YITH Auctions for WooCommerce Premium

YITH Auctions for WooCommerce Premium is a WordPress plugin that brings an auction system similar to eBay to your WooCommerce store. You can set a start price, a reserve price, and a buy now price for each auction, and choose whether bids are placed manually or raised automatically. The plugin also supports reversed auctions, secret auctions, sign-up fees, and countdown timers.

Key Features

• Start, reserve, buy now prices – For each auction you can define a starting price, a reserve price that is the minimum you will accept, and a buy now price for immediate purchase.
• Manual or automatic bids – You decide per auction whether users bid manually or enter a maximum amount so the system raises bids automatically up to that limit.
• Reversed auctions – Besides standard auctions where the highest bid wins, you can create reversed auctions where the lowest bid wins.
• Secret auctions – Mark an auction as secret to hide the bids placed so far from other users.
• Sign-up fee – You can require users to pay a fee before placing a bid, redirecting them to checkout for payment.
• Winner commission – Since version 3.0 you can add an extra commission for the auction winner to cover side costs, shown on the product page or at checkout.
• Countdown layouts – Choose from four countdown styles to show when the auction ends, customize colors, or show only the end date.
• Watchlist – Enable a watchlist so users can follow auctions they are interested in through a widget or their account.

Who Is It For

This plugin is for WooCommerce store owners who want to sell products through an auction model similar to eBay. It suits shops offering unique, custom, or out-of-stock items where competition and scarcity can drive interest. Stores already using YITH plugins or WooCommerce Multi Vendor may find it relevant for building an auction portal.
