Qoo10 JAPAN Live Studio powered by Orbitvu!

What is live shopping?

Live shopping is a fun and interactive way to shop that blends the instant gratification of live video with the thrill of online shopping. Imagine your favorite social media influencer or brand hosting a live stream where they showcase products, perform demonstrations, answer questions in real-time, and actually help you make a choice by exchanging experiences with the product. 

As an online shopper, you can watch, interact, virtually try on things, and make purchases right on the spot, all from the comfort of your home. Live shopping turns the solitary act of clicking through a website into an engaging and social experience.

The beginning of the Qoo10 JAPAN Live Shopping

In 2021, Qoo10 JAPAN launched live shopping. Qoo10 JAPAN was always ahead of its time, selling the most fashionable items in the most engaging way possible. Thanks to the interactive format of the Qoo10 JAPAN’s live shopping, the customers could see, hear, and participate in the event, which boosted their experience. 

As the live shopping grew, Qoo10 JAPAN decided to open a studio with dedicated video and 360 photography automation to maintain the quality and deliver live shopping to customers daily. 

Experience scaling across Asia and globally

Powered by Orbitvu, the Live Shopping Studio is part of eBay Japan’s Qoo10 JAPAN - Live Studio project, aiming to introduce a new dimension to online shopping by seamlessly merging the digital world with the customer’s real-life experience. The concept is set to scale across the entire Asian region and subsequently globally, bringing a revolution in modern in-store shopping, leaving behind catalog-driven e-commerce.
