Detailed explanation of Lazada platform commission fees and analysis of the impact on sellers and consumers

As one of the most popular and busy online shopping platforms in Southeast Asia, Lazada’s commission fees have an important impact on sellers and consumers. In order to help sellers better understand the commission fees and calculation methods of the Lazada platform, this article will elaborate on the relevant information.

Overview of Lazada platform commission fees

The commission fee on the Lazada platform is calculated based on the product price on the PDP page minus the seller discount. It is worth noting that the discount here does not include the platform discount. When calculating the commission, the seller needs to deduct the portion of the discount he bears. The specific commission rate depends on the product category, and different categories have different commission rates. For example, starting from June 1, 2021, the commission for LazMall cross-border store transactions has been adjusted. Depending on the category, the commission has been adjusted to between 3% and 6%.

For sales order commission fees, Lazada usually charges a certain proportion of the value of the product. The specific proportion changes with time, but generally it will not exceed 6% of the value of the product. In addition, there is a commission fee calculated based on the monthly order total, which is similar to the fee charged by the bank when transferring money, and this fee is relatively low.

Impact on sellers

Lazada’s commission fees directly affect sellers’ profits. Higher commission fees may increase cost pressure on sellers, especially for small and emerging sellers. Therefore, sellers need to consider the impact of commission fees in their pricing strategy and set prices reasonably to ensure profitability. At the same time, the level of commission fees will also affect the seller’s promotion strategy. Lower commission fees can give sellers more room to carry out promotional activities.

Impact on consumers

Lazada’s commission fees will indirectly affect the final pricing of the product, which may lead to an increase in product selling prices, thus affecting consumers’ purchasing decisions. In addition, high commission fees may lead to a reduction in product variety and limit consumer choice. However, higher commission fees may also mean that Lazada can provide better service quality, thereby increasing consumer satisfaction and trust.

How to maximize benefits

In order to maximize profits and provide a better shopping experience on the Lazada platform, sellers can adopt the following strategies:

• Increase sales: Attract more consumers through promotions, high-quality products and services, and more.
• Pricing strategy: Study market demand and competitor pricing strategies, and formulate reasonable product pricing strategies.
• Product Differentiation: Offer unique and differentiated products to reduce reliance on commission fees.
• Reasonably choose product categories: Evaluate the potential profits of each product category and choose the category that suits you best.
