    Thank you for all your replies @jeffpaul @phoenixfireball

    We’ve been exploring this further and spoke to Simple Auctions who can confirm the following:

    “Simple Auctions plugin uses custom product type which is basically WooCommerce custom post type.”

    If the distributor plugin does this, would it be a fairly straight forward setup?

    1.Setup wordpress multi-site and two domains
    2.Create navigation and basic elements of website, footer etc.
    3.Install WooCommerce, SimpleAuctions and Distributor plugin.
    4.List products and set as auctions with the SimpleAuctions plugin and choose which website to display the items on (or display same item on both websites)

    We are looking for someone experienced that can provide this setup so we have a project here for anyone that is interested. I want to make the right initial decisions on how this would be setup and function.

    If this was the setup, would we be able to post the same items on both sites? If someone bid on one website, would the bids show on the other website if the post(woocommerce product-auction) is linked?

    @phoenixfireball Thanks for your reply.
    If we wasn’t to share the bidding data across the two sites, i.e. just list the same auctions across both sites but not share bids received etc. would this be easily achievable without significant custom coding or does the same apply?

    Hi @phoenixfireball thanks for your reply. Are you able to elaborate more on your reply as you haven’t provided much information to date on the complications with this setup?

    I have taken advice from a previous developer we have worked with and they have said multi-site will work fine, the only concern is with woocommerce and the simple auctions plugin as there could be some restrictions with sharing the listed products across two websites.

    Can anyone provide further advice on what we are trying to achieve?
    Thank you so much,

    Does anyone know a plugin that will help us achieve the above?

    Hi @jdembowski , Thanks for the feedback and moving my post – sorry I couldn’t locate the relevant board.

    I have tried quite a few of the plugins at your link but can’t find one that achieves what we are looking for above.

    Can anyone let me know if there are any existing plugins that would do this? Or would we need to look into bespoke development of our site to achieve this?
