This premium theme is by far the best and most popular wordpress auction and reverse auction theme on the internet available at this date. The Auction Theme has many features and comes with rock solid and well written code. These facts make the Auction Theme the best and the most desirable wordpress theme (wordpress app) for starting an auction website on the market. Also our auction theme comes with responsive design, and looks and works fine on mobile phones and tablets (iphone, android, tablets, ipads, nokia, and everything).
It comes with a comprehensive back-end, packed with a lot of features, for the auction posters as well as for the auction bidders, multiple payment gateways and tight wordpress integration. Launch your own auction website in minutes, with a few mouse clicks.
Also the Auction Theme can be used as a marketplace theme. For example you can set this theme to only sell “buy now” products and get your own real market website or launch an online silent auction service . It can also work with digital goods (upon request, please contact us).
Find out more about the auction theme by visiting the demo, by reading the list of features displayed on this page, by reading the most frequently asked questions page or by contacting us. Our wordpress auction app or wordpress auction script is a real turn-key solution for small and big businesses.
Auctions are wordpress custom posts and is very easy to add new auctions from wordpress admin, assign categories, choose, the auction mode, assign tags, set reserve price, buy now price, etc.
The theme supports multiple common auction tools, like a start price, a buy now price, a reserve price feature and many more. Bidding the auctions is easy for your users, they just have to signup an account on your site. Also the theme supports silent auctions and also preventing last time bidding by adding extra seconds if users bid at the last minute.
Our theme is plug and play and you dont need any extra plugins or other scripts to run your auction website. Also the installation process is very simple: you just use the wordpress installer and upload the theme archive file and you are ready.
We offer you unlimited access to future updates, for the first year, and then a small 19$ fee after the first year to get updates and support for 1 more year. This fee is optional, but we think its worth, since it helps us to keep this theme up to date as we are doing for more than 9 years now.

Help & Documentation
Our theme works well on any kind of device. From desktop computers, laptops, to tablets, smartphones, and any type of phones. The theme design will stretch our or shrink automatically to fit your screen size and device.
Each user has its own profile with all posted auctions, received feedback’s and stats about their activity. This part also can be considered similar to eBay type of shops, where a visitor of the website can check every listed or sold item of the respective user.
Buyers and sellers rate each other after each completed item purchase and each user has his own general feedback for the other users to see. Then the rating of each user is displayed next to their username by little 5 star rating icons.
Set the max and min number of days for each auction to run live. After the time expires the winner is chosen depending on the auction mode (normal, reverse, freebid).
Users buy virtual cash and use the cash to pay for the won auctions, to bid auctions, or to post new auctions. Users can pay for the jobs with the credit and the paid members can withdraw the amount they earned.
The Auction Theme has Google Maps with Street View feature fully integrated so you can track the auctions locations. Also Google Analytics is also supported and fully integrated, just paste your tracking code.
Another great feature of our theme is that your users can search for an item based on an address, or zip/post code, and on a given radius (miles or km). This feature is based on Google’s geo coordinates and results display on a map in the search page.
The theme comes with a 5 star rating system for the users that buy and sell. Each user has his own profile with all their received ratings. Similar to ebay rating system.
Another great feature of the theme is the escrow feature. Safe payment between users, and a more secure way to control the credits/funds in your site. More info about what an escrow means.
You do not need any special payment integration, as the theme has already a payment system integrated. Currently it supports PayPal, PayPal Adaptive, Payza, Moneybookers / Skrill, iDeal (Dutch), iDeal Mollie, Sisow, Payfast, Quickpay and Authorize.net, but we can offer services to custom integrate any other payment gateway.
PayPal payment system is one of the most used payment systems in the world. Our theme also supports the new PayPal Adaptive and Chained Payments. Very easy to use, just put your PayPal email address in the back end and start collecting payments.
The Auction Theme comes with automatic bidding feature as well. So if you customers want to set a maximum bid value, then the auction system will bid for them until the max bid is reached, so they are in total control all the time. The increase bid value is configurable from admin side and is based on current price. This feature is also called by people: proxy bidding.
With the Auction Theme you can charge a percent fee out of each auction/item that is sold in your website. This can be taken directly through PayPal (using chained payments) or through the credits system, or maybe through some other payment method that we can integrate. This is a great monetization tool for increasing the profits of your website.
Several monetization tools can be used to make money our of your site build with the help of our Auction Theme. The main monetization ways are: charging listing fees, featured listing fees, charging a percent or fixed fee out of each sale, and membership fees.
Your posted auctions will have the make offer feature. So after posting an auction the bidders can offer you a lower price than the buy now price. As an answer you can accept the offer, reject it, or offer a counter offer. At that point the potential buyer can accept or reject this counter offer.
This tool will help your user to better communicate through a safe system without revealing each others personal information, and keep all activity under your website and you in control.
Your users are in total control, they can relist closed auctions, delete or close active auctions and edit their current auctions, changing the pictures, title, description and custom fields.

You can add custom fields from back-end, like text-fields, text-areas, select boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes. Everything is supported and the custom fields can be created based on category.
