Recently launched Shopify Product Auction Bid On Multiple Units feature, where admin can enable it for bidder to bid for number of units of product.
For example a product has 10 units then bidder can bid for more than one unit.
To decide the winner for the auction logic applied will be on the basis of highest price, then quantity then time .
Let’s take this case for instance.
The auction has 50 units.
Bidder #1 makes a bid for 30 units for 4$ each.
Bidder #2 makes a bid for 20 units for 6$ each.
Bidder #3 makes a bid for 20 units for 4$ each.
Bidder #4 makes a bid for 10 units for 5$.
Winner here would be : bidder #2, #3, #4.
Let us now understand how to enable this feature:

Go to auction configuration and enable this feature of bid on multiple units.
Once you enable this, there will be another configuration popped up enabling which will allow bidders to bid less than the current bid.
Once it is enabled, click on save button to save this setting.
