Chetu Develops Custom Magento Penny Auction Site & Responsive Mobile Design
BidWinFun is traditional domestic online penny auction website with a mobile presence. They auction off brand new merchandise for pennies on the dollar to whomever wins the bid. They needed an E-Commerce website that could handle a traditional auction but was able to perform online quickly. The auctions take just a couple hours at most. This site would also need to serve thousands of auctions everyday.
BidWinFun first learned about Chetu during a Vegas technology convention where Chetu showcased their industry knowledge & experience with penny auction sites through the Magento E-Commerce platform. The software development would need a responsive adaptive design in the web application that would render perfectly on mobile devices as well.
With Chetu's large talent pool of on-demand developers, industry knowledge, and as a Magento Business Solutions partner it was a perfect fit to get the online auction site up and running.
Web Application Bidding & Auction Functionalities
The Magento web application was created with the features of any traditional penny auction website. Such functionalities as onboarding members, allowing them to buy bid packs and to place bids on ongoing auctions. It's a typical bidding situation where there is a timer, people place bids in competition against each other, and when the timer expires the highest bidder wins the prize.
Chetu also developed the Magento web application to include a help guide for winning bids. The application provides 3 different levels of paid membership which could be purchased & cancelled at anytime.
Membership Examples:
- Frequent Bidder Club (FBC)
- Auction & Bid Management
- Buy It Now (BIN)
- Auction Watch Option (or Notifications)
The development environment incorporated PHP 7.2 as server side scripting language, Magento 2.3.1 as the framework, HTML for creating web pages, MySQL 5.x for database support, GIT for Version Control Management, and Magento Membership & Auction Plug-ins.
