Short answer
Daraz commission ranges from nothing to about 20% depending on the category, plus a payment fee of around 1.25%, about 6% per order if you join Free Shipping Max, sales tax on the commission and a small fixed fee per order, according to Pakera's August 2026 guide. Price every product after all of these deductions, not just the commission.
Daraz is Pakistan's best-known online marketplace, and for many brands it is the fastest way to reach buyers across the country. But many sellers discover too late that commission is only one of several deductions from every order. This guide explains the fees, how to price for profit and what actually moves sales on Daraz.

How to price for profit
- Start with your product cost, packaging and the cost of returns.
- Add every Daraz deduction above, not just the commission.
- Decide the margin you need after all costs, then set the price.
- Check that your price still works during campaigns and vouchers, when you may discount further.
A product that looks profitable at a 10% commission can lose money once payment fees, shipping programmes, tax and returns are included.
Listings that sell
- Titles: lead with the product type and the main feature buyers search for, then brand, size and colour.
- Photos: a clean main image, then close-ups, size or scale shots and the product in use.
- Descriptions: short bullet points on material, size, what is in the box and care instructions.
- Variations: group sizes and colours in one listing, so reviews build up in one place.
Ratings, reviews and seller performance
Buyers on marketplaces lean heavily on ratings. Ship on time, pack carefully, answer chat messages quickly and include a polite card asking happy customers to leave a rating. Late shipments and cancellations hurt both your reviews and your visibility.
Campaigns and ads
Daraz runs large sales events throughout the year, such as 11.11. Plan stock, prices and vouchers weeks ahead, and use Daraz's own ads for your best-sellers rather than spreading a small budget across everything. Track the cost of ads against profit, not just revenue.
Daraz plus your own store
Marketplace customers belong to the marketplace. A Shopify or WooCommerce store alongside Daraz lets you build your own customer list, keep more margin on repeat orders and run your own promotions.
