Hello,
We need to make a website for people sell 3D files online (Digital).
We need:
1- Seller upload they files on Amazon S3 server
2- Users could be seller/Buyer at the same time
3- They upload demo images/tags/additional file info
4- Seller have they dashboard for manage files
5- Customers have they dashboard for purchase history/re-download already purchases
6- have refund system
7- Website moderators could control published files for deny publish/accept/remove and manage
And options for these type of ecommerce websites.
Your theme contain these options? thank you.

Hello,

1. With the WCFM multivendor plugin, you can either add a product with the option to be “Downloadable” and upload the file directly as a Media file, or have a product that is External. With this second option, the link to the file is set manually but the purchase is made from the external website, as well.

2. Yes, vendors can sell and purchase products at the same time.

3. They can edit products and add images, description, etc. like for a normal product.

4.They can do this from their Vendor Dashboard.

5. These informations are available in their My Account.

6. Refunds can only be made manually by an administrator who can cancel a customers order.

7. The administrator can manage and edit other vendors published products. Also, there are options for products to be reviewed by an admin before getting published on the website.

Regards !

Hello

Pre-sales question.

I want customers or potential buyers so to speak to be able to leave comments under each vehicle being auctioned as in a website like this https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2012-lexus-lfa-4/ on Bring a trailer.

I would also require a No Reserve, Classic, JDM and Exclusive also if the template can do that

Can this be implemented?

My customers love this and I want it on my auction site.

I like what I see by the way and am ready to buy if this can be done. If it requires custom work we can also talk.

Hi and thank you for being interested in our auctions & shop theme

1. You can enable a comments section (a new tab) by using a plugin such as this one (free).

2. No Reserve, Classic: these two features exist on iBid. We need more details on these two JDM and Exclusive.

Hi,

  • Video for WCFM Marketplace – link.
  • Video for Dokan Marketplace – link.

Hi there we purchased you Theme and are so far very happy with it. Since we are editing the Product single page as for our needs we are struggling finding a way to edit the code of the “Featured Action” widget in order to display the infos on our individual product template that we a creating with WP Bakery.

Can you tell us where we can find that code or suggest a better idea to display the auction information like: Starting / Ending Date, Pricing, add bid and so on.

We do not find the standard widget in wpbakery to display this info. The Woocommerce default widgets / modules are not providing that also.

We appreciate your support.

Can you confirm if your theme provides all these features?

2. Auctions restricted to suppliers selected by the company, at the time of creation of each auction
3. Each supplier only sees the auctions they have been assigned
4. Organize products/auctions by categories

AUCTION RULES
5. After the company creates the auction and identifies the suppliers with access permission, they receive a notification via email
6. Only open auctions remain visible; the finished ones disappear
7. Minimum volumes and bids (decimal place cent, euro)
8. The bids are for lower values (not higher as usual) – whoever offers less wins
9. Depending on the auction, give the option to show the price visible or not
10. Depending on the auction, give the option to show the bidding history or not
11. Depending on the auction, give the option to show the bidding history with the name of the bidder or not

Hello I am planning to use a theme on my project I you provide customization to add a function to it such that the bid increments rates increases as more bidders make a bid.

i.e. if 10 users made a bid, with an incremental bid rate of 50usd, after the 10th bidder the rate should increase to may be 100usd ( for example if the 10th bidder could bid say 500usd which the 9th bidder bid 450usd, the subsequent bidder, 11th bidder can only bid 600usd and above not 550usd)

Hi,

Yes, we also do theme customization. You can ask for an estimate via this form https://modeltheme.com/theme-customization

Regards!

Im interest in Freelance theme, but I would like to know – If I bid win, how do I charge the project owner?? Any payment method or payment link for this new theme?

Hi and thanks for asking! The freelancer mode is a quick start solution for a freelancing website (the payment can be made separately or by implementing a switch service author customization). The switch author will basically transform the author of the auction (service) in customer and vice-versa.

This way the initial author will become a customer and will pay for the service.

Contact us to get an estimate for this implementation, via https://modeltheme.com/theme-customization

I’M TOTALLY FED UP WITH DEVELOPERS WHO DON’T SUPPLY A DECENT MANUAL WITH THEIR THEMES !!

Why do people have to contact support to setup an auction while this SHOULD BE in a manual? It’s BASIC INFORMATION GUYS !

This theme is just an add-on for the Woocommerce shop. You can’t even exclude products from the setup. Since I don’t want the website to be selling products, I don’t want users to see the possibility to select products to sell. I only want auctions and since this is an auction theme you should be able to exclude the option to sell products.

Besides that, I noticed that vendors have to register with a shop name and a shop URL. WHY? When private people want to create an auction this is not allowed/possible?

Last remark: I imported demo and there is already an auctions page but it only says [recent_auctions]. No clue how to setup everything and again: there is NO MANUAL to explain how to work with those shortcodes. ModelTheme says to contact their support. This is amateurism.

I am NOT happy with this theme at all and it’s been a total waste of money.

