Auctions Pro for WooCommerce
The most powerful WooCommerce auction software in the known universe.
We pioneered auctions for WooCommerce in 2013 and we’ve been the leader ever since.
Auctions Pro is rock solid, top quality software, and professionally supported by our team of experts.
All these features give you the power to sell anything by auction, beautifully:
Auction Types
Run regular auctions, reverse auctions, regular silent auctions, reverse silent auctions, and private auctions – all with the greatest of ease. And you can auction off virtual products and downloadable products too.
Mixed Product Types
Optionally sell auction items and non-auction items in the same store. You can sell a mix of any type of product supported in WooCommerce.
Verify Payment Methods
Optionally require all bidders to add a payment card to their user account before they are allowed to bid. This feature works with any payment gateway that supports stored cards or tokenization, such as Stripe, Authorize.net, Braintree, First Data, Intuit, Elavon, Square, and many more.
Bid Increment Control
Set a starting bid amount and a bid increments table that gives you total control over how much the next bid on an auction must be. Your increments can be defined as a flat amount or percentage.
Bid Start Control
You can also delay the start of bidding by setting a bidding start date. This is great when you want to publish auction items early for bidder review before the bidding actually starts.
Automatic Bidding
With automatic proxy bidding your bidders can enter the maximum amount they are comfortable paying. The software then bids on their behalf to keep them in the lead, but only up to that limit.
Anti-bid Sniping / Overtime
The anti-bid sniping feature automatically extends an auction into “overtime” by X minutes when a new bid is received within the set number of minutes before the auction end time
Reserve Price
Optionally add a reserve price so that a bidder doesn’t automatically win unless the reserve price is met. And you can optionally enable a “Bid the Reserve” button so a bidder can immediately place a bid at your reserve price.
Buy It Now
Add a “buy it now” feature to any auction so that a shopper can immediately buy the item without bidding.
Auction End Dates
Set the auction end date manually, or select an auction duration period to have the end date set for your automatically
Item Condition
Optionally add an item condition so bidders know whether they’re buying new, used, new without packaging, etc.
Automatic Relisting
Have any of your auctions automatically relisted if they don’t sell, or if the winning bidder doesn’t pay quick enough, or relist until all available inventory is sold.
Watchlists & Reminders
Allow you shoppers to add auction items to their watchlist so they can monitor the bidding progress and receive notices when an auction is ending soon.
Offers
If a winning bidder doesn’t pay you can easily remove them and offer the item to the next highest bidder.

WooCommerce Auctions Pro lets you run WordPress auctions quickly and easily. The current version of the plugin lets you run typical auctions, very similar to how auctions are conducted at eBay.
For example, add a product, add your pictures, set the item condition, starting bid, minimum bid increment, auction end date and time, define your shipping and return policies, and publish the auction. That’s all there is to it.
If you also want to include a “Buy it Now” option for the auction, simply check the corresponding box in the auctions settings and you’re done – shoppers can add the item to the cart and directly bypass the bidding process.
When viewing an auction, shoppers see a live, realtime countdown timer showing them exactly how much time remains before the auction is over. Bidders can enter a maximum bid amount and have their bids automatically increment ( up to the maximum ) when another person tries to outbid them — just like eBay. Or if you don’t want automatic bidding you can disable automatic bidding on a per-auction basis. When an auction ends the bidding is immediately closed and buyers are notified to make payment via on-screen messages and via email. And if buyers don’t pay promptly, a payment reminder message can be sent automatically.
With WooCommerce Auctions Pro you can accept payments with over 120 different payment gateways and handle shipping via all major shipping carriers using any of the available shipping add-ons plugin for WooComnerce.
Shoppers enjoy the ability to add auctions to their watchlists ( similar to eBay ) and can quickly review all of their bids and auctions that they’ve won on their My Account page.
