Build a marketplace where providers compete for the work.
Turn WordPress into a branded job bidding marketplace. Customers post projects with photos, documents or videos, providers submit open or sealed bids, both sides communicate privately, and customers award and schedule the work—while you control the services, locations, privacy, pricing and experience.
From marketplace idea to awarded project.
Bid Plugin brings the full project-bidding workflow into WordPress, so you can launch a focused service marketplace without building the engine from scratch.
Configure the marketplace
Choose your terminology, services, custom fields, branding and bidding model.
Add or import businesses
Register providers, create businesses manually or upload existing businesses by CSV.
Customers post projects
Collect descriptions, budgets, deadlines, photos, documents, videos and service-specific details.
Contact matching businesses
The marketplace owner can reach out to relevant businesses and invite them to review the opportunity.
Providers bid and communicate
Interested providers review the project, submit an open or sealed bid and use private marketplace messaging to answer questions.
Customers award and schedule
Customers compare offers, select a provider, continue the private conversation and schedule the work.
More than a job board. A complete bidding workflow.
Job boards advertise opportunities. Bid Plugin helps customers describe real projects, brings providers into the process and gives both sides the tools to reach an award.
Job bidding
Let customers post work and receive competing bids from contractors, vendors or freelancers.
Explore job bidding →Service marketplace
Build around one specialty or support multiple service categories, local providers and remote professionals.

Show bids when transparency matters or protect every proposal when providers should compete privately.
Explore open and sealed bidding →Business listings and CSV imports
Seed the marketplace by importing businesses, managing provider information and connecting listings to opportunities.
View marketplace tools →Private marketplace messaging
Let customers and eligible providers discuss a specific project, exchange protected attachments and receive message notifications.
Explore communication tools →Availability and appointments
Providers publish general availability, and customers and awarded providers can request, confirm or reschedule appointments.
Explore scheduling tools →Provider profiles and job alerts
Providers manage their public business identity, services and travel area, then opt in to alerts for matching opportunities.
Explore provider tools →Marketplace monetization
Choose free access, subscriptions, credits, fixed fees or the model that fits your niche.
See licenses and pricing →Your brand, not ours
Use your marketplace name, logo, colors and support information across the customer and provider experience.
Explore every feature →Location tools without exposing the customer.
Create local marketplaces using separate city, state and ZIP fields, or accept remote projects for freelance and digital services. Marketplace owners decide whether a street address is collected, required, public or protected until a winning provider is selected.
Marketplace owner controls
Configure the location experience around the way your industry actually works.
Built for industries where customers need competing offers.
Use one flexible WordPress marketplace plugin for local services, contractor work, business purchasing or remote freelance projects.

Questions before you build?
Is Bid Plugin only for contractors?
No. It works for contractor bidding, local service marketplaces, B2B vendor quotes and remote freelance projects. The marketplace owner controls the terminology, services, fields and bidding model.
Can I import businesses into my marketplace?
Yes. Business information can be brought in by CSV to help seed a provider marketplace instead of waiting for every business to register from scratch.
Can bids be public or private?
Yes. Marketplace owners can configure open bidding or sealed bidding depending on whether submitted bids should be visible to other participants.
Can customer addresses stay private?
Yes. The administrator controls whether a street address is collected and when it becomes visible. City, state and ZIP can support matching without exposing the customer’s precise location.
Can it support freelance services?
Yes. Remote projects make Bid Plugin suitable for web design, marketing, writing, graphic design, consulting and other services where providers submit proposals for customer-posted work.
How can the marketplace make money?
The owner can choose free access, subscriptions, credits, fixed fees or a hybrid WooCommerce-compatible model based on the economics of the marketplace.
