Seller storefront subdomains
Every approved seller gets a free profile at https://current.auction/seller/{handle}. Sellers who want a branded home can add a storefront subdomain such as hendersoncollectibles.current.auction for $19.99 per month.
The storefront is optional. You do not need it to list, sell, receive payouts, build reputation or appear in marketplace search. Listing stays free and the marketplace commission stays 0% either way.
What is included
- One seller-selected subdomain with your logo, banner, description and policies.
- Sections for live auctions, ending soon, newly listed, sold history and reviews.
- Seller-level search, category filters and sort controls.
- Storefront analytics: views, clicks, watchers, bids and sales conversion.
- A share link and social metadata for the storefront.
What it does not change
A storefront is a presentation layer over central inventory. Bidding, checkout, payments, fees, shipping evidence, disputes, fraud controls and buyer protections are provided by Current Auction on every host, and a storefront cannot alter any of them.
Choosing a subdomain
- Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens; 3 to 40 characters; no leading, trailing or repeated hyphens.
- Category and system subdomains are reserved and can never be claimed.
- Impersonation, protected-brand and deceptive names are rejected, and high-risk names may need manual review.
- You need a verified email, a verified phone and an approved seller account before activating.
Billing
- $19.99 per month, auto-renewing until you cancel.
- Charged to a tokenized card. Every renewal is idempotent and recorded in a subscription ledger.
- If a renewal fails we retry through a 7-day grace period. Your storefront stays visible and your buyers see no payment warning.
- After grace the storefront is suspended and its host redirects to your free seller profile. Your listings stay live and untouched.
- Cancelling stops future renewals and keeps the storefront through the paid-through date. Your subdomain is held for you for 30 days afterwards.
Customisation limits
Branding is allow-listed configuration: an approved logo, banner, text, featured collections and theme options. Seller-supplied JavaScript, raw CSS, HTML embeds, iframes and third-party tracking pixels are not permitted, because every storefront shares the trusted current.auction application boundary with your buyers' sessions.
