• Physical Garments:

  For those interested in owning the physical versions, they can place orders directly through the same platform. The app or kiosk will offer options for size, color, and other customizations. Payment is processed securely through integrated payment gateways.

4. Checkout Process:

• Seamless Integration:

  The NFC badges facilitate a streamlined checkout process by automatically transferring selected items to the attendee's cart in the event app. The attendee reviews their selections, confirms details, and completes the purchase.

• Order Confirmation:

  Post-purchase, attendees receive instant confirmation via email and within the event app, along with tracking information for physical items and download links or activation codes for digital fashion items.

This integrated approach ensures a smooth and engaging "See Now, Buy Now" experience, combining the thrill of live fashion with the convenience of immediate purchase opportunities (FabriX, 2024).
