The component is provided with an installation kit; by performing the easy setup you will have in minutes a fully functional Auction Site.

The interface is very user friendly and you can track easily auctions and bids. In the backend panel, various administration features have been provided in order that the site admin can easily maintain control of the site and survey the auctions and bids.

Auction Factory is fully SEF!

The site language can be also easily changed since the component is designed with a easy Language Management System.

The install-kit comes also with a module that suports three display types: Valuable, Popular and Latest Auctions.
