YITH WooCommerce Auctions Premium

The plugin gives WooCommerce stores an auction system for products that customers can bid on. Set a starting price, a reserve price, and an optional instant purchase amount for each auction. Auctions can use standard bidding, where the highest bid wins, or reverse bidding, where the lowest bid wins. Secret auctions can keep bid amounts hidden from participants.

Bidders can follow auctions with a watchlist and receive email alerts. You can require users to register or log in before bidding, and ask them to confirm bids before they are placed. Optional participation fees and winner commissions provide additional ways to set auction terms. For stores that use YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, vendors can run their own auctions.
