listing and you are charged only the difference between what it already holds and the amount you move it to.
- Board takeovers: buy the top of the board outright for a fixed window at the current top bid plus a percentage you set, shown as a full width banner with a live countdown. Expires on its own, with no cron job to configure.
- Website URLs and social handles are accepted. Chat and invite links are rejected at submission.
