penCustomize auction widget text

The auction widget text is the wording customers see on the product page, such as button labels, messages, and auction status text.

Customizing this text helps you:

  • Match your store’s tone and language

  • Make auction actions clearer for customers

  • Improve conversion and understanding


🎯 What text can be customized?

You can edit text that appears on the auction widget, including:

  • Button text (for example: Place bid)

  • Status messages (for example: Auction ended)

  • Helper messages (for example: You haven’t bid on this lot yet)

  • Error or notice messages (for example: You have no penny)

These changes apply to all auction widgets in your store.
