## What the WordPress integration does

Octoplus provides a WordPress plugin that connects your auction website to Selloff through the Selloff API. Your team keeps working in Selloff; the website displays the same data and sends clients' actions back to it. The plugin is configured in WordPress with your Selloff address and API key.

## What your website can show

- Upcoming and past sales, catalogues and lot pages with photos, estimates and, after the sale, results.
- Search and category pages based on your Selloff taxonomies.
- Options set in Selloff, such as showing lot titles and tags, hover or fullscreen image zoom, or sold lots in fixed-price sales.

## What clients can do

- Register, log in and reset their password with their Selloff client account.
- Leave written bids, which are recorded in the sale with a bidder number, and bookmark lots.
- Buy lots from fixed-price sales through a cart and checkout.
- In their account, see their bids, invoices and consignments, download documents, and update their address and shipping instructions.

Selloff can call the cache invalidation URLs you declare, so pages refresh when lots change. See also [online catalogue publishing](https://www.selloff.auction/features/online-catalogue-publishing.md) and [absentee & phone bids](https://www.selloff.auction/features/bid-recording.md).

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to copy my catalogue into WordPress?

No. The Selloff plugin reads lots, photos and results from the Selloff API when a page is displayed, so the website shows what is in Selloff. When lots change, Selloff can notify your site to clear its cache.

### Can clients bid on my WordPress site?

Yes. Logged-in clients can leave written and bookmark lots. Bids go straight into the sale in Selloff, and a bidder number is created for the client if needed. For fixed-price sales, clients add lots to a cart and check out.
