AuctionPage – Online Auctions for Nonprofits

Description

AuctionPage embeds live nonprofit auction listings on a WordPress site. Site administrators configure an AuctionPage API key and NPO ID, then place shortcodes on pages where auctions should appear.

Use AuctionPage to:

• Show a full auction listing widget.
• Show event-specific auction listings.
• Show a single auction listing by ID.
• Let visitors sign in, bid, post eligible auction listings, view account activity, and message sellers through AuctionPage.

Third-party service disclosure

The plugin sends auction and account requests from this WordPress site to https://portal.auctionpage.com.

The configured API key is stored in WordPress and added server-side. It is not exposed to browser JavaScript. Visitor access tokens are stored in browser local storage by the AuctionPage frontend so visitors can remain signed in.
