### Why HikaAuction ?

Several times, in the HikaShop's forum, people ask for a new feature in order to create and manage Auctions based on Hikashop products on their shop
HikaAuction answer to this kind of request and propose an easy way to transform your Hikashop product into Auctions.

HikaAuction is also compatible with the [HikaMarket Multi-vendor](/extensions/hikamarket-multi-vendor.html) component, that integration will enable your vendors to directly create and manage their own auctions through the front-end of your shop.

### What is an Auction ?

In our case an auction will be an **Hikashop product**, that will enable you to use every Hikashop features while managing an Auction website.
Multiple bidding mode will be available, but the winner of every auction will be decided by the amount he offered for the product, so the customer with the highest bid will win the Auction.
