YOHO has launched its new “Best Commission Scheme”, which officially took effect on 1 April 2026 and covers approximately 400 level-3 product categories. Under the new scheme, eligible merchants in designated product categories can enjoy a reduced commission rate of 5%, down from 9%, with a commission cap of HK$200 per item. Based on the platform’s existing high-priced products, the effective commission rate can be as low as approximately 1%, offering a clear cost advantage compared with general market levels. The scheme is designed to help merchants better manage operating costs while enhancing pricing flexibility and market competitiveness.

As e-commerce continues to serve as an important retail channel, the digitalisation of merchant operations has become a key market trend. Since launching its marketplace platform in the fourth quarter of 2022, YOHO has maintained a “zero registration, zero listing and zero annual fees” model to lower entry barriers and reduce initial operating pressure for merchants. This latest commission optimisation further restructures the platform’s commission framework, enabling merchants to manage costs more effectively across different price segments. In particular, for high-priced product sales, the effective commission ratio decreases as product prices increase, helping merchants improve profit margins and pricing flexibility.

The Group will assess merchants’ operational performance on a monthly basis, including order cancellation and refund rates, product information accuracy, and compliance status. Merchants that meet satisfactory operational standards will automatically be eligible for the preferential commission arrangement. While providing rate incentives, the arrangement also links preferential terms to operational performance, encouraging continuous improvement in platform service quality and consumer experience, and further promoting long-term mutual benefits among the platform, merchants and consumers.
