How to Download Simple Auctions

Simple Auctions is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate it. After activation, configure the feature within the already installed Dokan environment.

Simple Auctions adds an auction layer to the Dokan ecosystem without moving product listings to another system.