Hi again,

As mentioned in my reply to your other 2-3 comments (on the same topic), you are asking for theme/plugin customizations to be included in the theme (package/on in the options panel) – I sincerely don’t understand why this angry comments and negative without understanding how WooCommerce / the Marketplace plugin / the theme works.

Why do I say this? You are asking for two features that are not available in any woocommerce store / or in the settings of our theme / the marketplace plugin (in your case, Dokan).

  1. Private stores on the marketplace plugin – this feature doesn’t exist.
  2. Disabling post types while submitting products – (first of all you didn’t ask us via support – maybe our help agents would help you with some extra coding to disable other product types).

This being said, why being so angry for non-existing functionalities?

On the other hand, take a look at the main theme banner -> screen capture: we already mention that you can add both products and auctions. So far nobody asked to have the other post types disabled. So, why introducing such a feature, when only 1 from 1400+ customers asks for it?

Regarding the visible shortcode “[recent_auctions]”, most probably you didn’t install all of the necessary plugins. In such situations we require admin access in order to look into: Trust me, each situation is different and we have to look into the problem to be able to provide solutions.

If you wish to continue using the theme we will be here waiting to help you, at any time 

Even if your support period is EXPIRED, we will help you for free (so let’s discuss via email).

Thanks!

Why does a vendor need to register with a name of a shop and an URL to a shop page? I want private people to be able to setup auctions without having a shop themselves.

Hi,

First of all the vendor registration is functionality that comes from a 3rd party plugin (such as WCFM or Dokan – depending on which marketplace plugin is used on your website) – since the plugin is not supporting this function, I think it’s not fair to punish us because of a missing feature.

Note: So far, you are the first person to ask for such a feature, and I believe that since there are not so many people asking for it, plugin authors are not introducing it.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or better let’s discuss directly via email.

Why isn’t there a decent manual on how to set up an auction? I do not want to sell products, I only want auctions on my site. I can’t find instructions on how to set this up.

Hi,

If you are planning to only add auctions on your site, then simply add only auctions.

Just in case, you want to get rid of the product types while adding new products on the site, there is no option built-in on Dokan or in the theme – But since this feature is not advertised on our theme I think there is no reason to be mad at us and punish the theme with 1star rating.

On the other hand, even if your support period is expired:

we already offered you a way to help. Let’s discuss this directly via email and we will do everything to help you out.

Thanks!

On your support forum the link to the tutorial concerning iBid Separate Auctions from the Products does NOT work. Please provide a correct link.

Why don’t you correct it in the articles ?? https://modeltheme.ticksy.com/article/15855/

Thank you for the report. We will correct the link today.

Here is the new url of the tutorial: https://modeltheme.com/knowledgebase/separate-ibid-auctions-from-the-products/

Does this theme support DIVI?

What do you mean?

Can I use DIVI from Elegant Themes as page builder

Unfortunately, no. Only WPBakery & Elementor.

Hello there. First of all, it seems to be a very well working theme. Before I buy your theme, I want to ask something I’m curious about.

It is possible with woocommerce simple auctions to extend the time with each bid given in the last few minutes before the end of the auction. However, I would like to update the bid rate in this extension of time. For example, is it possible to provide different bid increases at different price levels in the last 3 minutes and add 30 seconds to the expiration time of each given pitch, or if you can make such an addition, what would be the pricing?

Hi and thank you for being interested in our auctions & shop theme

There are 2 different ways to extend bidding end time with X seconds/minutes/hours, on every single bid.

1. Via code – tutorial.

2. Via theme panel settings – tutorial.

If you need an estimate to implement the solution explained in your comment, please send us this brief at https://modeltheme.com/theme-customization

Hello, I have a problem when I change the color, the search color field changes with it, what should I do to solve this problem?

Please reply quickly and I will be thankful to you

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VWABf5k6FTUT2Thw9tlW8yOiKrhc9YUL5x-gm6nAipE/edit

My problem is clear. When I change the color of the header, the color of the search box changes with it. I sent you a picture for clarification

Hi,

As we see, you already have an account on our help desk platform https://modeltheme.ticksy.com/ Please use the platform to report this to our help agents in order to look into the problem.

Thank you!

okay thank you very much:)

I am trying the system and when I click in Bid Now but before I clicked on some tab like Additional info, auction history or other the bid is not updated at the top of the page. Does this really happen?

Hi,

Please let us know the link where this happens. Most probably that page is cached somehow.

Thank you!

Every Bid that I give the screen is updated?

Hi,

Please provide more details on this report. Maybe a screen capture or a page url?

You can get in touch with us via this form: https://modeltheme.com/contact/

Thank you! MT

Where can I see that I am currently winning an auction? In tests I made a bid but it doesn’t appear anywhere that I’m the last to bid

But I have a way to see that the current Bid is mine? Not using auction history tab

But I managed to make three consecutive bids and this message didn’t appear .

Strange. Can you please share with us the product link you were trying on? Maybe there is browser caching on your side.

Thanks
