Furality Online Xperience Dealer's Den
There is no application fee to apply for this Dealer’s Den. However, if accepted, you will be required to register for the convention before you may submit your booth files to us.
(Registration prices start at $25)
The Furality Online Xperience Dealer's Den will be in VRChat with a collection of booths from various vendors. Each convention works to improve upon the last and provide a great experience for vendors and attendees alike. We usually plan to have multiple areas and categories of booths to explore. Some examples of categories we have included in previous conventions are:
- 3D avatar models
- 3D avatar modifications and accessories
- 2D artists and other categories
Each vendor is responsible for decorating their booth walls with content. There will also be a Dealer's Den web page that will serve as a map of the worlds and provide you with a place to describe your booth and link to your web services/contact methods. The Dealer's Den worlds and Dealer's Den web page are accessible to anyone who has access to our Dealer's Den worlds for the entire duration of the Dealer's Den. Announcements will be made once the Dealer’s Den world becomes available.
Interacting with attendees
Your booth and listing created on our Dealer's Den web page will serve as the main way for attendees to interact with you. You should ensure you have a contact method in both places to handle any sales inquiries from interested attendees.
Your booth should speak for itself - you don't need to be present in your booth inside VRChat. Due to the nature of how VRChat works, there will be many instances of each Dealer's Den. It is not possible to stand in your booth for more than a single instance of attendees at a time. If you decide to visit one of the Dealer's Den instances we plan to optionally display the Den instance you are currently located within to attendees on our Dealer's Den web page so that they may seek you out. We also plan to have designated meetup times where attendees can meet vendors in-world.
There will be no Discord channel for vendors to interact with attendees regarding sales. A large percentage of our attendees visit the Dealer's Den world, more than those actively using our Discord server.
We aim to give all vendors a fair chance of being seen by attendees through providing the custom worlds and integrated Dealer's Den web page. Attendees will be able to pull up the booth information during their visit in-game for easy access to your contact information and links. The Dealer's Den web page will also allow attendees to search and sort for particular types of vendors.
How to get a booth
To get a booth in our Dealer's Den you need to fill out our Dealer's Den Application. We're looking for VR or furry fandom related vendors, especially those that focus on VR content. Furality Online Xperience is a VR furry convention, and our Dealer's Den is a chance to showcase the creators who make our community possible.
Our Dealer's Den team will review applications submitted to ensure each vendor completed all questions of the application and provided a portfolio of past work that meets our selection criteria. Applications will then be curated into the appropriate world categories based on dealer preferences and staff discretion. Our goal is to provide the best possible marketplace experience for both attendees and dealers.
The most important part of your application is your portfolio of work. This can be a folder containing a collection of recent commission work, a link to your online store, or other examples you would show prospective customers. Be sure to submit a complete application with a portfolio of work that consistently reflects the products or services you are offering.
If you are accepted for a booth
You will receive an email with the status of your application once a determination has been made. If you are accepted, you will be asked to join our Discord so that we can coordinate with you. You will need to be registered and age-verified 18+ through VRChat for the convention in order to upload booth content and confirm your booth. Registering for the convention includes access to perform VRChat’s age verification process at no additional cost to you.
If you do not confirm your booth before the provided deadline, it will be considered abandoned and we will cancel your application. There will be a dedicated Discord channel visible to vendors to coordinate with the Dealer's Den team and get help with any questions about the process of submitting files.
The booth number assigned to an accepted vendor is random. There is no bias used for placement. This means where you are in relation to spawn or other booths is random. You can expect ~20k attendees to visit the Dealer's Den world by our rough estimations.
What you need to submit if accepted for a booth
What you need to submit if accepted for a booth:
- a booth texture image (template will be provided)
- a video file to be played in your booth (optional: details will be provided)
- a description to be posted on your listing on the Dealer's Den web page
- a list of links to your website/contacts/social media for the Dealer's Den web page
- image(s) for the Dealer's Den web page (template will be provided)
We will provide you with a PSD or PNG template file to texture your booth after approving your application.
You must meet the submission deadlines which will be provided to you upon approval in order to ensure your booth is included in the Dealer's Den. You are encouraged to submit early so that we can notify you of any quality or content issues you may want to fix before the deadline. Booth submissions can be updated until the day of the convention. Failure to submit required files/info by the deadline will result in your booth being considered abandoned and removed from the Dealer's Den.

Furality Online Xperience Vendor Terms
No NSFW/18+ or offensive content may be displayed within your booth. This includes avatar pedestals within your booth, if any. Do not discuss NSFW/18+ details in convention instances. All content must adhere to the VRChat Creator Guidelines.
All vendors must be 18 years of age or older at the time of application.
You must be age-verified 18+ in VRChat by the confirmation deadline. Registering for the convention includes access to perform VRChat’s age verification process at no additional cost to you.
All merchandise sold or displayed by vendors must be in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
Booths must advertise products or services that primarily consist of the vendor’s own creation.
All content sold, used, or displayed by vendors must be owned/created by the vendor or their business. Content that includes the use or showcase of generative AI is prohibited.
A Dealer’s Den application is for a single individual or business. Booths are not to be divided/shared by multiple companies without prior approval. No content from other vendors that were not part of the original application will be allowed in any booth.
There are no fees in order to apply for a booth in the Dealer's Den. However, registration is required if you are accepted. Registration will also let you attend the convention and/or visit your booth.
Our Dealer's Den booths are not designed to be staffed by the vendor. Due to the nature of the VRChat platform, it is not possible to stand in every instance of your booth. There may also be technical limitations preventing some attendees from seeing your booth in full quality (Quest/mobile users). Compression will be applied to your booth texture.
Your booth and profile card created on our Dealer's Den web page will serve as the main way for attendees to interact with you. You should ensure you have a contact method in both places to handle any sales inquiries from interested attendees.
There will be no Discord channel for vendors to interact with attendees regarding sales or to post advertisements. The vendor's sole advertisement is their booth in the Dealer's Den world and listing on the Dealer's Den web page which is accessible to registered attendees.
Our official announcement channels will direct attendees to visit the Dealer's Den world and listings on the Dealer's Den web page directly. We generally do not retweet/repost ads from vendors on our social media accounts.
