When Allow late payments from winners is enabled:

• Winners can complete checkout even after the checkout deadline has passed.

• The auction item is not reassigned to another bidder.

• Automatic winner reassignment settings are hidden.

This option is ideal when you want to give customers additional flexibility to complete their purchase.

💡 Example: Late Payments Allowed

Auction Result

• Winning bidder: John

• Winning bid: $500

The auction ends on Monday at 10:00 AM.

John receives a winner notification but does not complete payment immediately.

Three days later, John returns to the store and completes checkout.

Because Allow late payments from winners is enabled:

• John still has access to checkout.

• The item remains reserved for John.

• The auction is not reassigned to another bidder.

• John can complete payment at any time until the purchase is completed.
