WooCommerce Simple Auctions

Selling unique, limited-edition or high-demand items works well with competitive bidding, but running auctions usually means moving to a separate platform. WooCommerce Simple Auctions works with WooCommerce directly, so auctions sit inside the store you already run and use the same setup.

Buyers place bids on mobile-friendly auction pages and follow live countdown timers and a visible bid history. Sellers create, edit and monitor auctions from one dashboard. When an auction ends, the winner is selected and notified by email. It suits stores that want an eBay-style bidding format on their own site.

Features

• Built into WooCommerce: The plugin adds auction functionality to an existing WooCommerce store, so you can keep your current store setup while listing products for bidding.
• Automatic proxy bidding: Bidders can enter a maximum amount, and their bid rises automatically as others bid, up to that limit, without placing each bid by hand.
• Real-time countdown timers: Auction pages display a countdown that updates live, so bidders can see exactly how much time remains before an auction closes.
• Seller auction dashboard: Create, edit and monitor auctions in one place, with tracking of bids and notifications that tell winners the auction has ended.
• Several auction types: Choose from standard, reverse and silent auction formats, depending on how you want to sell a particular item.
• Adjustable auction settings: Set reserve prices, minimum bid increments, and the start and end times of each auction to control how bidding runs.
• Public bid history: Bidders and sellers can both view the full record of bids on an auction, which keeps activity clear and easy to follow.
• Multilingual and multi-currency: The plugin works with popular translation plugins and supports multiple currencies, which helps stores that sell to buyers in different regions.
