Meta is driving the development of its digital commerce platform by launching new tools for creators to sell virtual items alongside a new Horizon Worlds Creator funding program.
The tools are aimed at creators looking to earn a living and purchase digital goods and services and is currently being tested with a handful of creators to collect feedback.
Facebook says it opened up the metaverse in an effort to add creative opportunities for businesses and influencers.
The new tools would enable creators to sell attachable accessories or provide paid access to new worlds online.
Horizon Worlds purchases are open to people aged 18+ in the US and Canada.
