Product Auction

What this solution does

Module for organizing online auctions on a website. Supports classic bidding in ascending or descending price formats. The solution is compatible with existing product catalogs and can be deployed on new projects.

Administrators create lots by setting start and end dates, initial price, minimum price, bid increment, and a buyout option. Registered users place bids according to configured parameters. The participant with the highest price at the end of the auction wins and purchases the lot at their bid price.

- Configurable lot search

- Bid history tracking

- Ability to add lots to favorites

- Countdown timer to auction end

The 'Product Auction' module extends catalog functionality to support auctions with flexible rule configuration. Features include selling lots at special prices, automatic bidding (auto-bid), and automatic winner determination. Winners can place orders directly, while the system supports buyer personal accounts, unique logins, bid cancellation, and account blocking. For 'Small Business' and 'Business' editions, order placement by the winner and special price sales are available. The module utilizes AJAX technologies in templates, supports SEO-friendly URLs, and includes components for displaying favorite and won lots. It is compatible with editions from 'Start' to 'Business' version 12.5 and above.

Administrators can configure auction behavior by allowing or blocking multiple bids from a single participant, editing bids, and extending auction time after a new bid is placed. Settings include auction type (ascending or descending), bid step size, store commission, and buyer name display options. The system supports customizable email notifications and automatic auction extension.

Lot management features a customizable catalog structure and data import via CSV, XML, and 1C formats. Each lot can be assigned start and end dates, a seller, a starting price, and a minimum price. The system tracks lot statuses: listed, sold, paid, or unsold.

Product auction management module. Supports bid step configuration, winner determination, and management of lot titles, descriptions, and images.

Built-in statistics include bid history and auto-bid history for each lot. Administrators can add or remove bids on behalf of buyers. The system displays the number of online buyers, the seller's listed lots, the total value of lots won by a buyer, and the list of auctions in which the buyer participates.

The robot functionality allows for bot generation to place automatic bids and accelerate auctions. Users can configure the trigger probability for these robots and create delayed bots.
