Commission is the percentage of the item price that Daraz keeps when one of your products sells. It is the biggest single fee on most orders, and the rate is set by the product category, not by your store.

Where Does Commission Show Up?

Worked Example

Example: Store A sells a product for Rs 1,000 in a category with a 17% table rate (a real rate for one Bags and Travel category). The table rate excludes VAT, so the commission before VAT is Rs 170. On the statements we checked, the amount deducted is VAT-inclusive in effect, so it works out to about Rs 195.50 (17% plus 15% VAT on it, 19.55% in total).

Common Mistakes

Using the parent category rate when the product sits in a sub-category with a different rate.
Forgetting VAT and then wondering why the statement deduction is higher than the table.
Judging profit by commission alone and ignoring the payment fee, handling fee and tax lines.
