Short Answer
Before a Daraz campaign, check the dates and sign-up window in Seller Center, confirm your margin after the discount and fees, count stock, prepare packing and labels early, plan for returns, and set a day to reconcile your payout statement. This page is a tick-list you can copy into any sheet, with no Daraz dates or rules invented.
This is a free checklist for getting a Daraz store ready for a sale campaign. Copy it into a sheet, add an owner and a due date to each line, and tick items off. Nothing here states a Daraz deadline or rule: each line says what to check and where.
For the 12.12 campaign specifically, read the Daraz 12.12 seller checklist, which covers that sale in more detail.
Before Sign-Up: What to Check First
- Open the campaign page in Seller Center and write down the start date, end date and sign-up deadline.
- Read the eligibility rules and the discount or voucher terms. Note who pays for what.
- List the products you want to put in. Drop any product with weak stock or a high return history.
- Decide who in your team submits the sign-up, and by which day.
Margin: Will Each Product Still Pay?
- Work out the campaign price for each product after the required discount.
- Run it through a profit calculator with your real commission rate, payment fee, handling and shipping. Use the Daraz profit calculator or the profit Excel template.
- Check your category rate in the Daraz commission list. Higher-rate categories lose more of a discounted price.
- Mark any product where profit is zero or negative. Do not join with it.
- Model a returned order for your biggest products. A return can erase the profit of several sales.
Stock and Supply
- Count what you have, per product and per store.
- Ask each supplier how fast they can restock, and write the answer down.
- Decide a stop point: the stock level where you pause the listing rather than oversell.
- Check that product titles, variations and prices on the listing match what you plan to sell.
Packing, Labels and Handover
- Order packing material early, with a spare allowance.
- Check your label printing setup works. See Daraz shipping label size.
- Decide who packs, who checks and who hands over to the courier.
- Keep a daily count of orders packed against orders received.
Customers and Returns
- Plan who answers buyer messages during the campaign and how fast.
- Prepare photos and checks for packed items, so you have evidence if a return claim is needed. See the Daraz return claim form guide.
- Set a weekly time to review returns and file claims where you have a valid case.
After the Campaign
- Set a day to reconcile your payout statement against your own order list.
- Compare actual profit with your plan, product by product. Understand each line with Daraz seller fees explained.
- Write down what you would change, so the next campaign starts from notes, not memory.
Running More Than One Store?
The same checklist applies per store, which is where it gets heavy. Seller's Revolution has campaign auto join on its Elite and Royal plans, which previews what would be joined across your stores, then signs up and shows what was joined or skipped. It signs up only; it does not change your prices. The margin check above stays your job.
Questions
Is this checklist specific to 12.12?
No. It works for any Daraz campaign. For 12.12 itself, see our 12.12 seller guide, which adds that campaign's timing once Daraz publishes it. This page stays the same year to year, and you add the dates from Seller Center.
Does the checklist include Daraz deadlines?
No, on purpose. Dates, sign-up windows, eligibility and discount rules are set by Daraz for each campaign and change. Each item tells you what to check in Seller Center instead of quoting a number we cannot source.
Can I copy it into my own sheet?
Yes. Select the list, paste it into Excel or Google Sheets, and add owner and due-date columns. If you run several stores, copy it once per store.
