AI-Powered Auctions for Shopify

Standard Auction

Traditional highest-bid-wins format. Set a starting price and optional reserve — the highest bidder when time expires takes the prize. Simple, proven, effective.

Proxy Bidding

Bidders set their maximum amount and the system automatically bids on their behalf in minimum increments. Like eBay-style bidding — convenient for buyers, competitive for sellers.

Popcorn (Anti-Snipe)

Time automatically extends when bids come in during the final minutes. Eliminates last-second sniping and ensures fair competition. Configurable extension window.

Penny Auction

Small fixed-increment bids create gamification and excitement. Each bid extends the timer slightly. Drives engagement and creates urgency — perfect for high-visibility products.

Dutch Auction

Price starts high and decreases over time until a buyer accepts. Great for perishable inventory, limited editions, or when you want fast sales. First to accept wins.

Sealed-Bid

All bids are hidden until the auction ends. Highest bidder wins. Creates strategic bidding behavior where participants bid their true value. Ideal for high-value items.
