What Should Groceries Sellers Watch?
The headline rate is misleading. Groceries is 4.44%, Bakery, Baking & Cooking and Beverages are 4.44%, but look at the rows below them. Black Tea, Coffee and Green Tea are 8.54%. Juices and Water are 6.54%. Soft Drinks and UHT Milk are 6.04%. The most common rate in this table is 8.54%.
Frozen food (8.63% for the branch, 8.54% for most rows) and Laundry & Household (8.54%) sit at the top of the grocery range. Candy & Chocolate and Dairy & Chilled are 6.54%. Snacks are 7.04%. If you sell a mix, check each product line rather than using one rate for the shop.
Grocery orders are small, so fixed per-order costs matter more than commission. On a Rs 1,200 order at 6.54%, the commission is about Rs 78 before VAT, but shipping and handling come on top. Use the profit calculator to include them.
How Does This Compare with the Rest of the List?
Across the 7,819 rated paths on the full list (leaving out charity categories at 0% and the special digital products branch), rates run from 0.9% to 25.55% with a median of 12.8%. The most common rate here, 8.54%, is below that median, and about 8% of rated paths on the list carry a lower rate.
Groceries is cheaper than fashion (18.5%), health and beauty (14.44 to 16.04%) and kitchenware (14.8%) by a wide margin. It is close to Stationery & Craft (4.8%), and it is well above handsets (3%). Grocery sellers win on lower commission but have to make it up in volume and repeat orders.
Worked Example: Commission with and Without VAT
Example. Store A sells a juice carton bundle for Rs 1,200. The price is made up; the rate is the real Juices rate.
| Line | Beverages > Juices |
|---|---|
| Selling price (made up) | Rs 1,200 |
| Commission rate, excluding VAT | 6.54% |
| Commission, excluding VAT | Rs 78.48 |
| VAT on commission (15%) | Rs 11.77 |
| Commission on the statement | Rs 90.25 |
| As a share of the price | 7.52% |
| Payment fee, 2.25% plus VAT (2.5875%) | Rs 31.05 |
| Left after these two lines | Rs 1,078.70 |
The path is Groceries > Beverages > Juices. The last row is before handling, Daraz shipping charges, withholding tax and your product cost. The payment fee and VAT figures are what we saw on the statements we checked.
