Multiple Winner Feature
Introducing the feature of multiple winners in the Product Auction app.
The store owner can enable this feature to declare more than one winner for the auctioned product.
From the Auction configuration, the admin will have to enable this feature.
Once you enable this feature, there will be two options to choose in order to set multiple winners for any particular auction.
They are :
*Winners equivalent to the number of products
Or
*Enter any Custom Value for a number of winners.
Winners equivalent to the number of products
In this option, the number of winners will be equal to the quantity of that auctioned product
Enter any Custom Value for the number of winners.
The admin can enter a custom value here to set the number of winners for the auction.
The value entered here should be less than or equal to the quantity of the product under auction.
If it exceeds product quantity then the default number of the winner will be equal to the quantity of product under auction.
Note: In both cases, the winners will declare only if the bid of the winners are either equal to or more than the reserve price of the product auctioned.
AUTO-PAY
We’ve introduced an Auto-pay feature for Shopify Plus merchants using the Shopify payment gateway.
To use this feature, merchants need to go to the Auction app and navigate to Configuration >> Auction Config >> Enable “Selling Plan-Based Auto Payment.
After setting up, the merchant must specify the minimum amount a bidder needs to pay to authorize auto-pay upon winning.
Please ensure this amount is equal to or greater than Shopify’s minimum payment requirement of $0.50 USD. Consequently, it will meet the necessary criteria.
When entering the amount to charge the bidder at the time of placing a bid,
make sure it meets or exceeds Shopify’s minimum payment amount restriction.
Note: Merchants also need to update their permissions to use this feature. For assistance with permission updates, please contact us.
Once the setup is complete, merchants can create auction products. During this process, they must specify the “Autopay Authorize Permission Amount for Placing Bid.
This amount represents the authorization for auto-payment by the bidder and should meet or exceed the minimum amount
configured in the “Selling Plan-Based Auto Payment” settings.
This is an Autopay auction. To place a bid, you need to authorize by placing an order.
Let a winner occur, the winning amount will be automatically deducted. If a win does not occur, the order amount will be refunded.
If your bid exceeds the authorized limit, please submit a new order to adjust the authorization amount so that your bid can be considered.
