Live Auctions & Bidding

Real timed auctions — live bids, no sniping, and the winner pays automatically.

Turn any product into a timed auction: live bidding with an updating price, phone-verified bidders, private maximum bids the system bids for, and a soft close that extends the clock when someone bids at the last second. When time runs out, the highest bidder automatically gets an order and a secure payment link — on the site and on WhatsApp. Ideal for used goods, collectibles, antiques, watches, and one-of-a-kind pieces.

How it works

What you actually do, step by step — most owners finish this from a phone.

1

List a lot

Switch on Auction on any product — set the starting bid, minimum step and end time, plus an optional scheduled start, hidden reserve price, Buy-Now price or sealed bidding.

2

Customers bid live

Every bidder signs in with an OTP first. They bid by hand or set a private maximum and the system bids for them, step by step — and a bid in the final minutes extends the clock, so nobody wins by split-second sniping.

3

The winner pays automatically

When the clock runs out, the highest bid above your reserve becomes an order with a secure payment link, sent on the site and WhatsApp. You watch it all — live bids, watchers, winners, payments — on your Auctions page.

Why it matters for your business

True market price

For unique or used items where a fixed price is a guess, competing bids discover what buyers will actually pay.

Serious buyers only

OTP verification filters out time-wasters — every bid carries a verified phone number, and blocked customers can't bid at all.

Nothing to chase

No calling the winner and haggling over payment — the order and payment link are created the moment the auction closes.

Fair by design

Anti-snipe soft close, hidden reserves, and private maximum bids that never overpay — the mechanics collectors expect from a real auction house.

What's included

The honest, complete list — limits stated where they exist.

  • Live bid updates and countdowns — on the product page and on listing cards
  • Private maximum bids: the system auto-bids for the customer up to their cap, one step at a time
  • Anti-snipe soft close — late bids extend the clock (you choose the window)
  • Hidden reserve prices (shown only as 'reserve met / not met'), scheduled starts, sealed-bid mode
  • Buy-Now price on any lot — available until the first bid lands
  • Automatic winner order + secure payment link, with WhatsApp and push notifications
  • Watchlists: customers tap ★ Watch and get reminded when a lot starts or is ending soon
  • Auctions console: live board, bidder contacts, extend / end now / relist / offer-to-next-bidder, and a ⚡ 60-second finale for live streams
  • Runs alongside your normal fixed-price products in the same store — plus two dedicated designs: 'Hammer' (auction house for collectibles and estates) and 'Yard' (a consignment yard for scrap metal, surplus and machinery — sellers send a request, you weigh and list the lot, approved buyers bid)
  • Approved-bidders mode: keep the site public but let only buyers you approve place bids; a seller & commission record on each consigned lot shows what you owe the seller after the hammer falls

Common questions

How does the winner pay?
Automatically. The highest bid becomes a real order the moment the auction closes, and the customer gets a secure payment link on the site and on WhatsApp. If they don't pay in time, you're reminded — and you can offer the lot to the next bidder in one tap.
Can someone win by bidding at the last second?
No. A bid in the final minutes extends the clock (the soft close), so every bidder gets a fair last word.
Is a customer's maximum bid visible to anyone?
Never. Maximum bids stay private — the system bids on their behalf only as much as needed, one step at a time.
What if my reserve isn't met?
The lot doesn't sell and you're told. Relist it in one tap or contact the highest bidder — their verified phone number is on your Auctions page.
Can I run a scrap-yard or consignment auction where other people bring the goods?
Yes — the Yard design is built for it. Sellers send a request from the Sell page, you collect, weigh and list the lot with the weighbridge facts, only bidders you approve can bid, and the Auctions page keeps the seller and your agreed commission against every lot.
Can I run auctions while streaming on Instagram?
Yes — the ⚡ 60-second finale puts a lot into sudden death from your dashboard while you're live. Bidders on the lot page see the clock and the bids update in real time.
