Custom Auction House WooCommerce Theme
Buy-now lots, bidder deposits and sale calendars for auctioneers
Every sale leaves something behind: the lots that passed, the winning bidder who never came back and the three boxes of Pyrex nobody wanted on a rainy Thursday. A custom auction house WooCommerce theme from Foxco gives those leftovers a buy-now shop between sales, takes bidder registrations with refundable deposits for the big catalogs and keeps every upcoming auction on a calendar with its preview photos. Because it runs on WordPress on your own hosting, the buyer list you spent years building stays yours and no platform skims a cut on top of your premium. It's $999 installed and configured, which is less than the commission on a good estate sideboard.

Auction House theme questions
Is this an off-the-shelf auction template?
No. It's custom: designed around how your auction house runs its sales and built with your brand, your catalog structure and your consignment pages.
When could it be live?
Usually 7-10 days after we have your logo, photos and the first catalog. If your next sale is close, rush jobs depend on our bandwidth that week.
Can bidders place bids online?
Catalogs, registration, deposits and buy-now sales are built in. Timed online bidding can be added with a paid WooCommerce auction extension, billed by its maker. Live webcast bidding is scoped as a custom project.
Can I charge a buyer's premium on buy-now items?
Yes. The premium can be built into each listed price or added as a fee line at checkout, whichever matches how your terms read.
Those passed lots and no-show bidders cost more than warehouse space; they're money sitting on shelves until the next sale date. A store that runs between auctions turns them back into cash and gives bidders a reason to check in every week.
A buy-now shop for the leftovers
Each item gets its lot number, photos, condition notes and a fixed price. Buyers pay with Stripe or PayPal and pick a warehouse pickup window or a shipping option you control. Once something sells it drops off the shop on its own, which beats taping a sold sign to a box of glassware and hoping the next caller notices.
Registration and deposits before sale day
High-value catalogs go smoother when every bidder is vetted before the gavel comes down. The registration form collects contact details and ID, then takes a refundable deposit at checkout so you know who's serious. Timed online bidding can be layered on with a paid WooCommerce auction extension and live webcast bidding is scoped as its own custom project, depending on how your sales run.
Results that pull in consignors
Consignors want proof before they hand over an estate, so a prices realized archive shows what your past sales brought, sorted by category. Foxco builds the archive and the shop to share one catalog, which keeps you from entering a lot twice. Our microagency also means a whole team covers your launch, so a big estate sale never waits on one freelancer's calendar.
