F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Auction App
How quickly can I set up auctions on my Shopify store?
You can launch your first auction in under 5 minutes! Our app integrates seamlessly with your existing Shopify products. Just install the app, select a product, configure your auction settings, and you're ready to go.
Do I need coding skills to use this auction app?
Absolutely not! Our app is designed for Shopify merchants of all technical levels. The setup is completely no-code, with an intuitive interface that guides you through each step of creating and managing auctions.
Can I run auctions alongside regular product listings?
Yes! You can easily convert any product into an auction while keeping its standard purchase option. Our smart system lets you toggle between auction mode and regular sales for maximum flexibility.
Can a user choose a product variant after winning an auction?
Yes! After winning an auction, the user will have the option to select their preferred variant of the product—such as size, color, or style—before proceeding to payment. This ensures the user can purchase the exact version of the product they want.
Why is my product not showing up when creating an auction?
If your product is not visible in the list while creating an auction, it may be because it is not available on the Online Store sales channel, the inventory is less than or equal to 1, or the product status is not set to active. Make sure all these conditions are met. If the product still doesn’t appear, try searching for it by its title—this often helps you locate and select the product to create the auction.
What happens when an auction ends?
When the timer expires, the highest bidder is automatically declared the winner. As the admin, you can view all winning bid details in the auction section of your dashboard. On the product page, the winner will see a 'Proceed to Checkout' button to complete their purchase, while other participants will see the winner's name displayed (without contact information) to maintain transparency. All visitors will be able to see that the auction has concluded, creating a fair and open bidding environment while protecting bidder privacy throughout the process.
How do you prevent last-minute bid sniping?
Our 'Popcorn Bidding' feature automatically extends the auction by 2 minutes when a bid is placed in the final moments. This gives all participants a fair chance to respond and creates a more exciting bidding experience.
Can I set a minimum price for my auctions?
Yes! Our Reserve Price feature (available in Pro plans) lets you set a secret minimum price. If bids don't reach this amount, you're not obligated to sell the item, protecting your profit margins on valuable products.
Can I control where the auction block appears on my storefront?
Yes! You can control the position of the auction block on your storefront by updating the class selector in the app’s settings section. This allows you to position the auction block according to your theme’s structure and ensure it appears exactly where you want it. Additionally, you can specify multiple class selectors to hide specific elements on the product detail page for products with an auction.
Can I customize the design of the auction block to match my store's theme?
Yes! the design of the auction block can be fully customized to match your store's branding and layout. You can adjust the styling using custom colours to ensure it blends seamlessly with your theme's look and feel.
