Phase 1 Proposed Commercial Model

FO2U Phase 1 follows a success-based model. The manufacturer sets the base price they receive, and the system adds 12% on top of it to determine the Customer Product Price — the manufacturer’s price is never reduced.

How the customer price is built

Manufacturer Base Price (kept in full)
RM 100.00
FO2U 9%
RM 9.00
Fulfilment 3%
RM 3.00
Customer Product Price (before logistics)
RM 112.00

Delivery and cross-border logistics are calculated separately and shown at checkout before the customer confirms payment. The 12% is not calculated on logistics, taxes or duties.

Customer-paid and varies by shipment — e.g. RM20.00 of delivery makes the total customer payment RM132.00.

The 3% fulfilment share

  • Allocated to the party performing approved fulfilment — the 3% goes to whoever does the work.
  • If the manufacturer fulfils the order directly, it receives this 3% in addition to its base price.

No upfront cost

  • No upfront onboarding fee
  • No listing fee
  • No monthly platform fee

FO2U platform service fee (9%)

Allocated to FO2U for platform, market-access and order-management services. Deducted only upon successful completed customer orders.

Final commercial terms are subject to product category, fulfilment arrangement, compliance review and final onboarding agreement.
