Select Products for Auction
This guide explains how product selection works in Tipo Product Auction and how auctions are displayed on your Shopify store.
Open the app > click Auctions > click Create auction button
Enter Auction name
Example: New Auction, December Auction
Choose the product(s) for this auction in Products section
There are 3 options:
📌 Specific products
Select individual products manually.
Best for:
Limited auctions
Featured products
Exclusive items
📂 Specific collections
Add all products from selected Shopify collections.
Best for:
Seasonal collections
Category-based auctions
Large product groups
How it works:
Products inside the selected collections will automatically join the auction
Newly added products in the collection may also follow the auction rules
🌍 All products
Apply the auction to all products in the store.
Best for:
Storewide auction campaigns
Simple global setup
Use carefully if your store has many products.
✅ How Product Auctions Work
Tipo Auction works based on the product, not individual variants.
Example:
Product: “Gold Ring”
Variants:
Size 6
Size 7
Size 8
If this product is added to an auction, the auction applies to the whole product. Customers bid on the product itself. Variants are not auctioned separately
🛒 How It Appears on Your Storefront
When a product is included in an active auction:
Auction form appears on the product page
Customers can place bids directly
Countdown timer is displayed
Current highest bid is shown
Auction rules follow your setup
Customers can:
Submit bids
Enable auto bidding (if enabled)
View auction status in real time
⚠️ Important Notes
Auctions are linked to products, not variants
Removing a product from the auction stops bidding immediately
Products must remain active in Shopify. Draft or unavailable products may not appear correctly
