As of 2016, O Shopping generates 2.2 million pesos in daily sales or 60 million pesos in monthly sales.[3] About 70% of the product purchases on O Shopping are made via the cash on delivery payment, with a 5% cancellation rate.[4]

History

The TV home shopping channel would be operated by ACJ O Shopping Corporation. ABS-CBN Corporation invested an initial 200 million pesos for the joint-venture.[5] ABS-CBN provides the media platforms and the production of programs while CJ O Shopping provides the products and the logistics.
