What Should Stationery Sellers Watch?
Paper Products, School & Office Equipment, School Uniforms and Sewing are 4.8% at the branch level. Art Supplies, Craft Supplies, Gifts & Wrapping, Packaging & Cartons, Religious Items and Writing & Correction are 6.7%. Rows underneath, such as Pens, Pencils, Calculators and Geometry Sets, are mostly 6.7%.
The exceptions are Glues & Adhesive at 2.65%, which is the lowest row on this page, and School Bags at 6.15%. If you sell a mixed stationery range, expect most of it to fall at 6.7% and check a few lines individually.
Stationery items are cheap, so the commission is a small rupee amount, but shipping and handling are not. A Rs 450 pen set with 6.7% commission pays about Rs 30 before VAT, while shipping and handling come on top. The best protection is bundling or minimum order value, which the profit calculator can test.
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, 6.7%, is below that median, and about 5% of rated paths on the list carry a lower rate.
This is the opposite end of the list from jewellery and fashion. Pens and notebooks cost a third of the commission that clothes do. The trade-off is low basket value: stationery sellers usually win through volume, bundles and school-season spikes.
Worked Example: Commission with and Without VAT
Example. Store A sells a box of pens for Rs 450. The price is made up; the rate is the real Pens rate.
| Line | Writing & Correction > Pens |
|---|---|
| Selling price (made up) | Rs 450 |
| Commission rate, excluding VAT | 6.7% |
| Commission, excluding VAT | Rs 30.15 |
| VAT on commission (15%) | Rs 4.52 |
| Commission on the statement | Rs 34.67 |
| As a share of the price | 7.7% |
| Payment fee, 2.25% plus VAT (2.5875%) | Rs 11.64 |
| Left after these two lines | Rs 403.68 |
The path is Stationery & Craft > Writing & Correction > Pens. 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.
