Ultimate Auction Pro Plugin adds auction workflows to an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site. Choose proxy bidding, where the system manages bids on a user’s behalf; silent auctions; or reverse bidding for scenarios where lower bids are preferred. Variable increments let you set various bid steps for auction products.

Configure auction timing and payments

Schedule future auctions and manage timed activity. Soft-close bidding extends an auction to address last-second bids through an anti-sniping feature. Live bidding shows new activity without requiring visitors to refresh the page.

The credit card collection option collects card details and automatically debits the winning amount. You can also add a buyer’s premium to the auction process.

Manage listings and store activity

Marketplace participants can add auctions through WCFM Marketplace, and virtual product support enables auctions for items that are not physical goods. Bulk import can bring multiple auction entries into the site. Expired auctions can be relisted automatically or manually, and administrators can delete user bids. Widgets for expired and future auctions can display relevant activity in widget areas.

SMS notifications keep visitors informed during the auction process. Custom emails let website owners adjust auction messages, while shortcodes and filters provide ways to place or adapt auction content. The extension is compatible with WPML and LocoTranslate for multilingual site workflows.

Prepare an auction for publication

Install the Pro plugin on an existing WordPress or WooCommerce website. Configure auction options, add or import auction products, set bid increments and dates, and pick the bidding format. Before publishing, configure payment, notification, relisting, and display options to match the auction workflow.
