Best suited for stores working on average order value and catalog reach.
Turn any product into a live auction with real-time bidding, proxy max bids, and bidder emails. Auction Now turns any Shopify product into a timed auction on your store. Bidders place real-time bids in a custom widget, set max bids for proxy bidding, and follow items on a watchlist. Soft Close extends the end time when late bids arrive, so last-second sniping does not decide it. Winners get a payment deadline; if they do not pay, the runner-up is offered the item. Supports 46 currencies, combined shipping, and bulk creation for collectibles, antiques, art, cards, and charity sales. Auction Now turns any Shopify product into a timed auction on your store.

Love love this app! My customers seem to love it too!
Superb! Easy to setup and easy to use. Perfect for my antique auctions. Many apps overcomplicate things, but this is smooth and a breath of fresh air. Thanks so much for adding an extra dimension to my online shop. I highly recommend.
Extremely happy with the process so far. The team is responsive to questions and suggestions. Looking forward to future updates!
Our team wasted a lot of time setting up this app to our website. It does not allow customers to sign in to bid. Also customers can bid without adding a payment method, this means that they can backout of a purchase even after bidding. I don't recommend this app until it's been fixed.
I used this app to set up my first auction on my online shop, and love it! The interface is super clear and easy to use, and I was able to set it up fast without any issues. I will definitely be using it in the future. Thank you again to Chris and Jonathan at Raremarq for all your help!
The team at Auction now is very accessible and hands on with any set-up help needed. We are so thrilled to be able to run auctions from our own website and work directly with our customers instead of through a third party like Ebay. We've gained new customers and our long time customers have loved the new feature as well
I normally list my special covers for a fixed price, but I recently posted what I knew was a "hot new title" at auction, and it sold for 3x what I would have listed it as. This shows what the market is currently paying, and was an awesome boost to my sales this week. PLUS since everything happened directly on my website, I'm not paying all of the usual "final value fee" and "fee X" and "fee Y", as well as waiting for payments to clear. Everything is clear and transparent and FAST...and I can trust a named buyer a lot more than I can "NoobSlayer958" on other platforms.
Very user-friendly with a clean widget! Raremarq continues to take strides to help creators & retailers to increase their revenue in different ways. They are very responsive and open to any feedback in order to better help us. I highly recommend adding this app to your arsenal !
