Ultimate Auction Pro Plugin

Ultimate Auction Pro Plugin extends an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site with auction tools for various bidding formats, payment collection and auction management.

Auction formats and controls

Paid capabilities include automatic or proxy bidding, where the system handles bids on a visitor's behalf, and silent auctions. Reverse bidding supports scenarios where lower bids are preferred. Set variable bid increments for auction products or add a buyer's premium.

• Schedule future auctions and manage timed auction activity.
• Use soft-close bidding to extend auction time and help address last-second bids through an anti-sniping feature.
• Display new bidding activity without requiring users to refresh the page.
• Relist expired auctions automatically or manually.
• Collect credit card details and automatically debit the winning amount.

Marketplace and product support

Users can add auctions through WCFM Marketplace. The plugin also supports virtual products, bulk importing auction entries and deleting user bids. Widgets for expired and future auctions can display relevant auction activity in widget areas.

Notifications and website management

SMS notifications can keep users informed during auctions. Custom emails let site owners adjust auction messages, while shortcodes and filters provide settings for placing or adapting auction content. The add-on is compatible with WPML and LocoTranslate for multilingual site workflows.

Setup sequence

After installing the Pro plugin on an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site, configure the auction options. Add or import auction products, set bid increments and dates, pick a bidding format, then configure payment, notifications, relisting and display options before publishing.
