Catalog-native auctions
Auctions are products on your online auction platform with a bid panel - customers discover them in shop grids, collections, and search like any other SKU.

Mixed-cart ready
Sell the auction lot alongside event tickets, rentals, or merch in one order when your client runs hybrid campaigns.

Frequently asked questions
What operators ask before they launch auctions on ShopDango.
What is an online auction platform?
It is the software that runs a timed or silent auction end to end: the lot listing, the bidding rules, the close, and the winning bidder's checkout. On ShopDango each auction is a catalog product, so lots appear in shop grids, collections and search like any other item.
How are reserve prices and bid increments enforced?
Server-side. A bid below the reserve or below the next valid increment is rejected, so the rules hold even if someone manipulates the page, and the bid history uses masked bidder labels with the winning bid marked.
Can a last-second bid steal the lot?
No. Auctions close automatically at the scheduled time, and a bid that lands in the final minutes extends the close instead of ending the lot mid-contention.
How does the winning bidder pay?
The winning bidder checks out against the auction product itself, so the order stays linked to the lot it came from and the fulfillment team sees exactly what was won and at what price.
Can auction lots be sold alongside regular products?
Yes. Auctions live in the same catalog as physical goods, event tickets and rentals, and one cart can hold an auction win plus other items when your client runs a hybrid campaign.
