# Minimum selling price
### ℹ️ What is Minimum selling price (Reserve price)?
A Minimum selling price - reserve price is the minimum price you are willing to accept for an auction item.\
If bidding does not reach this price, the item will not be sold, even if there are bids.
If the highest bid is below the reserve price, the auction has no winner.

### ✅ How the Minimum selling price Works
* You set a **Minimum selling price** when creating the auction
* The auction runs and customers place bids
* When the auction ends:
* If the highest bid meets or exceeds the Minimum selling price → winner is selected
* If the highest bid is below Minimum selling price → no winner
#### Example
**Auction settings**
* Starting price: **$50**
* Minimum selling price: **$200**
**Scenario 1:** Minimum selling price met
* Highest bid: **$220**
✅ Result:
* Auction has a winner
* Winner completes checkout at **$220**
***
**Scenario 2**: Minimum selling price not met
* Highest bid: **$150**
❌ Result:
* No winner is selected
* No order is created
