Is iBid the right theme for an auction marketplace?
iBid from modeltheme turns WooCommerce into a bidding marketplace, so vendors list lots and buyers bid instead of buying at a fixed price. It has 3,424 sales and a 4.66 rating from 102 buyers, and the auction engine comes from the WooCommerce Simple Auctions plugin.
Best for: auction and bidding marketplaces where several sellers list lots, from car auctions to art and collectibles
The iBid WordPress theme from modeltheme is a multi vendor auctions theme for WooCommerce. Moreover, it lets several sellers list lots that buyers bid on, rather than buy at a fixed price.
Auctions on top of WooCommerce
The bidding itself comes from the WooCommerce Simple Auctions plugin, and iBid builds the shop, the lot pages and the vendor screens around it. In addition, the MT Auction Lots addon extends this with shared timing and time slots, so a catalogue sale runs lot by lot. Therefore the theme covers a real auction house workflow, not just a countdown badge on a product.
Keep the dependency in mind. Without the auctions plugin you get a normal WooCommerce shop, which the theme also ships as a demo.
A closer look at the iBid demos
25+ demos for very different sales
The demo list covers automotive, antiques and collectibles, coins, art, real estate and land, books and comics, charity fundraising and heavy machinery. Furthermore, one demo runs countdown auctions and another is a plain shop with no auctions at all. As a result, you start from a layout that already matches the goods you sell.
modeltheme also publishes demo vendor credentials, so you can log in on the demo and test the seller side before buying.
Vendor plugins and marketplace setup
iBid is compatible with Dokan Lite and Pro, WCFM Marketplace, WC Vendors and MultiVendorX. Moreover, the auction settings work inside those vendor dashboards, so sellers create their own lots. In addition, the author bundles a maps addon with every purchase, which helps when lots are tied to a location.
Sales, rating and updates
iBid has 3,424 sales and a 4.66 rating from 102 buyers. Moreover, modeltheme last updated it on 2 September 2026, and the compatibility list reaches WordPress 7.0.x and WooCommerce 10.x. However, the theme is not Gutenberg optimized, so Elementor or WPBakery remains the editing route.
