What is fair local commerce?
Fair local commerce is the application of fair trade principles (fair price, direct relationship, no parasitic intermediary) to neighborhood exchanges. It aims to preserve margins for producers and merchants facing platforms that take high commissions. COLHYBRI is the first SaaS tool to apply this principle to neighborhood commerce.
Why 0% commission?
Variable platform commissions (30% UberEats, 25% JustEat) mechanically erode local commerce margins, which already sit at 8-15% net. A shop selling at 10 EUR via a 30%-commission platform keeps only 7 EUR gross, below its average net margin. COLHYBRI preserves margins with a flat 10 EUR/month subscription.
How is COLHYBRI profitable at 0%?
COLHYBRI is profitable thanks to subscription volume. For 500 merchants per city, that is 5,000 EUR/month of recurring revenue per city, independent of each merchant sales volume. It is a classic SaaS model applied to local commerce, opposite to the platform model that taxes every transaction.
