2BeInStore. First online video shopping in the world

2beinstore is an e-commerce startup that first offered live video shopping, hence the idea of the name "to be, to be in the store", which in English sounds like 2beinstore.

During the development of the platform, the team came up with original solutions extending the list of possibilities, such as building a video communication and a shopping navigator. For the first time, the platform offered a combination of virtual and real reality. If desired, the user can also build a real route while shopping online. The developed navigator on the platform gives them a unique opportunity to be in both virtual and real dimension.

The goal of the project is to make online sales accessible to smaller offline marketers through the use of live video shopping.

The platform can be used from any device with an Internet connection, such as computers, tablets or smartphones. Once registered, stores can create a profile that reveals information about them. The profile includes a description of the store, photos, and contact and social media information. Stores can connect a video call and receive calls from users.

In turn, users can register with an email address or phone number. The functionality of the platform allows you to search stores by category, create shopping tours and call the store via video call.

2beinstore is a versatile platform which is not limited by geography or functionality and does not stop at stores.

Platform Functionality

2beinstore is written in:

C++

2beinstore offers many features through which users can interact with stores.

With the shopping navigator, users can find suitable stores by specific parameters, such as country, city, category or brand. It is also possible to view a store's page and save it in a trip for future trips.

For direct contact between the customer and the store, 2beinstore has developed a video call and chat with simultaneous translation to avoid language barriers. The buyer can see the product as it is, ask the seller questions about details and parameters, and discuss terms of purchase.

The solution offered by 2beinstore:

The strategic objective for 2beinstore is to attract for cooperation on partnership terms the «players» with a name in the field of payment services, postal delivery services, social networks and other projects interested in expanding their projects through the functionality offered by 2beinstore in exchange for the implementation and popularization of the platform.
