The auction block on the storefront features a real-time updating countdown timer. For upcoming auctions, it displays the time remaining until the auction starts. For running auctions, it shows the remaining time until the auction ends—ensuring bidders stay informed at every stage.

How it works

Step 1: Displayed on the Storefront

The auction block on the product detail page includes a built-in, real-time countdown timer.

Step 2: Before the Auction Starts

For auctions that are scheduled to begin in the future:

• The timer displays a countdown showing the time until the auction starts.
• This creates anticipation and helps visitors plan their participation.

Step 3: During the Auction

Once the auction goes live:

• The timer switches to show the time remaining until the auction ends.
• The countdown updates live on the storefront without needing to refresh the page.

Step 4: Keeps Bidders Informed

This ensures that all potential bidders:

• Know exactly how much time they have left to place a bid.
• Can monitor auction status in real-time, boosting urgency and engagement.

🎯 Whether an auction is upcoming or already running, the real-time countdown ensures visibility and transparency at every stage.
