How can you not care about the cost of opening a store when doing business? Let’s take the Malaysian site as an example to see what are the costs of opening a store on Lazada?
Lazada’s store opening costs are mainly divided into two parts: one is the fixed fee charged by Lazada, and the other is other costs such as logistics. Lazada’s store opening costs can be calculated using the following formula:
Lazada store opening costs = order commission (Commission) + value-added tax (GST) + accounting processing fee (2% of total sales) + shipping and other costs
(I) Order Commission
The Lazada platform’s order commission will charge different proportions of fees based on different product categories.
(II) Value-added tax
Lazada currently has 6 sites in Southeast Asia, and the value-added tax of each site is different.
(III) Shipping and other costs
Lazada platform has launched the LGS (Lazada Global Shipping) global delivery plan. Of course, sellers can also choose to ship by themselves. Therefore, the calculation of shipping costs will vary depending on the shipping method chosen by the seller. In addition to shipping costs, other costs include: customs duties and handling fees in various countries, etc.
