Are You Ready to Shop in the Metaverse? Larecoin's VR/AR Commerce Revolution Explained in Under 3 Minutes

Your customers want to shop everywhere. Physical stores. Online. And now: inside virtual worlds.

Most payment processors can't handle that. They're stuck in 2D while commerce moves to 3D.

Larecoin built something different. A B2B2C platform that processes crypto payments across physical stores, mobile apps, and VR/AR environments simultaneously. Same wallet. Same infrastructure. Zero friction.

Let's break it down fast.

The Problem: Traditional Processors Weren't Built for the Metaverse

Here's what most merchants face today.

Payment processor A handles your physical store. Payment processor B handles your online checkout. And if you want to sell in VR? You're building custom integrations that cost six figures and take 18 months.

That's ridiculous.

Plus, those traditional processors charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. On a $100 sale, you lose $3.20 to fees. Multiply that across thousands of transactions and you're hemorrhaging money.

And don't get started on reconciliation. Lost receipts. Chargebacks with zero proof. Financial chaos across three different platforms.

The metaverse shouldn't be harder to monetize than a Shopify store.

Larecoin's Solution: One Platform, Every Reality

We built the entire stack from scratch. Self-custody wallets. Master/sub-wallet hierarchies for business operations. QR-generated POS systems that work identically whether your customer scans with a VR headset, smartphone, or handheld terminal.

Here's what makes it work.

Unified Infrastructure: Your merchant portal controls everything. Physical POS terminals. Online checkout widgets. VR storefront SDKs. One dashboard. One settlement flow. One reconciliation report at month-end.

Gas-Only Transfer Model: We charge approximately $0.10 per transaction. Not 2.9% plus fees. Just the blockchain gas cost. On that same $100 sale, you keep $99.90 instead of $96.80. That's a 50%+ reduction in payment processing costs.

Self-Custody Always: You control your funds. No middleman holding your money for 7-14 days. No surprise account freezes. Your keys, your crypto, your business.

The VR component? It's just another interface to the same underlying payment rails.

NFT Receipts: Permanent Proof of Every Transaction

Every purchase generates an NFT receipt minted on-chain. Permanently stored in your wallet. Searchable. Verifiable. Tamper-proof.

Lost a receipt? Impossible. It's on the blockchain forever.

Customer disputes a charge? Pull up the NFT. Transaction timestamp, amount, wallet address, merchant signature: all there. Immutable.

This solves the biggest problem with metaverse commerce: proof of purchase. When someone buys a virtual item for $500 in a VR shopping experience, both parties need absolute certainty the transaction happened. NFT receipts provide that.

Traditional processors give you a PDF you'll lose in your email. We give you cryptographic proof.

LUSD Stablecoin: Volatility Protection Built In

Accepting crypto doesn't mean risking volatility. Larecoin supports LUSD, the decentralized stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD.

Customer pays in LUSD. You receive LUSD. Value stays stable. No surprise 15% drops overnight.

Or let customers pay in any crypto: BTC, ETH, SOL, LARE: and auto-convert to LUSD at settlement. Your choice. Full flexibility.

This matters for VR commerce because virtual experiences often involve microtransactions. $2 for a virtual coffee. $5 for an avatar accessory. $15 for a concert ticket. Those small purchases need price stability or customers won't convert.

LUSD makes crypto payments practical for everyday commerce.

Master/Sub-Wallets: Enterprise Control Meets Self-Custody

You run multiple storefronts. Different locations. Different employees. Different departments.

Larecoin's master/sub-wallet architecture gives you centralized control with distributed operations.

Master Wallet: Your main treasury. Full oversight. Access to all funds.

Sub-Wallets: Individual terminals or employees. Spending limits. Transaction permissions. Automatic reporting.

Your VR store manager gets a sub-wallet with a $5,000 daily limit. Your AR product demo team gets a sub-wallet that only accepts payments, no sends. Your physical retail locations each get dedicated sub-wallets that auto-settle to the master at closing.

All self-custody. All controlled by you. Zero trust required in third parties.

This architecture is critical for metaverse commerce because virtual storefronts need autonomous payment processing without manual approvals for every transaction. Sub-wallets enable that.

Social Commerce: Shopping Becomes an Experience

Metaverse shopping isn't just "buy a thing in VR." It's social. Collaborative. Interactive.

Larecoin's platform integrates features traditional processors can't touch.

Voice Chat During Shopping: Browse a virtual store with friends. Discuss products. Get real-time opinions. All inside the VR experience.

Collaborative Wishlists: Build shared carts. Vote on purchases. Split payments automatically across multiple wallets.

Influencer-Hosted Events: Creators launch product drops inside VR spaces. Fans attend. Purchase in real-time. NFT receipts prove attendance.

AI-Powered Recommendations: The system analyzes wallet behavior and purchase history. Suggests products based on on-chain data. Privacy-preserved. No centralized database required.

These features transform shopping from a transaction into an event. And because payments happen on-chain with NFT receipts, every interaction is trackable for loyalty programs and rewards.

Why This Matters for Your Business

The metaverse isn't some distant future. Major brands are launching VR experiences now. AR shopping tools are going mainstream. Web3 commerce is happening.

Customers expect seamless experiences. They want to browse in VR, visualize products in AR, and complete purchases without friction. They want self-custody. Price transparency. Permanent receipts.

Traditional payment processors can't deliver that. They're building band-aid solutions on legacy infrastructure.

Larecoin designed the platform for this exact use case. Unified commerce across every reality. Gas-only pricing that saves you 50%+ on fees. NFT receipts that eliminate disputes. LUSD stability that protects margins.

Start Small, Scale Into the Metaverse

You don't need to launch a full VR store tomorrow.

Start with crypto POS terminals at your physical locations. Add online checkout widgets. Build customer adoption. Then introduce VR experiences as your audience grows.

Or go all-in from day one. Full VR storefront. AR product demos. Social shopping events. The platform scales to your ambition.
