PHP Pro Bid powers fixed-price webstores and full multi-vendor marketplaces — on software you own outright. No monthly subscriptions. No transaction fees taken from your revenue. No vendor lock-in.
No auction mechanics required. PHP Pro Bid gives you a complete fixed-price selling platform — product listings, cart, checkout, and payments — built for sellers who want full control without paying per transaction.
Create listings with titles, descriptions, multiple images, and a fixed Buy Now price. No bidding involved — buyers see the price and purchase immediately.
Buyers add multiple products from your store to a single cart and check out in one transaction. Supports multiple payment gateways including PayPal and Stripe.
Organize your store with nested categories, set stock quantities, and receive low-stock alerts. All managed from a single admin dashboard.
Connect to PayPal, Stripe, or dozens of other gateways. You receive payments directly — PHP Pro Bid takes nothing. No hidden transaction percentages.
Buyers add multiple products to a single cart and check out in one flow. The full cart, checkout, and payment process ships with PHP Pro Bid — not bolted on with a third-party plugin, and never taxed with a per-transaction fee.
Buyers add products from any listing and see a running total in the header mini cart — with quick links to view the cart or check out at any time.
Adjust quantities, remove items, empty the cart, or move items to a wish list for later. Buyers keep browsing and the cart persists across the session.
Billing address, a separate delivery address, shipping method, and payment gateway — all on a single checkout page. Fewer steps, fewer abandoned carts.
Issue voucher codes that buyers apply at checkout for a discount — run promotions and seasonal offers without any extra module.
Let other sellers do the listing work while you earn fees from every transaction on your platform. PHP Pro Bid gives you complete control over who sells, what they pay, and how your marketplace runs.
A marketplace built on PHP Pro Bid puts you in the role of platform owner — not just seller. Vendors register, create their own accounts, list their own products, manage their own orders, and handle their own customer communications. You set the rules, collect the fees, and own the platform entirely.
Unlike SaaS marketplace platforms, there's no percentage of your GMV going to a third party. Your fee income is your fee income — all of it.
New sellers register through a self-serve flow. You approve or reject applicants, set seller tiers, and control what each group can list and how many items.
Every vendor gets a dedicated storefront page with their profile, feedback score, and active listings — building buyer trust across the whole marketplace.
Vendors manage their own listings, orders, and account settings from a self-service dashboard. Less admin work for you, more independence for them.
PHP Pro Bid tracks fees owed by each seller, generates invoices automatically, and supports both prepay credits and end-of-period billing cycles.
Most marketplace software charges you monthly — and takes a percentage of everything your sellers earn. PHP Pro Bid charges once.

Yes. PHP Pro Bid supports both simultaneously. You can list your own products at fixed prices while also allowing external vendors to register and sell alongside you. No separate installations needed.
