Auctions for WooCommerce

Some products sell better when buyers compete for them, such as exclusive items or special sales events. Auctions for WooCommerce extends the store you already run, so auctions sit next to regular products instead of living on a separate site. You can show auctions alongside other items, on auction-only pages, and decide whether upcoming or completed auctions stay visible.

Bidders get a watchlist, a personal My Auctions page and live bid updates through AJAX. Anti-sniping extends the auction when late bids arrive. It works with Product Vendors, so users can list their own items in an eBay-style marketplace, and WPML support suits multilingual shops, though multiple currency support is limited.

Features

• Four auction formats: Run normal, reverse, silent or proxy auctions, so each product can follow the bidding style that fits it.
• Seated auctions: Bidders can buy a seat to take part, which gives you control over who gets access to a given auction.
• Detailed auction settings: Set where bidding begins, how much each bid rises, a reserve, a buy it now option, the schedule and the condition of the item.
• Anti-sniping and variable increments: Soft close extends an auction when last-minute bids arrive, and bid increments can be set by value or by percentage.
• Stripe auto charge: Won auctions can be charged automatically through Stripe, which cuts down on chasing winners for payment.
• Elementor and shortcode design: Shortcodes let you build custom auction pages in Elementor and other visual builders without writing code.
• Widgets and notifications: Widgets cover ending soon, featured, recent and watchlist auctions plus search. Customizable emails and browser notifications keep bidders informed.
• Admin management tools: Filter auctions by status, create one from any product type, manage bids by hand and relist auctions automatically or manually.
