Today, we live in times where we witness incredible progress in many areas of life. The way we shop online is also changing. More and more people are using this form of acquiring products, and in this field, we observe changes as well. In an era where technology evolves faster than ever before, we stand on the threshold of a digital revolution, where Metaverse emerges. It’s not just a concept, but a space where reality merges with the digital world, creating unlimited possibilities. It is the arena where our vision—a virtual shopping mall—takes shape and life. Metaverse as the future becomes a fact before our eyes.
What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a concept of a rapidly developing virtual world that connects various aspects of the digital space, such as video games, online meetings, e-commerce, virtual communities, and augmented reality (AR) as well as virtual reality (VR). The idea assumes the creation of an integrated, three-dimensional world where users can work, play, create in virtual spaces using avatars, and also shop.
Metaverse aims to provide greater immersion than traditional online experiences, offering users a sense of presence in the virtual world. In the Metaverse, it is possible not only to participate in entertainment but also to conduct business, organize meetings, participate in cultural and educational events, and even shop and socialize in a more advanced and integrated way than ever before.
Immersion refers to the deep immersion and engagement of the user in an experience or environment. It is a state in which a person feels completely absorbed by an activity or digital world, losing a sense of real time and space. A person enters an artificial world that will change human perception of the world. Will a person then know what is and what is not real? Immersion can be emotional, cognitive, or physical, depending on the type of experience and the technology used to create it.
Technologies such as VR and AR are key components that enable the Metaverse experience, allowing users to immerse themselves in virtual worlds with a level of realistic experience. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies also play an important role in the Metaverse economy, enabling secure transactions, digital ownership, and the creation of decentralized markets.

Metaverse is the new frontier of digital innovation.
Although the concept of the Metaverse is still in development, many companies in the technology and video game industry are investing significant resources in its realization, seeing it as the future of digital interactions and virtual entertainment. We at ECAT eCommerce have seen tremendous potential in this technology for application in commerce, which is why we are creating an environment that will offer the possibility of shopping. Every customer will be able to experience new sensations while buying what they need in a way that has not been possible before.
The beginning of our journey towards the vision of creating a Virtual Shopping Mall.
Every great innovation starts with a spark of an idea, and our journey into the Metaverse was no exception. We dreamed of a place that would change the way people shop, interacting with products and services. We visualized a space where, through their avatar, everyone can experience a new dimension of shopping.
In 2017, fascinated by the idea of digital spaces, we decided to create something unique. We decided to create a Virtual Shopping Mall. The introduction of the virtual mall idea stemmed from our fascination with the possibilities that the Metaverse opens up for us. “We want to create a place where interactions between customers and products are not only possible but incredibly engaging,” says Grzegorz Ciupek excitedly.
This was our first step towards creating something that we later recognized as part of the Metaverse. Our interest in transferring shopping experiences to the virtual world was a response to the market’s growing demand for innovative e-commerce solutions.
Early stages of the project and domain purchase.
Implementing the Metaverse concept. From idea to realization.
Already in 2018, we invested in the Aderlo domain, not yet knowing that our project fits into the increasingly popular concept of the Metaverse. At that time, we were already convinced that our vision had the potential to change the face of digital commerce. This decision was a key step towards realizing our project, opening doors to a world full of new possibilities.
We were already aware that the direction in which the digital world is heading opens up infinite possibilities for us. At this point, our vision began to take real shapes.
Metaverse as the future of e-commerce.
We believe that the Metaverse has the potential to surpass traditional e-commerce, offering experiences that are richer and more interactive than ever before. Our commitment to creating an ecosystem that connects the virtual with the real is the foundation of our future success.
Understanding and adapting the Metaverse concept.
Understanding the Metaverse and its potential was crucial for us in the development process of our project. We knew that the Metaverse is not just another digital platform, but a space where the boundaries between reality and virtuality blur.
“Metaverse is not just technology; it’s a new dimension where we can create, communicate, and develop business. It’s a space where our ideas take real shapes,” explains Grzegorz Ciupek.
Investing in the Aderlo domain was our first step towards creating a virtual gallery that became the foundation of our commitment to the Metaverse. This was the moment when our idea began to materialize, and we began to understand how important it could play in the future of e-commerce.
Greater interaction and customer experiences through Metaverse.
Metaverse opens doors to a world where shopping is not just a transaction, but a full-fledged experience. In our virtual shopping mall project, we emphasize creating experiences that increase engagement and customer satisfaction.
“In the Metaverse, we have the opportunity to offer customers more than just a product—we offer them a whole story they can experience and participate in,” explains Michał Knap, Sales Director at ECAT eCommerce.
Increased conversion is one of the key aspects that Metaverse brings to e-commerce. Thanks to interactive and immersive experiences, customers are more inclined to make purchases, which translates to higher conversion rates.
Enhancing virtual buying experiences.
Shaping the new face of online trade.
In the era when Metaverse shapes the new face of digital interaction, innovations and technologies become key elements in our virtual shopping mall project. Our commitment to developing and implementing advanced AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) technologies aims to transform the way consumers experience online shopping.
“We aim to make each shopping experience in our virtual gallery unique. Using AR and VR, we enable customers to visualize products in a truly three-dimensional world, significantly enriching their shopping experiences,” emphasizes our sales department head.
Our technologies allow the creation of realistic, interactive environments where customers can try on clothes, explore spaces, and fully engage in the shopping process. This groundbreaking approach to e-commerce goes beyond the limits of traditional online trade and understanding what it all is when it is not experienced. Metaverse will be like a drug that attracts and draws the user into a place that is not yet known but will soon be recognized.
Practical application of Metaverse in trade.
We are entering a world where reality meets the digital world. No one knows how far this can go and where it may lead us. The vision of the future of virtual shopping malls in the Metaverse is a bold look at the future of sales in e-commerce. It goes beyond traditional forms of life perception. Once, people were excited about shopping in traditional stores, where people met face-to-face, could physically shake hands, look each other in the eye, smile, and exchange views.
Today, shopping is no longer exciting; people need new stimuli, new stimulations, new emotions, new excitement. The real world no longer brings joy; to gain new stimuli, people enter the digital world, hence creating a shopping mall is successful and will become a hit in the coming years. During shopping, people will be disconnected from the place they are currently in. The grayness of everyday life and the four walls of an apartment will disappear in exchange for traveling to different places at one moment. They will move to a world not created by themselves.
“In our vision, shopping malls in the Metaverse will be more than just transaction places. They will become experience centers, where every aspect of shopping is enhanced by VR and AR technology, creating unforgettable impressions,” says our sales director, Michał Knap.
Metaverse opens new doors and creates a space where shopping becomes a unique experience, and the relationships between consumers and brands are moved to a new dimension. The application of advanced technologies will enable users to try on clothes on their avatars, explore products in three-dimensional environments, and even interact with other users and brands in a more personal and engaging way.
