Auctions for WooCommerce

Auctions for WooCommerce is a professional plugin that extends your WooCommerce store with a new custom product type: the auction. It is designed for online store owners who want to incorporate a bidding sales model, either as a main business channel or as a complement to traditional sales. With this plugin, you can create normal, reverse, silent, and proxy bid auctions, all from the familiar WordPress and WooCommerce environment.

The plugin allows you to configure each auction with total precision: starting price, bid increment, reserve price, buy it now price, start and end dates, and item condition. It includes an anti-sniping feature that automatically extends the auction duration when a last-minute bid is placed, ensuring a fair closing. It also supports variable bid increments, either by fixed amounts or by a percentage of the current bid.

Buyers can add auctions to a watchlist and access a personalized "My Auctions" page where they see all active and won bids. The system sends email notifications with editable templates to notify when a user is outbid, when the auction is about to end, when an auction is won, and much more. Additionally, it includes real-time browser notifications when a bid is placed or when an auction is about to close.

Among its standout features are live bid updates via AJAX, widgets to show auctions ending soon, upcoming, recent, featured, and random auctions, as well as visual badges to identify auction products and the winner of each bid. The plugin is compatible with Elementor, allowing you to customize auction templates with the visual builder, and also supports hooks, shortcodes, and translations via WPML.

For administrators, it offers advanced tools such as filtering auctions by status (active, finished, failed), status icons in the product list, the ability to manually delete bids, automatic or manual relisting of failed or unpaid auctions, and full support for the WooCommerce REST API. It is also compatible with HPOS and can be combined with the Product Vendors plugin to create an eBay-style site where users can auction their own items.

Optimized for high traffic and capable of handling hundreds of concurrent bidders, Auctions for WooCommerce is a fast, secure, and efficient solution for any store that wants to make the leap into the world of online auctions.
