# How many winners can an auction have?

The winner of an auction is the bidder who places the highest valid bid when the auction ends.

In Tipo Product Auction, **each auction has one winner**. When the auction finishes, the app automatically:

* Selects the highest bidder as the winner
* Creates an order at the winning bid price
* Gives the winner access to complete checkout

For a detailed explanation, see:\
[**Order for the auction winner**](https://docs.tipo.io/tipo-auction/winner-and-checkout-flow/order-for-the-auction-winner)

If the winner does not complete payment within the allowed time, you can enable **Auto-assign next winner**.\
This feature automatically assigns the next highest bidder as the new winner.
