This is the platform for the customers where they can negotiate with the sellers of the marketplace for the feasible pricing of a product. Geolocation and Google Maps services are used in Magento 2 Marketplace Reverse Auction.

When talking of Reverse Auctions, we cannot call them discount offering tools but they provide the leverage to the customers to request a feasible and low price for a product.Likewise, this extension adds to the integration of the reverse auction tool within your marketplaces so as to provide a strategic and favorable pricing scenario through the reverse auctions. Where on the one hand, customers get to request the lowest price for a product, and the admin and the sellers can generate some real sales and revenue for their stores.
