The Marketplace
The first thing you’ll see when you venture upon Terra Virtua is the segment leading to the marketplace. Before you wander off, you’ll need to know a few things. First of all, Terra Virtua’s marketplace incorporates both the Dollar, as well as Ethereum into its transactions. As far as products are concerned, these can be viewed accordingly with various, which can be applied by clicking the “Filters” button found on the top left corner, which opens a filters panel. From here, you can select your desired assets that you wish to view, whether by it’s brand, edition, category, series, type, rarity or variation. The filter is complex and gives users a wide range of options to choose from. Each item is shown as a thumbnail, with its price, picture, brand logo and the “Add to Cart” or “Make an Offer” buttons.
Item Details
Once you click on an item’s thumbnail in the marketplace, it opens what is known as the item detail page. Here, next to the items enlarged picture, are details, consisting of all the marketplace filters, along with the name of the owner. Towards the right hand side of the page are the options to view the item in a 3D space, along with the option to view it’s block chain history. Below this, are the item’s price, and the options of “Add to Cart” in case the item is being sold by Terra Virtua, or “Make an Offer”, in case the item has already been purchased by a fellow user.
Cart
When an item is added to the cart, the user will have to then checkout from the button on the top right corner, next to the search bar. From this page, the checkout process begins, which gives the user several options which they can choose to pay with:
First is their Terra Wallet, which is a digital wallet. The user will need to deposit sums into the Terra Wallet via their credit card.
The second option is the direct usage of the credit card itself. Users will be asked their credit card legal details, and it will immediately be added.
The third is the Metamask Ethereum wallet, for this, the user will need to install the Metamask Plug-In on their browser, create an account (or use an existing account if they have one) for Metamask and link it with their Terra Virtua account.

Offers and Activity
Offers sent or received in the Terra Virtua platform are shown in the Activity Segment. From here, you will be notified who you are conducting transactions with, along with the current state of transactions that are in process. Offers received will show three options. Whether to accept, decline, or send a counter offer regarding the item of interest. Similarly, when a user sends an Offer request, they will be notified if the receiving party has accepted, declined or countered their offer.
