Daraz Commission on Hair Accessories

Fashion > Women > Accessories > Hair Accessories and Fashion > Girls > Accessories > Hair Accessories are both 20%. Health & Beauty > Hair Care > Hair Care Accessories > Hair Accessories is 16.04%, and the Hair Care Accessories branch itself is 14.04%. That is a gap of almost four points for similar-sounding products.

Hair accessories are small and cheap, so the commission is usually a few rupees, but the ratio is what counts. On a Rs 400 pack of clips, 20% is Rs 80 and 16.04% is Rs 64, both before VAT. Over a few hundred orders a month, that Rs 16 gap adds up to several thousand rupees.

Do not pick a category only for the lower rate. Pick the one that describes your product in Seller Center, and use this page to understand what the rate will be. If you are unsure which category a product belongs in, ask Seller Center support rather than guessing.

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, 16.04%, is above that median, and about 71% of rated paths on the list carry a lower rate.

This is a good example of why the commission list cannot be read as one number per product type. Hair accessories sit at the high end of the table in Fashion, and above the list median in Health & Beauty (the list median is 12.8% across the rows used on these pages, which leave out the charity rows and special digital products; it is 12.5% across all 7,840 rows). Even the pet version (10.04%) is rated differently, because Pet Supplies has its own flat rate across its branches.
