Ultimate Auction Pro Plugin adds auction workflows to an existing WordPress or WooCommerce site. Its paid capabilities cover bidding formats, schedules, payment collection and controls for auction listings.

Set bidding rules and timing

Automatic or proxy bidding lets the system manage bids on a visitor’s behalf. Silent auctions provide another format, while reverse bidding supports scenarios where lower bids are preferred. Set different increments for auction products and add a buyer’s premium to the process.

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

Payments and auction listings

• Collect credit card details and automatically debit the winning amount.
• Relist expired auctions automatically or manually.
• Import multiple auction entries in bulk and delete user bids.
• Use widgets to show expired and future auctions.
• Run auction workflows for virtual products.

Marketplace and site management

WCFM Marketplace support lets marketplace participants add auction listings. SMS notifications can keep customers informed during the auction process, and custom emails allow site owners to adjust auction-related messages.

Shortcodes and filters provide ways to place or adapt auction content across a website. The extension is compatible with WPML and LocoTranslate for multilingual site workflows.

Configure an auction workflow

After installation on a WordPress or WooCommerce site, configure the auction options for the intended workflow. Add or import auction products, set bid increments and dates, select a bidding format, then configure payment, notification, relisting and display options before publishing.
