See every featureAuction Now lets you sell selected products through timed auctions on your Online Store. Create auctions in Shopify Admin, link them to your products, and show live bidding on your storefront with a theme app extension. Shoppers place bids while logged into their customer account. When an auction ends, the winning customer receives a checkout link at the winning bid amount through Shopify Checkout.
Bidsify adds auctions to the products you choose. Bidders sign in with their store customer account, bid from the product page and follow everything on a My bids page in your theme. Timed auctions support increments, reserve prices, Buy Now, auto-bid and soft close. Sealed bids stay hidden until close.
