Auction Factory - the ultimative Auction System for Joomla.

Auction Factory supports all common auction types including also Proxy Bidding. Auctions are supporting the usual Bids and BuyItNow features. Also they can be set as Private (bids are hidden to the public) or Public (bids are showed to the public). Among other options there is also the possibility to set up a auction as Automatic (winner will be automatically choosen) or Manual (the offertant will have to choose a winner).

The component is provided with an installation kit; by performing the easy setup you will have in minutes a fully functional Auction Site. Also an update script which leaves all templates and settings intact. You update by just installing in the Joomla backend.

The interface is very user friendly and you can track easily auctions and bids. In the backend panel, various administration features have been provided in order that the site admin can easily maintain control of the site and survey the auctions and bids. As payment methods PayPal and Moneebookers can be used or due to API webmasters can configure their own payment gateway.

This component has a full Community Builder integration including a Plugin pack (5 Plugins!)

Auction Factory is fully SEF!
