Objective

To develop a custom buyer membership and bidding credit system that seamlessly integrates with your existing auction theme.
This system will allow buyers to purchase bidding packages, manage their credits, and participate in auctions efficiently — while giving the admin full control over package management, credit tracking, and payment processing.
The goal is to create a stable, scalable, and future-proof solution that removes dependency on third-party plugins like HivePress and provides a smooth user experience for both buyers and administrators.

Scope of Work

1. System Architecture & Setup

• Design the database structure for storing user bid credits, package details, and transaction history.
• Integrate the new system seamlessly with the existing auction and WooCommerce setup.
• Add a global settings panel under the admin menu for enabling/disabling the system and managing global options like credit expiry duration.

2. Admin Dashboard

• Create a dedicated “Bid Credits” admin page to:
  • View all users’ available and used credits.
  • Track package purchase and usage history.
  • Manually add, deduct, or reset user credits.
• Provide filters and search options for easy management.
• Add capability to export credit reports if required (optional future extension).

3. Package Creation & Management

• Build a custom Gutenberg block for adding and displaying bidding packages.
  • Fields include: Title, Description, Icon/Image, Price, Credit Value, Linked WooCommerce Product.
• Allow easy placement of packages on any page using Gutenberg.

7. Bidding Logic Integration

  • Deduct bid credits when a user places a bid.
  • Prevent bidding if insufficient credits are available.
  • Automatically release unused credits back to non-winning bidders when the auction ends.

  • Package purchase flow
  • Credit addition and deduction

Customer Requirement

The client requires a feature within the auction system to handle scenarios where an auction ends without a winning bidder. The main requirement is that unsold auction items should not remain inactive but instead be moved into a “Buy Now” category, allowing them to still be available for purchase by interested buyers.

🔹 Key Features & Tasks

1. When an auction ends without a winner, The item must transition to a “Buy Now” format, either automatically or manually, to maximize the chances of sale.
2. Sellers should have flexibility in deciding how the item should be handled after the auction ends (automatic vs manual control).
3. The system should provide a smooth, seller-friendly process to manage this flow without requiring complex steps.

Design & Development

• Implementation Options : To fulfill the requirement of moving unsold auction items to a “Buy Now” category, we propose two implementation approaches. Each option provides different levels of automation and seller control:

• Automatic Move to Buy Now
  • During auction item creation, the seller is presented with an additional checkbox: “After auction end, if the item is not sold, automatically list with Buy Now price.”
  • If this option is selected, the system will automatically transfer the item to the “Buy Now” category once the auction ends without a winning bidder.
  • The item will retain the Buy Now price defined at the time of auction listing 
  • This approach minimizes manual intervention and ensures that items are continuously available for purchase.

Estimated Effort for all pages = 13 hours

• Manual Move to Buy Now
  
  • Once an auction ends without a winner, the seller will have the option to manually move the item into the “Buy Now” category.
  • The seller can access this option via their dashboard under the auction management section.
  • This approach provides the seller with full control over what happens after the auction ends, while still enabling the item to be resold quickly.

Estimated Effort for all pages = 8 hours
