Olá, @Daniel2 
O aplicativo Auction ainda não está no roteiro, por isso é difícil dar previsões no momento.
Como você pode notar, estamos trabalhando ativamente no desenvolvimento de novos aplicativos e somente neste ano 9 novos widgets foram lançados.
Ao priorizar solicitações, temos que equilibrar entre sua complexidade e popularidade. No momento, temos várias solicitações com prioridade mais alta e nossos desenvolvedores estão focados nelas.
No entanto, não vamos abandonar essa ideia e, com sorte, poderemos considerá-la em uma das atualizações futuras. Postarei aqui caso haja alguma alteração 
Muito obrigado pelo feedback!
Hi there, @Daniel2
The Auction app isn’t in roadmap yet, that’s why it’s hard to give any predictions at the moment.
As you might notice, we are actively working on developing new apps and only this year 9 new widgets have been launched.
When prioritizing requests, we have to balance between their complexity and popularity. Right now, we have a bunch of requests with higher priority and our devs are focused on them.
However, we are not going to abandon this idea and, hopefully, we’ll be able to consider it in one of the future updates. I’ll be posting here in case of any changes
Thank you so much for the feedback!

Hi @user17746, thank you for your interest!
I’m afraid we don’t have any updates on this request right now, as our devs are currently focused on other apps 
But we’ll make sure to post here if anything changes

Hello,
What is the current status of the Squarespace auction widget? I and several of my clients want to know if it is even being developed and coming soon. If it is known that it is not coming soon, then they know to look for another solution.
Thanks,
Kalevi

Hi @Kalevi_Tamm, great to see you in our community!
Unfortunately, the Auction widget isn’t part of our plans at the moment, and I’m really sorry about that This is a complex feature that goes beyond the typical widgets we focus on, so I’m afraid we’re not able to prioritize it right now.
We’re working on other widgets and cool features now, you can find them in our In Progress section: Topics tagged In-Progress

I would LOVE an auction widget for personal sales! The “until they’re happy with the price” is throwing me off. I’m hoping a sort of reserve could be set and there would be an end date for auction close. Hobby artist and collector here; this would be so handy for trying sales of OOAK pieces, for passing along items from a collection, or even gathering funds for a charitable cause with an item donated to the highest bidder.

Hi there, @Candace_Jean, and thank you for sharing your use case with us!
Could you please describe in more detail how the reservation feature should work and how the winners would be chosen? This will help us understand your idea better

Sure! So, I imagine this widget working with one item at a time. I also imagined it being plugged into a platform allowing longer item descriptions and additional images (like a personal shop via Big Cartel, Shopify, etc., or a blogging platform). The majority of information/images would be on the owner’s personal site, with the widget at the bottom of the item preview/info page, or “listing.”
This would keep the widget simple: one (or no) item image, an item title, a single-line item description, an auction end date, and a reserve* price, if desired.
(*I realize that’s all you asked for and I’m getting long-winded, sorry)
If I am a mixed-media artist, say, I’d go to my site, put up pictures and description and process of this handmade, one-of-a-kind art doll for example, and plug in my widget underneath.
I’d like to end the bidding in three days.
I’m going to start the bidding at $100 (the opening price).
I’d like to get at least $200 for my handmade art item, so I’ll set that as my reserve.
Bidding begins with my followers and collectors.
(Maybe the widget allows bids in particular increments with a mouse click? Maybe it accepts ten-key input?)
Before the three days end, bids have exceeded the reserve. Hooray!
The auction closes at the end date I’d set, and Stripe (just say) processes the winning bid of $310. I ship the art doll to the winner, as the widget has collected the credit card billing address.
But, maybe I don’t have many followers yet. Bidding is happening, but at auction close, my art doll is only up to $195. It has not met the reserve I’d set at $200.
Payment is not processed.
I could also see the widget being used without a reserve, if the user prefers. Maybe they have an item and are collecting donations for a charity. User starts the bidding at $0, sets the close date for 7 days, and allows bids to come in. At the 7-day mark when the widget closes the auction, the user has collected $500 that they had announced would be sent to XYZ charity, and the top bidder would be mailed the auction item. With no reserve, they’d send the top bidder x item even if the auction closes at $5, because there was no reserve price set.
Reserve = amount the user wants to collect at minimum. If bidding surpasses that figure, the winner’s credit card is charged at auction close. If bidding does not surpass the reserve, the auction closes without credit card processing. If no reserve is set by the user, the widget automatically processes payment on the highest bid at auction close.

@Candace_Jean Got it, thank you so much for such a thorough description.
I am not sure if all mentioned features will be available in the app, but we’ll try to consider your use case when working on the app

Hopefully there is a partial rollout of this Auction feature available this year.
I know something like this website “watchcollecting.com”, maybe a huge development…

Thanks so much for your suggestion, @Hanea_Sofin!
I can see how exciting the Auction widget idea is, but I want to point out that it’s a rather complex project that goes beyond the scope of a simple widget, so it would require significant resources.
At the moment, we might not be able to add this widget request to our roadmap for this year, but we’ll keep you updated if anything changes. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts and ideas though, it’s super helpful for us to understand your needs!

Creating an auction widget in HTML involves structuring the layout and adding necessary elements like item details, bid input, timer, and buttons. Below is a simple example of an HTML code for an auction widget:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Auction Widget</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #f4f4f4;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
.auction-widget {
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
padding: 20px;
width: 300px;
text-align: center;
}
.auction-widget h2 {
margin: 0 0 10px;
font-size: 24px;
color: #333;
}
.auction-widget img {
max-width: 100%;
border-radius: 10px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
.auction-widget p {
font-size: 16px;
color: #666;
margin: 5px 0;
}
.auction-widget .timer {
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #e74c3c;
margin: 10px 0;
}
.auction-widget input[type="number"] {
width: 80%;
padding: 10px;
margin: 10px 0;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
}
.auction-widget button {
background-color: #3498db;
color: #fff;
border: none;
padding: 10px 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.auction-widget button:hover {
background-color: #2980b9;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="auction-widget">
<h2>Item Name</h2>
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" alt="Item Image">
<p>Current Bid: <strong>$150</strong></p>
<p>Bidder: <strong>John Doe</strong></p>
<div class="timer">Time Left: 05:23</div>
<input type="number" placeholder="Enter your bid" min="151">

Explanation:
-
HTML Structure:
- The
divwith the classauction-widgetcontains all the elements of the widget. - The
h2tag is used for the item name. - An
imgtag is used to display the item image. ptags are used for displaying the current bid and bidder information.- A
divwith the classtimershows the remaining time for the auction. - An
inputfield allows users to enter their bid. - A
buttonis provided to place the bid.
- The
-
CSS Styling:
- Basic styling is applied to make the widget visually appealing.
- The widget is centered on the page using Flexbox.
- The
timeris highlighted in red to draw attention.
-
Placeholder Content:
- The item name, image, current bid, bidder, and timer are placeholders. You can replace these with dynamic content using JavaScript or a backend system.
Next Steps:
- Add JavaScript to handle the bid submission, update the timer dynamically, and validate the bid amount.
- Integrate with a backend to fetch real-time auction data.
This is a basic example, and you can expand it further based on your requirements!

The code looks interesting, thanks a lot for sharing!
However, please keep in mind that this would be a static widget, and there are several key aspects you’ll need to consider, such as real-time updates, bidding logic, item management (e.g., managing, adjusting, and uploading items), payment integration, auction end handling, appearance, and more.
I wish we had news on the development of this widget, but due to its complexity, we need to focus on other requests for now. We’ll be happy to update you here if anything changes
