Global Auction Settings
These settings apply store-wide and are found under Settings > Auctions.
General
Enable bidding on collection pages — Allow customers to bid from collection pages without navigating to individual product pages. See Collection Bidding.
Reveal bidders' full names — When enabled, bidder full names are visible on auction pages.
Auction Countdown Templates — Select which pages automatically display an auction countdown: Home Page, Collection Pages, and/or Search Page.
Note: Home Page countdowns are only available for themes that support the feature. If you enable Home Page countdowns but they do not appear, please contact support for assistance.
Collection Countdown Style — Choose how the countdown displays on collection pages:
Default — "Ends in 2 days"
Three Column — Days, hours, and minutes in separate columns.
Note: Collection bidding is available on the Grow plan and above.
Automations
Disable auctions on unsold products — Automatically removes the auction display from products that end without a winner. The product page reverts to a standard "Add to Cart" experience. See Removing Auctions for manual removal options.
Send payment reminders — Toggle automatic payment reminder emails for unpaid wins. When enabled, choose the delay (6, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours). See Orders & Checkout.
Enable payment deadlines — Require payment for winning bids within the specified timeframe. Overdue items can be canceled automatically or marked for manual review. See Payment Deadlines and Unpaid Wins.
Automatically cancel overdue wins — Automatically cancel winning bids that haven't been paid by their deadline. A canceled win is recorded as a non-payment strike against the customer.
Automatically ban bidders with multiple unpaid wins — Ban a customer from bidding after a set number of strikes for unpaid wins. See Payment Deadlines and Unpaid Wins.
Note: Automations require a paid plan. Automatic banning requires the Grow plan or above.
Product Template
Select the Shopify product page template to use for auction items.
