Love supermarket and shop simulators? Discover familiar stock and shelf management reimagined for e-commerce. Build an online store, run its warehouse in first person, fulfill web orders and advertise your products. Turn an empty garage into an online retail operation you run with your own hands. E-Commerce Simulator is a hands-on, first-person business simulator about building an online shop from the floor up. Name your store, choose its website theme, select featured products and set a free-shipping threshold. Then step away from the screen and do the physical work behind every sale. Build a real warehouse Order stock from suppliers and plan around timed deliveries. When a shipment arrives, its cartons appear in the receiving area. Carry each carton inside and place it in a rack bay. Track inventory carefully: cartons waiting in the receiving area do not become sellable stock until they are shelved. Choose what to sell Watch market prices and product trends, decide what to list and set your own prices. A higher margin can help each sale, but poor pricing can slow demand. As your business grows, unlock more than 70 fictional products and move through five warehouse tiers, from a cramped garage to a mega warehouse. Pick and hand off orders Orders create real warehouse work. Take a picking cart through the aisles and collect up to four orders at once, using a separate cart shelf for each one. Bring the loaded cart to the delivery area and work toward the courier pickup time you selected. Miss the pickup and the shipment waits until tomorrow. Smart routes and organized racks turn a stressful rush into an efficient fulfillment system. Run digital advertising Use two fictional ad networks built around search and social advertising. Choose keywords, audiences, budgets and campaign length. Track impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, CPM, conversion rate and ROAS. Search campaigns reward relevance; social campaigns build brand awareness. Compare results, stop wasted spend and discover which products, prices and audiences work together. Manage the whole business Revenue is only half the story. Pay tax, rent, electricity and courier bills. Late payments can accrue interest, and careless decisions can push the business toward bankruptcy. Balance stock, ads, prices and cash flow before expanding. Play in nine languages and build an online shop whose website, product mix and warehouse reflect your decisions. All product brands and advertising platforms in the game are fictional. No affiliation with any real company or service is intended.

Start from zero. Build businesses, buy properties, earn rent, and put your earnings back to work. Built to Own is a business and wealth simulation game that takes you from your first paycheck toward an empire of your own. Work for your starting capital, grow your companies, own rental properties, and build new income streams through investments. Work toward your dream collection of cars, private jets, and yachts. BUY PROPERTY AND EARN RENT Choose from 16 real-estate properties and earn recurring rent while you own them. Track gross rent, maintenance costs, and net rental income in the game. Reinvest your rental earnings in more properties and businesses to grow your portfolio. INVEST AND GROW YOUR INCOME Explore 15 fictional stocks and 10 cryptoassets. Follow price charts, decide when to buy or sell, and earn extra income from dividend-paying stocks. See your portfolio value, cost basis, unrealized gains or losses, and accumulated investment income. Markets can rise or fall; discover how your decisions play out in the game.
