About this demo

  • Store names come from public listings of Vangate Mall (checked Oct 2026). Stores change, so some may have moved or closed.
  • The map is illustrative, not the official Vangate Mall plan. Store positions are not real.
  • Pop-ups, offers and VIP invites are examples. Swift Shopper is a concept demo, not affiliated with Vangate Mall or any store.

How it would work in a real mall: GPS doesn't work well indoors, so the app knows where you are from QR codes on pillars and store entrances, or from small Bluetooth beacons placed around the mall. In this demo, tap the map or "scan" a store QR.

About this map: illustrative map, not the official Vangate Mall plan. Concept demo, not affiliated with Vangate Mall. Entrance roads are from public directions; store positions are drawn for the demo.
