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 This plugin connects to the AuctionPage service operated by EPage, Inc. An AuctionPage account, approved nonprofit organization, API key, and NPO ID are required for normal operation. The plugin sends auction and account requests from this WordPress site to `https:// portal.auctionpage.com`. Depending on visitor actions, this may include account registration and login details, auction listing data, bids, listing images, messages, shipping or pickup information, and related auction activity. AuctionPage service terms are available at https://www.auctionpage.com/terms and the AuctionPage privacy policy is available at https://www.auctionpage.com/privacy. 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. #### License, service access, and compatibility The AuctionPage plugin code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, which is required for distribution through WordPress.org and allows users to modify and redistribute the plugin code. Access to the AuctionPage hosted service is separate from the plugin code license and remains subject to the AuctionPage Terms of Service. Modified copies of this plugin may not be compatible with the AuctionPage service, may violate AuctionPage service requirements depending on their behavior, and may not be supported by AuctionPage. The AuctionPage name and related branding identify the AuctionPage service. The GPL license for this plugin code does not grant trademark rights or permission to suggest that an unauthorized modified version is endorsed, certified, or supported by AuctionPage. ### Shortcodes #### Full auction widget ``` [auctionpage_listings] ``` #### Event auction widget ``` [auctionpage_listings event_id="EVENT_ID"] ``` Replace `EVENT_ID` with the numeric event ID from the AuctionPage event manager. #### Single listing ``` [auctionpage_listing id="LISTING_ID"] ``` Replace `LISTING_ID` with the AuctionPage listing ID. ### Privacy AuctionPage connects this site to the AuctionPage service operated by EPage, Inc. Site owners should disclose that auction and account activity may be sent to AuctionPage when visitors use the embedded auction experience. Depending on visitor actions, data sent to AuctionPage may include account registration and login details, auction listing data, bids, listing images, messages, shipping or pickup information, and related auction activity. The plugin also stores visitor access tokens in browser local storage so visitors can remain signed in. See the AuctionPage Privacy Policy at https://www.auctionpage.com/privacy and Terms of Service at https://www.auctionpage.com/terms. ## Installation 1.

By default, the plugin contacts `https://portal.auctionpage.com` for API requests and uses the matching secure WebSocket endpoint for live auction updates. ### Can developers change the AuctionPage endpoint? Yes. Developers can define the `AUCTIONPAGE_API_ENDPOINT` constant or use the `auctionpage_api_endpoint` filter. ### Can I modify this plugin? Yes. The plugin code is licensed under GPLv2 or later, which allows modification and redistribution.
