Auction buttons with Auctiva auction listings

CollectFair's auction buttons are fully compatible with Auctiva auction listings. This page shows step-by-step instructions of how to do it.

CollectFair auction buttons can be added to each individual listing, but it's better to save the button in an Auctiva Profile. That way the button is automatically included in all your listings.

If you prefer to add the button to your listings individually, just skip step number 1 and 3.

Adding an auction button to an Auctiva profile

  1. Below is a view of the main Auctiva page for creating profiles.

    If you have an existing profile click "Manage Profiles" and select your existing profile. If you don't have any profiles yet, click "Item Details"

    Overview of the main Auctiva screen

  2. Adding the button

    This stage is the same for individual items, and for the Auctiva Profile

    • In the editor section of the Item Details page, you can enter some text about your items

    Auctiva auction item description with text entered

    • Next, click the Source button at the top left of the editor. This will switch you to viewing the HTML code which lies behind the text of your item description.

    Switching to the Source code view

    • Switch windows to view the CollectFair site in you internet browser. Using the mouse select and copy the CollectFair button code from the CollectFair site. Instructions are available here including details of where to find your personalised button code.

    • After copying the button code, switch back to the Auctiva window. Place the mouse pointer in the box for text. Click the right mouse button, and choose paste.

    Paste in the button code

    • You can now switch back to the standard view by clicking the Source button again and the CollectFair button will appear. Continue through the Profile page, and save it as normal.

  3. Using your Auctiva Profile

    For each item you list, simply choose the profile name in which you stored the CollectFair Auction button. This step does not apply if you are adding auction buttons to listings individually.
