Here’s what Darryl has to say about WPAuction software:

This was exactly what I was looking for. WPAuction software has provided me with features and functionalities that make a perfect auction site. – Darryl Lane

How to get started with WPAuction software

It is effortless to set up WPAuction software in different auction modes. You can use these auctions to create professional auction websites, eBay-type auctions, and many more. The plugin comes with pre-designed email templates that make it easy for you to customize the email notifications. The plugin works with all modern WordPress themes available.

The various types of WooCommerce Auctions supported by this plugin are:

??Forward Auction: It’s the most common type of auction. Auction starts from a specific price, and users bid for the product. If the reserve price is met at the end of the auction, the user with the highest bid can buy the product.

??Reverse Auction: This auction is the reverse of a Forward auction. The auction will start from a specific price, and users place bids to lower the bid price. The user with the lowest bid wins. This auction is suitable for government contracts, service contracts, work to be awarded to lower bidders.

??Penny Auction (PRO version): In Penny auction, the user needs to buy credits/bids. Once the user places a bid, the amount set (usually a penny) gets deducted. This amount is non-refundable, and the bidder with the highest bid can buy the product. You can also extend the auction each time someone places a new bid. This way, you let your users bid aggressively and sell them products at attractive prices.

This online auction plugin allows you to create a vendor auction marketplace on your website, allowing other users to host their auctions on your site. All they need to do is simply register on your auction website and list their products. You can then specify the percentage of commission for every single vendor.

Complete waste of time

ajpvt August 19, 2024

Widgets don’t show up, no buttons anywhere, not updated to latest version of WP in months and instructions are poor. Nice concept, but literally nothing works.

documentation

riverskiy July 21, 2021

1) there is no developer documentation 2) it is impossible to customize the layout of widgets

Good plugin but some issues and really bad support

armmed June 14, 2021 1 reply

I have joined the club last week. `In the plugin auction, the bids are not visible. You only see no-bid when you call up the offer. In addition, other minor errors. Screenshots cannot be uploaded with the ticket. I started two tickets. Both were on June 10, 2021. There was only one answer to one ticket, and only a rudimentary one. That was June 11th. After that no more sound. No answers to my multiple inquiries. The time difference between SUA and India makes it difficult to work with them anyway. But you can’t seem to work for these people. The first ticket is still pending after four days. The second ticket without an answer to Closed. I will quit the club and look for another plugin. The plugin is at all not what they described-

Great Plugin
