Worldline has released the Worldline Metaverse Shopping Hub within Spatial, a significant upgrade to its white-label solution for merchants seeking access to the Metaverse.
Through this platform extension, online businesses will be able to benefit from major advances in graphical quality and accessibility across desktop, mobile and VR devices. With the Metaverse e-commerce marketplace estimated to reach US$2.6 trillion by 2030 according to McKinsey, this platform extension will provide merchants who do not have a Metaverse presence with a market-leading solution and offer their customers an even more engaging experience in the new era of commerce.
After a successful launch of the Worldline Metaverse Shopping Mall earlier this year in Decentraland, Worldline now adds Spatial, thus creating a Metaverse Shopping Hub across various Metaverse platforms.
Understanding the transformative nature of gaming’s influence on the digital world, season two within Spatial will provide new customer engagement methods supportive of the digital environment’s pre-existing intuitive behaviours. For example, merchants can incentivise users to participate in virtual scavenger hunts, allowing them to collect digital eggs in exchange for community card NFT rewards.
Sascha Muenger, Head Competence Center Crypto Related Products & Metaverse at Worldline says:
“We are delighted to present the second season of our Metaverse Shopping Mall in Spatial. This important milestone gives us the opportunity to create a new shopping experience together with some of our most innovative customers and take another step towards commerce solutions in the Metaverse.”
Expanding reach in Germany and Austria with PAYONE
The launch of the Metaverse Shopping Hub Season Two also marks a geographical expansion: PAYONE, a joint venture between Worldline and the German Savings Banks Association (DSV Group), will also distribute the Worldline Metaverse White Label solution in Germany and Austria, starting in the 1st quarter of 2024.
This collaboration will bring global innovation to important local markets and will help to further scale the Worldline Metaverse Shopping Mall, allowing more merchants to gain initial experience around the Metaverse as a potential new commerce channel alongside point of sale and eCommerce.
