Why Pay-Per-Order Pricing Makes Sense
Traditional fulfillment services in Saudi Arabia often require massive upfront investments, long-term contracts, and fixed monthly fees regardless of your actual sales volume. This creates a huge barrier for growing e-commerce businesses and makes it difficult to scale efficiently.
ISNAAD's pay-per-order model eliminates these barriers. You only pay when we fulfill an order for you – no orders means no fulfillment fees. This approach aligns our success with yours and ensures you never pay for unused capacity.
"The pay-per-order model was a game-changer for our startup. We went from worrying about fixed fulfillment costs to focusing entirely on growth. In our first six months, we saved over 45,000 SAR compared to traditional 3PL providers." - Layla Al-Zahrani, Founder of LuxeHome

❓ Common Pricing Questions
Q: Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. We believe in complete transparency. The only fees you pay are clearly outlined: fulfillment fees per order, storage fees based on actual space used, and any special handling charges you specifically request. There are no setup fees, monthly minimums, or surprise charges.
Q: What happens if I have a slow month?
This is where pay-per-order pricing shines. If you process 50 orders instead of 500, you only pay for 50 orders. There are no monthly minimums or fixed fees, so your fulfillment costs scale directly with your sales volume.
Q: How do volume discounts work?
Volume discounts are automatically applied based on your monthly order volume. Once you hit 501 orders in a month, you get a 10% discount on all fulfillment fees for that month. The discount increases as your volume grows, with custom pricing available for enterprise clients processing 10,000+ orders monthly.
Q: Can I negotiate better rates?
For high-volume clients (5,000+ orders monthly), we offer custom pricing discussions. Factors considered include order consistency, average order complexity, seasonal patterns, and growth projections. Contact your account manager to explore custom pricing options.
Q: How do returns affect pricing?
Processing returns costs 50% of the original fulfillment fee (4-7.5 SAR depending on complexity). If items are restocked in sellable condition, no additional storage fees apply. Damaged or unsellable returns may incur disposal fees, which are always discussed with you first.
