Version 1.3.0 Update
Enterprise-Grade Auctions. Zero SaaS Fees.
The Web Vine WooCommerce Auction Engine turns your existing WooCommerce store into a serious bidding platform. It uses a dedicated custom MySQL bid table, SQL row-locking, live AJAX updates, automated winner order creation, anti-sniping, proxy bidding, sealed bidding, watchlists, and native WooCommerce account integration without forcing a marketplace plugin stack.
What Makes This Different
Many auction plugins force everything through generic WordPress post meta, heavy vendor dependencies, or external marketplace workflows. This engine keeps the auction logic native to WooCommerce while giving bidding its own purpose-built structure. That means cleaner product pages, faster bid handling, stronger checkout flow, and fewer moving parts.
Custom Bid Table
Bids are stored in a dedicated indexed table instead of being buried in post meta. This keeps bid history cleaner and faster to query.
SQL Row-Locking
Locking protection helps prevent race-condition bidding conflicts when multiple bidders submit at nearly the same time.
WooCommerce-Native Checkout
Winners are routed through normal WooCommerce order and payment flows, so your store keeps its existing gateways and order management.
New in v1.3.0
Proxy / Automatic Max Bidding
Let bidders enter the maximum they are willing to pay. The system can automatically keep them competitive based on the current bid and increment.
Sealed Private Bids
Run sealed auctions where the active high bid is not publicly exposed while bidding is open.
Bid Display Modes
Choose public, anonymous, or private bidder display depending on the auction type and customer privacy needs.
Watchlists
Logged-in users can save auctions to a watchlist and return later through the included watchlist shortcode.
Approved & Blocked Bidders
Run invite-only auctions, restrict special lots, or block problem bidders using user IDs or email addresses.
CSV Bid Exports
Export bid history for records, reporting, disputes, accounting, or client review.
Configurable Anti-Sniping
Set the trigger window and extension duration instead of being locked into one hard-coded anti-snipe rule.
Auction Listing Shortcodes
Build auction pages with [wvs_auction_list] and user watchlist pages with [wvs_auction_watchlist].
Bridge-Ready Hooks
Includes collector/card hooks for adding graded card data, certification links, pop reports, or custom metadata to auction pages.
Core Auction Features
- Live AJAX bidding: current bid, bid history, countdowns, and user state update without manual refreshes.
- Outbid and winning states: bidders can see if they are winning, outbid, lost, or need to pay.
- Automated winner orders: when an auction closes, the engine can create a pending WooCommerce order for the winner.
- My Account integration: customers get an Auctions tab for bid activity, won auctions, and payment links.
- Quick reopen tools: reopen auctions safely when needed and cancel unfinished winner orders.
- Per-auction custom CSS: style individual auction blocks without editing the plugin core.
- No forced vendor stack: no WCFM, Dokan, WC Vendors, eBay feed dependency, or external marketplace requirement.
