No commissions on sales
Let's be honest: nothing seems free in our worlds, and that is true in both real life and virtual life.
However, at Cariama we have decided that sales should not been commissioned at all and if you put up your products for resale, you decide how much to give to resellers.
So, simply, sales commission at 0%, and you may compare with other vending systems.
A counterpart for this free service exists: the maximum size of an image is limited to 245Ko and image with higher size will be reduced automatically. Three advantages are seen in this limitation: reduced costs with only one hosting server, thus lower energy consumption with lesser environmental impacts, and limited lag during the display of the images.
Presence in virtual worlds and via website
Different virtual worlds exist along with Second Life® world,
OpenSimulator, an open source project, can be used to simulate a virtual environment similar to Second Life® world. Cariama proposes to expand the shopping experience in all virtual worlds: you will be able to sell your various products inworlds with a vending system and via Cariama website.
Currently Cariama is present in the following worlds:

Inworlds Vending System
For the sales in the virtual worlds, different vending machines (CViewers) are currently proposed:
the 4 and the 6 products display, you
can show or hide the over-text.
Easy Interface
Cariama has developed an interface that we hope is the easiest possible to use. In 5 steps you can make your products available in the different virtual worlds and online at Cariama website:
1- get the tools: server (CBox) and vending system (CViewer)
2- drop inworld at least one CBox and CViewer
3- upload objects, texture and notecard in the CBox
4- fill in the item description at Cariama
5- link objects to your CViewers
Secure communications
Different channels of communications are used in Cariama to secure the delivery of objects inworld and they are tracked from orders to deliveries.
For resell products, since SL payments are unreliable and they can fail silently after a grid-wide update roll-out or when an object spontaneously losses "debt permission", a product is released for delivery only when the corresponding SL transaction is verified and approved.
Also, two CBoxes may be located in two different places with the same objects in case a sim is down. Combination of system is the key for secure delivery.
Statistical tools
Different statistical tools are available in order for you to access the efficiency of your sales: statistics on the different products, collections, stores and CViewers inworld are given. Fees may apply for certain statistical tools:
