Bidvana adds a true auction product type to WooCommerce. Create an auction in under a minute: set a starting price, a bid increment, and start/end times — Bidvana handles everything else, from live bidding to getting the winner paid.
Everything you need to run auctions — free
- Auction product type — a first-class WooCommerce product type, right in the product editor.
- Live bidding — visitors bid without reloading the page; the current bid, bid count, and history update in real time.
- Countdown timers — a clear, urgent countdown on every auction, synced to the server clock (no timezone bugs).
- Anti-sniping — last-second bids automatically extend the auction (window and extension are configurable), so auctions end fairly.
- Outbid email alerts — outbid bidders get an email with a link back to the auction. Higher engagement, higher final prices.
- Winner checkout — when the auction ends, the winner gets an email with a checkout link, and only the winner can buy the item, at exactly their winning bid. Standard WooCommerce orders, any payment gateway.
- Bid history — anonymized public bid history on the product page (“j*****n — $42.00 — 3 mins ago”).
- Admin bids screen — every bid across all auctions with bidder name and email, filterable per auction (WooCommerce Auction Bids).
- Live auction badges — auctions are highlighted on your shop grid.
[bidvana_auctions]shortcode — a grid of your auctions, soonest-ending first, for any page.- No external services — everything runs on your site. No accounts, no API keys, no per-auction fees.
How it works
- Products Add New choose Auction as the product type.
- On the Auction tab set starting price, bid increment (optional), and start/end date & time.
- Publish. Logged-in customers bid; guests are prompted to log in.
- When time runs out, Bidvana picks the highest bidder, emails them a payment link, and locks purchase to the winner. Once they pay, the auction is marked sold.
Great for
- Collectibles, art, and one-of-a-kind items
- Charity and fundraising auctions
- Liquidation / clearance of returned and open-box stock
- Estate sales, vehicles, equipment
- Domain names, memorabilia, sneakers, trading cards

FAQ
Do bidders need an account?
Yes — bidding requires a (free) customer account so winners can pay and outbid notices can be sent. Guests see a “Log in to bid” button. Enable registration under WooCommerce Settings Accounts.
What happens if two people bid at the same time?
Every bid is recorded; the highest amount wins. If your bid is beaten while you type, Bidvana tells you the new minimum instead of accepting a stale bid.
What is anti-sniping?
If someone bids inside the final window (default: last 2 minutes), the auction end automatically moves out (default: +2 minutes) so others can respond. Configure or disable it under WooCommerce Settings Products Auctions.
How does the winner pay?
The winner receives an email with a checkout link, and the product page shows them a “Pay now” button. The item is priced at their winning bid and goes through normal WooCommerce checkout — any gateway, taxes and shipping included. Nobody else can add it to the cart.
Does it work with my theme?
Bidvana renders through standard WooCommerce hooks and templates, so it works with any theme that supports WooCommerce, including block themes.
Does it slow my site down?
No. Assets load only on auction pages, and live updates are lightweight polling (one small request every 8 seconds while an auction page is open).
Can I relist an auction that got no bids?
Yes — edit the product and set a new end date; it goes live again automatically.
