Luxauro FAQs

Luxauro is a distinctive e-commerce marketplace facilitator built on the TorqueForm, the new patent-pending enterprising platform which interfaces Luxauro’s marketplace directly with TF Empires, which provides tailored rewards-based crowdfunding, and Gold Metal Guild (GMG), a capitalized professional network, along with their extensions: Indie Arcadia, Untreadable, and Ground Sourcing, respectively.

Not only does Luxauro function as a multi-vendor marketplace integrated with professional networking and crowdfunding, but Luxauro incorporates a broader ecosystem that supports merchants and customers by providing an expanded range of opportunities and services, including specialized marketplaces like Luxauro Fresh and Indie Arcadia for niche businesses. 

Moreover, Luxauro champions minimal fees for referrals and merchant accounts, enhancing flexibility for merchants to set competitive prices. This holistic approach to e-commerce, combined with additional business and networking opportunities integrated within the platform, sets Luxauro apart from more traditional multi-vendor marketplaces.

Luxauro hosts specialized marketplaces such as Luxauro Fresh, My Own Luxauro, Indie Arcadia, Luxaurolicious and Charters. These cater to niche needs of both the consumers and producers by providing platforms for specific products such as fresh produce or vacation booking, giving small and local businesses enhanced visibility and opportunities. The goal of this integration is to strengthen and diversify the marketplace ecosystem. For example, Charters integrates booking modules into the Luxauro marketplace and My Own Luxauro seeks to support and grow local businesses by integrating local businesses into the national market.
