EffectIO WooCommerce Simple Auction 3.0.3

Description:

WooCommerce Simple Auctions is a plugin that turns a WooCommerce store on WordPress into an auction site. It supports normal, reverse, and sealed auctions, with proxy bidding that lets customers enter a maximum bid while the system bids on their behalf. Sellers can set a starting price, bid increment, and reserve, add an optional Buy It Now price, and schedule opening and closing dates.

Auctions can appear alongside regular products or on a dedicated page, with upcoming, featured, and ending-soon displays built through shortcodes and Elementor support, and live checks keep bids and auction history updated. Customers follow items with a watchlist and find active and won auctions in My Auctions, with outbid, winner, payment reminder, and closing-soon emails on editable templates. Winner payment goes through WooCommerce checkout, while automatic winner charging and stored-card bidding need Stripe and a saved card.

Anti-sniping extends an auction when a bid arrives close to its deadline, with a configurable bidding window and added seconds, and failed or unpaid auctions can be relisted manually or automatically. Admins manage auctions from WordPress, review bids, track winners, and export reports as CSV or Excel. The plugin suits stores adding auctions or building custom auction sites, requires WordPress, WooCommerce, and reliable server cron jobs, and needs a separate marketplace plugin for multi-vendor selling.

The vendor’s own page for WooCommerce Simple Auction has the full details.
