WooCommerce / YITH Auctions Customization (Flatsome Theme) -- 2

I have a WooCommerce shop running on the Flatsome theme with YITH Auctions already installed and working. I need a set of precise, update-safe customizations to make the auction flow feel fully native to Flatsome and more user-friendly.

- Scope of Work
1. Instant “Outbid” Feedback (AJAX-based)

When a user is outbid:

Show an immediate red “You have been outbid” message

Display this both:

On shop/category (product grid)

On single product page

Must rely on existing YITH auction logic

No page reloads (AJAX / JS event-based updates)

2. Live Bid Input Refresh

The bid amount field must update dynamically:

When a new highest bid is placed

Automatically calculate and display the next valid minimum bid (based on YITH increment rules)

Must work via AJAX (no manual refresh)

Should hook cleanly into YITH/WooCommerce logic

3. Countdown Timer Styling (Grid vs Single)

Different timer display styles required:

Category/Grid → block-style compact timer

Single Product → larger/bolder timer style

Style must be selectable from Admin (simple toggle/setting)

I will provide CSS guidelines

Developer handles:

Markup wiring

Proper hooks

Script enqueueing

Admin option setup

4. Product Tab Order

Move the “Bids” tab so it appears directly after the “Description” tab.
No other tab positions should change.

Technical Requirements

Must be implemented in a child theme or lightweight custom plugin

No core edits to Flatsome or YITH

- Deliverables

Zipped child theme or plugin add-on

All PHP, JS, and CSS included
