This widget could let us set up auctions where sellers receive offers until they’re happy with the price. The bidding system helps both sides get a good deal, and the lively trading process can boost engagement. ---

Hello Dan, Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately, we don’t have release dates for our upcoming widgets at the moment, I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. We do try to release them as soon as possible, however, everything depends on the dev team overall load. And we will be happy to notify you here as soon as we have this widget on the list. Thank you for your understanding and patience! ---

Hi Niu, I totally understand your frustration and we’re truly sorry for having misled you. We’ve made the Coming Soon section to demonstrate the widgets which we’re planning to release so that our users have an idea about the upcoming solutions. Since we realized that we’re unable to set the release date, we didn’t do so. We’re really sorry that it’s taking longer than we expected and that the widget you desired to try hasn’t been ready yet. We do appreciate your trust in us, and we’ll try our best to release new widgets faster. Thank you so much! ---

Original comment from Gues Gues transferred from the previous Wishlist portal: > [@](#): > > Excuse me but I’m profoundly confused by how you are creating a “widget” that matters at all. I’m surprised Cory down below even cares. Do you understand the complexity behind tracking the authenticated user (how does this get passed to elfsight), confirming they have the available funds via placing a hold (how does elfsight integrate with the payment processor), do you plan to save this data to your own database (this may be against the law in some locations), and how do you notify the website owner after auction closes (automated workflow, websockets, what?). > > If you can’t program this yourself, you aren’t getting a leg up by purchasing some stupid frontend widget. This is a fucking joke. ---

Hi there, Thanks for your comment! We understand your point and I’ll be happy to share our plans regarding this widget development. Since the widget is still under consideration, we don’t have a particular way of its development yet, but our dev team will definitely conduct a research study. You’re right that functionality for such a widget is somewhat complex, and it’s unlikely we will develop the whole platform to run auctions via our widget. One of the possible solutions is integration with a ready-made third-party platform, where our widget will be a handy interface for quick integration into the website. These are our thoughts at the moment, but a more concrete solution will be seen only after some research. I hope it helped, but if any other questions remain or if you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to leave your comments. Thank you!

Dear folks, We’re so grateful that you’re waiting for this widget to be released and I’m really sorry that we haven’t done so yet. I wish I could share the good news, however, I have to admit that we’re not able to release this widget in the coming months. I’m extremely sorry about this! You see, everything depends on our dev team’s overall load and at the moment they are swamped with urgent tasks. It surely doesn’t mean that our Coming Soon widgets are not going to be developed, it just means that we’ll try our best to get back to them as soon as we can. We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding 🙏🏻 Helga, Community Manager Keep up with latest updates — [Facebook](https://elfsig.ht/3zUsqBa) Get to know our team — [Instagram](https://elfsig.ht/2VmJNf9) ---
