Create a new auction

Steps to manage

 1. Open the app > click Auctions > click Create a new auction button

2. Enter the auction information:

  • name: only the admin can see the auction name in the app 
  • start bid: the initial price at which the bidding begins
  • bid increment: the minimum amount by which a new bid must exceed the previous bid. For example, if the current bid is $100 and the bid increment is $10, the next bid must be at least $110. 

3. Set up the start time and end time of the auction

Note:

  • If the start time has not come, the auction is pending 
  • If the start time comes, the auction is running 

4. Select products for the auction. The auction widget will show up on product page and collection page.

5. Set up Advanced settings (optional)

6. Click Save 

The auction widget will show up on the product page you selected. 

Note: To make sure the app works on the site, please make sure the app embed is activated on the theme here
