WooCommerce Simple Auctions v3.0.9

WooCommerce Simple Auctions (developed by wpgenie) is one of the oldest, most popular, and most cost-effective auction plugins for WordPress. This plugin transforms your WooCommerce store into a professional online auction site similar to eBay, allowing you to run both regular sales and auctions simultaneously.

Support auction formats

• Regular auction: The highest bidder at the end of the time limit wins. Reverse auction: The lowest bidder receives the project/unit (suitable for contractor and service search platforms).
• Secret auction: Participants bid secretly; no one knows whose bid is used until the auction ends.
• Automated auction: Buyers simply enter their maximum bid; the system automatically increases the price little by little to maintain the lead.

Anti-Dumping & Advanced Management Features

• Credit Card Verification Before Auction: Starting with version v3.0 and above, you can configure only accounts with linked credit/debit cards (via Stripe) to participate in auctions. This feature completely eliminates “fake bids” from spam accounts.
• Automatic Deduction from Winners (Automatic Fee Calculation): When the countdown ends, the system will automatically create an order and deduct the money directly from the winner’s card.
• Anti-Last-Minute Bidding (Anti-Last-Minute Bidding): If a bid is placed in the last few seconds, the system will automatically extend the time (e.g., by 30 seconds or 1 minute) to ensure the winning bid is credited to earlier participants.
• Buy Now (Buy Now): Allows setting a fixed price; if the customer accepts this price, the auction will stop and they will always own the product.
