Frequently asked questions

Install TipoWhen the auction ends, the winner gets an email with a Complete your purchase button. It opens your normal Shopify checkout. They can also check out from Auction history in their account.
How the winner completes the orderSet a payment deadline in hours or days. When it passes, the checkout link stops working, and on Silver and up the item can go to the next highest bidder.
Assign to the next highest bidderNot while the auction runs. Turn on Checkout Protection in Shopify’s checkout rules and active auction products can only be bought through the auction.
Checkout ProtectionA bidder sets the most they will pay. Tipo bids the smallest amount needed to keep them ahead, only when someone else bids, and never above their limit.
Automatic biddingTurn on auto-extend. If a bid comes in when little time is left, the end time moves back by the amount you choose, so others get a fair chance to answer.
Auto-extend end timeYes. Set a minimum selling price. If the highest bid stays below it, nobody wins and no order is created. You choose whether bidders can see it.
Minimum selling priceYes. Shoppers log in to their store account before they bid, so every bid belongs to a real customer.
Create a new auctionCheck that the Tipo app embed is turned on in your theme editor. The widget then appears on the product pages you put up for auction.
