The Product Auction app for Shopify is now come up with the option to restart unsuccessful auctions.
Here, unsuccessful auctions refer to the finished/ended auctions for which either no bidding is placed or no winner is declared.
Thus, you can set the configuration to restart auction if the auction is ended on the products with no-bid placed or no winner declared.
PLEASE NOTE:- The auction will not get restarted if the bidding has been stopped manually.
How to Configure?

Now, go to the Auction Configuration.
There, you will get the feature “Restart Unsuccessful Auction”.

Enabling this option will let you choose one from the two options:-
1. Restart Auction if no bid is placed.
2. Restart Auction if no winner is declared.
- Restart Auction if no bid is placed:– You can select this option to restart a closed auction if no bid is placed for that auction product.
If selected, enter the no of time you want to restart auction on products.
