Description

Ibid transforms WordPress into a multi-vendor auction platform, combining WooCommerce with Dokan to host real-time bidding, reverse auctions, and direct sales in a single storefront shared by multiple sellers. Designed for those operating eBay-style marketplaces, the theme centralizes seller registration, automatic commission collection, and individual seller dashboards, with ready-made layouts for auction, antique, and exclusive product websites.

Main Features

  • Integrated auction system
    Enables real-time bidding, reverse auctions, and private offers on WooCommerce.
  • Compatibility with Dokan
    Allows multiple sellers to list products and manage orders through their own dashboards.
  • Independent seller dashboard
    Each seller controls inventory, orders, active auctions, and reports without accessing the WP admin.
  • Automatic commission collection
    Calculates and retains the administrator’s percentage from each sale completed in the storefront.
  • Marketplace-ready storefront
    Includes a product page with bidding, search filters, a public seller profile, and a review section.

Benefits of Ibid

  • Quick auction marketplace creation
    Combines theme, auction, and multi-vendor functionality in a single package, eliminating the need for manual plugin integration.
  • Scalable commission revenue
    The site operator profits from every transaction completed by registered sellers.
  • Seller autonomy
    Each seller operates their own store within the platform without relying on the central administrator.
  • Engagement through live bidding
    The real-time auction flow keeps visitors engaged and encourages bidding wars until the lot closes.

Who Is It For?

  • Entrepreneurs who want to build an eBay-style auction marketplace.
  • Auction houses and collectors who sell antiques, art, and rare items online.
  • Agencies and developers hired to deliver multi-vendor platforms with payment and commission functionality.

Ibid stands out by bringing together, in a single WordPress theme, the marketplace’s visual structure, the auction engine, and Dokan’s multi-vendor layer, three components that would normally require costly integration between independent plugins. The result is a platform ready to onboard sellers, process bids, and collect commissions without requiring the operator to code marketplace rules from scratch.
