Can I add a Buy it Now option to my Auction Items?

Last updated:

Yes, this can be done by simply checking the Buy Now box in the auction item and complete the required fields when creating or editing the item. You can set it to "Pay Now" to let the participants pay for the item immediately or let them pay later once the auction is closed.

Buy Now on Auction Items



This is how it will look in your campaign after enabling buy now on auction items, participants can choose to either place a bid or buy it now for the price already set.

If there's only one unit available and someone purchases it, then the highest bidder will not be considered a winner anymore and they'll be notified via email that they are outbid by someone who purchased the item using Buy it Now.

If there are multiple units available, then it works similarly and the winning bidders are shown based on the available units after buy it now purchases.

This option will be available even after the auction is closed, so that participants can choose to buy it now at the end if not already won by a bidder.
