Pricing you can read before you call us.
An agent's income is built into your unit cost, where you can't see it. FMT Flow's fee is a bill with our name on it. This page is the whole schedule.
Two products. Priced separately.
01The system
A variable subscription: a percentage of shipped value, on degressive brackets. It buys the infrastructure — your portal, full visibility over developments, orders, production and shipments, and a baseline of shared operational support.
02Your people
Dedicated staff: named FMT team members assigned 100% to your brand, at a flat monthly rate per role. The rate pays the person; the system is already paid for by the subscription. Nothing is counted twice.
Start variable-only. Add dedicated people when daily volume justifies them.
The variable subscription
Rates apply per slice of volume, and they only go down: whatever your size, your first $250k is billed at the first rate — and every dollar past a threshold is billed at the next, lower rate.
| Annual shipped value | Rate |
|---|---|
| First $250,000 | 8% |
| $250,000 – $1,000,000 | 6% |
| $1,000,000 – $3,000,000 | 4% |
| $3,000,000 – $8,000,000 | 3% |
| Above $8,000,000 | 2.5% |
What that produces: $1M → 6.5% effective · $3M → 4.8% · $8M → 3.7%. Minimum: $1,200/month.
The base is the net commercial-invoice value (FOB/EXW) of goods shipped, verified in the portal you log into. Freight and duties are not part of it. You pay your factories directly — this fee is the only number FMT bills.
Your year-two rate starts where your year-one volume ended.
Ship $5M in year one and year two runs at 3% from the first dollar. A slower year moves you back one step the following year — never mid-year, and there is no permanent lock-in either way.
The calculator
Dedicated staff — the rate card
| Role | Monthly rate | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | $2,100 | Routine operational work: documents, follow-ups. |
| Mid-level | $3,000 | Experienced specialist; owns your account day to day. |
| Senior | $4,100 | Runs your operation independently; escalations, factory negotiations. |
| Manager | $6,100 | Team lead; multi-account oversight, strategic involvement. |
| Foreign Manager | From $9,000* | Native-language hire from your country, on your operation. On request; 3–6 month lead time. *Final quote case-by-case. |
Dedicated-staff engagements run a minimum of 6–12 months, or carry a three-month notice — because behind the rate is a real employment contract in China, made on your behalf. The variable subscription keeps its 30-day exit.
No factory-side income. No title to your goods.
No margin inside a factory price. You are the buyer of record: your factory invoices you at its own price, and you see every number this page is built on, live, in your portal.
Common questions
- What are the rates?
- 8% on the first $250k of annual shipped value, 6% to $1M, 4% to $3M, 3% to $8M, 2.5% above — each rate applies only to its slice, so the rate only goes down as you grow. Minimum $1,200/month. Dedicated staff runs $2,100–$6,100 per person per month by seniority.
- Can I start variable-only and add people later?
- Yes — that's the common path. The subscription stands alone; staff joins when the volume justifies it.
- What counts as shipped value?
- The net commercial-invoice value (FOB/EXW) of goods shipped in the billing period, as logged and verified in the portal.
- Do rates change mid-year?
- No. Brackets apply within the year as volume accumulates; your starting rate only moves at contract anniversary, by the loyalty rule.
- Why is there a minimum?
- Below it, we can't run the system and the support properly — and we'd rather not pretend we can.
