Woo Auction Software Pro Plugin is a full-featured, powerful auction plugin to setup a professional auction website on WordPress. Supports a wide variety of auction types: Forward, Reverse, Penny Auctions. If you are wondering how to create a site like eBay, look no further. You can use this WordPress auction plugin to set up a multi-vendor marketplace, with e-Bay style auctions.
Forward auctions are simple auctions where bidders place their bids in set increments. The highest bidder wins the auction and buys the item at this highest bid price.
The Woo Auction Software WordPress plugin comes with the following features for forward auctions:
- Customize every auction item by setting a start price and bid increments.
- Schedule auctions to run from a fixed start and end date.
- Prevent auctions from ending pre-maturely by setting a custom reserve price.
- Set a buy-it-now price for buyers who want to purchase an auction item without bidding on it.
In reverse auctions the buyer and seller roles are reversed. In this auction, sellers or vendors compete to get business from the buyer. Bids typically decrease as sellers compete to underbid each other.
The Woo Auction Software WordPress plugin comes with the following features for reverse auctions:
- Customize every auction item by setting a start price and bid decrements.
- Schedule auctions to run from a fixed start and end date.
- Prevent auctions from ending pre-maturely by setting a custom reserve price.
- Set a buy-it-now price for sellers who want to win business without bidding.
In a penny auction (also known as bidding fee auction), all participants purchase pre-paid bids. They then bid using these pre-paid bids. Penny auctions are automatically extended by a small period (10-20 seconds) everytime someone bids on it.
