详情介绍:
Bidra Auctions for WooCommerce adds a complete auction product type to your WooCommerce store. Create a listing, set a start price and an end time, and let your customers bid against each other. When the clock runs out the plugin picks the winner, emails them a payment link, and hands the order over to your normal WooCommerce checkout.
It is built in the WooCommerce way: auctions are real products, so your themes, payment gateways, shipping rules, taxes and reports all keep working exactly as they do today.
Support
Everything you need to run an auction
- Auction product type — a first-class WooCommerce product type, right next to Simple and Variable.
- Start price and bid increment — decide where bidding opens and how much each new bid must add.
- Reserve price — set a hidden minimum. Bidders see whether the reserve is met, never the amount. An auction that ends below its reserve does not sell.
- Buy It Now — let an impatient buyer skip the auction entirely, and optionally withdraw the option once bidding starts.
- Scheduled start and end times — line up auctions in advance and let them open and close on their own.
- Automatic winner selection — when an auction ends, the highest bidder wins and is emailed a link to pay.
- Winner-only checkout — nobody but the winning bidder can buy a finished auction.
- Live countdown timer on the auction page and, optionally, throughout your shop.
- Live bid updates — the current bid and bid count refresh without a page reload, and pause while the tab is in the background.
- Bid history tab with every bid, the highest bid highlighted, and optional name masking for privacy.
- Watchlist — customers save the auctions they care about and find them again under My Account.
- Clear bidding states — "you are winning", "you have been outbid" and "you won" are always visible.
- My Account → Auctions with My bids, Winning, Won and Watchlist views, plus a pay-now button.
- New bid placed (to you)
- You have been outbid (to the previous highest bidder)
- You won the auction (to the winner, with a payment link)
- Auction finished (to you)
- Auction did not sell (to you)
- WooCommerce → Auctions with Bids, Winners and Settings tabs.
- A searchable, sortable table of every bid ever placed, with single and bulk delete. Deleting a bid recalculates the auction from the bids that remain.
- A winners table showing who won what, for how much, and whether they have paid.
- Auction status column and a "filter by auction status" dropdown on the Products screen.
[bafw_auctions]— an auction grid.

安装:
Requirements
- WordPress 6.2 or newer

- In the Product data dropdown, choose Auction.
- Open the new Auction tab and fill in the fields:
- Item condition — optional label shown to bidders on the auction page.
- Start price — the lowest amount the first bid may be.
- Bid increment — the minimum amount each new bid must add to the current bid. Defaults to 1 when left empty.
- Reserve price — optional hidden minimum. Bidders are told only whether the reserve has been met. An auction that ends below its reserve does not sell.
- Buy It Now price — optional. Lets a buyer purchase immediately at this price. Leave empty to disable Buy It Now.
- Auction starts — when bidding opens. Leave empty to start immediately.
- Auction ends — when bidding closes and the highest bidder wins. Both dates use your site timezone.
- Publish the product.
- Create a page — for example "Auctions" — and add the
[bafw_auctions]shortcode to it. - Publish the page, then select it under WooCommerce → Auctions → Settings → Auctions page.
- Auctions page — the page that lists your auctions (the page holding the
[bafw_auctions]shortcode). - Finished auctions — show or hide closed auctions on the shop and category pages.
- Scheduled auctions — let shoppers preview auctions that have not opened yet.
- Shop page — keep auctions off the main shop page so they are not mixed with regular products. They stay available on their own page, on category pages and through the shortcodes.
- Maximum bid amount — the highest amount a single bid may be, to catch mistyped bids. Leave empty for no limit.
- Buy It Now — keep Buy It Now available after bidding has started, or withdraw it with the first bid.
- Raising your own bid — allow or block the current highest bidder from bidding against themselves.
- Bidder privacy — mask bidder names in the public bid history, for example
B*******e. - Watchlist — let customers save auctions to a watchlist under My Account.
- Countdown in product lists — show the countdown timer on shop and category pages as well as on the product page.
- Live bid updates — refresh the current bid without reloading the page.
- Update interval — how often the browser checks for a new bid (minimum 5 seconds). Longer intervals mean less load on your server.
- Remove data on uninstall — delete all auction data when the plugin is deleted. Off by default.
- WooCommerce → Auctions → Bids — every bid ever placed, searchable and sortable, with single and bulk delete. Deleting a bid recalculates the auction from the bids that remain.
- WooCommerce → Auctions → Winners — who won what, for how much, and whether they have paid.
- Products — an auction status column and a "filter by auction status" dropdown.
- My Account → Auctions — where your customers follow their own bids, wins and watchlist, and pay for an auction they have won.

常见问题:
Does this work with my theme?
Yes. Auctions are ordinary WooCommerce products, so they use your theme's product templates. Every piece of auction markup lives in an overridable template under templates/, which you can copy into yourtheme/woocommerce/ and restyle.
What happens when an auction ends?
A background task runs every minute and closes auctions whose end time has passed. The highest bidder becomes the winner and receives an email with a link to pay. If nobody bid, or the reserve price was not met, the auction is marked as unsold and you are notified instead.
What if WP-Cron is unreliable on my host?
The plugin also checks an auction's state whenever its page is viewed or its live bid data is requested, so an auction always shows the correct status to a visitor even if the scheduled task is delayed.
Can somebody else buy an auction that I won?
No. Once an auction closes, only the winning bidder can add it to the cart and check out.
Can the reserve price be seen by bidders?
No. Bidders are told only whether the reserve has been met.
Can I hide bidder names?
Yes. Enable Bidder privacy under WooCommerce → Auctions → Settings and names appear as the first and last character only, for example B*******e.
Can I bid on my own auction?
No. Self bidding inflates the price artificially and is blocked by default. Developers can change this with the bafw_can_bid_on_own_auction filter.
Does the plugin support automatic (proxy) bidding?
Automatic bidding, reverse auctions, sealed-bid auctions, anti-sniping auto-extend and automatic relisting are part of the Pro add-on. The free plugin covers standard ascending auctions end to end.
Will my data be deleted if I remove the plugin?
Only if you ask for it. Enable Remove data on uninstall in the settings before deleting the plugin, and the bid history, settings and auction meta are removed. Otherwise everything is left untouched.
