How does Lazada charge commission?

On most e-commerce platforms, the merchant's transaction commission is calculated by the product price on the listings details page × commission rate. However, on the Lazada platform, sellers are required to pay a 6% service tax in addition to this. In other words, the seller needs to pay a sales commission of (product price - promotional discount/coupon amount) × commission rate + 6% commission service tax.

Moreover, the commission rates for different categories are different, ranging from 1% to 4%. Therefore, when sellers calculate the sales commission that the platform will charge, they also need to determine the commission rate for the category in which their products belong.

In addition to the commission, Lazada also charges sellers a handling fee, the specific amount is: product price × 2%. Just like when calculating sales commission, you also need to add the corresponding commission service tax, so the actual payment fee should be 2% × (product price - general promotion discount - bundled sales/promotion discount + shipping fee paid by the buyer) + 6% service tax × handling fee.
