Overview
The plugin lets a WooCommerce store run auctions alongside regular products or display them on auction-only pages. Sellers can choose normal, reverse, silent, proxy, or seated auctions, then set details such as a starting bid, bid increments, reserve price, buy-it-now price, schedule, and item condition.
Bidders can follow auctions through watchlists and a personalized My Auctions page, with live bid updates through AJAX. Anti-sniping can extend an auction when a last-minute bid arrives. Store owners can manage bids and auction statuses in WordPress, set up bidder email notifications, and control how upcoming and completed auctions appear.
