What you pay depends on what you need. Sourcing an existing product costs you nothing. A simple custom product carries a small one time fee. Technology and new product development run on a monthly retainer. Every term on this page can be negotiated.
Tell us what you want made and we will confirm which model applies before any work starts.
| Model | Best for | What you pay Amora | Commission on your orders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sourcing only | An existing product you want to buy from a reliable factory, with or without your own logo and packaging | Nothing | None. The factory pays us a commission, and we tell you so upfront. |
| Simple product development | Custom plush toys, clothing, posters, merchandise, keychains and stickers | One time fee of USD 500 to 1,000. From USD 100 for very simple items. | 3% to 8% of order value. First test run commission free. |
| Technology and new product development | Technology prototypes and brand new products | Monthly retainer of USD 1,000 or USD 2,400 | 2% to 4% of order value. First test run commission free. |
If the product already exists and you simply want to buy it, that is sourcing only, and it stays free even if you add your own logo or packaging. If it is made to your own design, it is product development. Simple items carry the one time fee. Technology and brand new products run on the retainer.
You want an existing product and a reliable factory to buy it from. We find the factory, check it, and get you a quote. You pay Amora nothing, and that includes products with your own logo or packaging added.
Factory audits, inspections and factory tour days are optional extras, charged at market rates. See the tour days and add on services below.
On sourcing only work, the factory pays Amora a commission on your order. You do not pay us a fee or a commission. We disclose this openly so you know exactly where our income comes from.
Because this service is free, we only take on requests that come with a completed brief. It shows us you are ready to buy and gives the factories what they need to quote accurately. Complete the sourcing brief.
For custom items that are quick to develop, such as plush toys, custom clothing, posters, merchandise, keychains and stickers. You pay one fee to get from your design to an approved sample, then a commission on production orders.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Simple product development From your design to an approved sample, including factory matching, quoting and sample management. |
USD 500 to USD 1,000, one time, set by complexity 50% to begin, 50% on sample approval |
| Very simple items A custom sticker or a similar item that needs very little development. |
From USD 100, one time |
| Production orders Order management, production follow up and quality control on each run. |
3% to 8% of order value First test run commission free |
On these projects all communication with the factory goes through Amora, so you deal with one team in English. Once you sign our service agreement, we share the factory's name and details if you ask for them.
Technology prototypes and brand new products take months of engineering coordination, sampling and supplier work. These projects run on a monthly retainer. In exchange, the commission on production is lower, at 2% to 4% of order value.
| Tier | Monthly fee | Concurrent projects |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | From USD 1,000 per month | One project. Suitable if you have a single product in development with Amora. |
| Growth Partner | From USD 2,400 per month | Up to three projects at once. Suitable if you are adding a second product line, an accessory supply chain, or a parallel device variant. |
Both tiers include the same service. The only difference is how many projects we work on for you at the same time.
A retainer is not open ended. The agreement covers a set duration, based on the estimated timeline to your sample or to mass production.
A project is defined as one product line sourced from one primary factory, together with reasonable alternates for comparison and benchmarking. Sourcing as many candidate factories as the project requires is included. There is no separate per factory charge inside a project.
Commission applies to production orders on product development projects. The rate depends on the value of the order: the larger the order, the lower the rate. Your exact rate is set out in your proposal, and your first test run is always commission free.
| Model | Commission |
|---|---|
| Simple product development | 3% to 8% of order value |
| Technology and new product development, on retainer | 2% to 4% of order value |
| First test run, on either model above | No commission. Your first production batch is exempt so you can test the product, the market and the supplier without commission on top. |
| Sourcing only | No commission charged to you. The factory pays us. |
On simple product development and on retainer projects, we do not take a commission from the factory. Our income is the fee and the commission you see on this page.
Commission applies to orders placed with a factory we introduce, for up to 24 months after the introduction.
Commission is invoiced on the net value of orders placed with any factory we introduce or manage. It does not apply to NRE fees, tooling charges, certification costs, or any amounts paid directly to the factory, which remain separate line items on the proforma invoice.
A day on the ground with Amy in Shenzhen. Suitable alongside any of the pricing models above, or as a standalone diligence day for buyers who want to see candidate factories before committing.
| Tour tier | Price |
|---|---|
| Half day factory tour Either morning to noon or noon to evening, whichever suits your schedule. We fit in as many factories as the route allows in that half day block. |
USD 150 per half day |
| Full day factory tour A full day on the ground with Amy. We fit in as many factories as the route allows, with notes and photos from each stop. |
USD 300 per full day |
Ground transportation between factories is billed separately at cost and itemized on your invoice. Local visits within Shenzhen typically run USD 50 to 100 for the day. Visits extending into Dongguan, Huizhou, or further afield will be higher, and we will flag any such cost before the day begins.
On any confirmed factory tour day, Amy is dedicated to that client for the full block with no parallel client commitments. This is part of the tour day structure, not an extra.
We coordinate shipping and logistics for clients who want us to run it end to end, including dropship arrangements where the factory ships direct to your customer or distributor.
We receive samples at our Shenzhen office, review, and consolidate shipments to reduce courier cost.
We work with vetted freight forwarders and handle bookings, documentation, and shipping mode analysis including CBU versus KD comparisons.
Where suitable, we set up factory dropship arrangements so orders ship direct to your end customer or distributor without a warehouse in between.
If you need one of these services on its own, including alongside free sourcing, we price them individually at market rates.
