# 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](/auctions/collection-bidding.md).
* **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](/products-and-checkout/removing-auctions-from-storefront.md) 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](/customers-and-bidders/payment-reminders.md).
* **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](/auctions/payment-deadlines.md).
* **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](/auctions/payment-deadlines.md#automatically-banning-repeat-offenders).

> **Note:** Automations require a paid plan. Automatic banning requires the Grow plan or above.
