Detailed explanation of Lazada registration fees: commission, maintenance fees, value-added tax and accounting processing fees

Lazada is the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, providing merchants with an opportunity to expand sales channels. Although registering an account is free, merchants selling on the Lazada platform will still involve multiple fees. This article will detail various related fees, including order commissions, maintenance fees, value-added tax (GST), and accounting processing fees.

1. Order commission

When merchants sell products on Lazada, they need to pay a certain percentage of order commission, usually between 3-5%. This fee is paid by merchants to Lazada to obtain complete sales channels, logistics services, customer support and other resources. Although order commissions are a necessary cost for merchants, merchants can maximize their revenue through effective pricing strategies.

2. Dimensional freight

Freight fees refer to the costs related to logistics services provided by Lazada to merchants. When a merchant chooses to use Lazada’s logistics service, the delivery cost will be borne by the merchant, and the cost varies by region. Therefore, merchants should consult and fully understand the logistics costs before settling in. In addition, related costs such as packaging and labeling of goods will also affect the final price of maintenance freight.

3. Value-added tax (GST)

According to the tax laws of Southeast Asian countries, merchants are required to pay value-added tax when selling goods on Lazada. The tax rate is usually between 5% and 10%, and the cost is generally borne by the buyer, but merchants need to understand and follow the provisions of local tax laws to ensure compliance.

4. Account processing fees

Account processing fee is a fee charged by Lazada for providing payment processing services to merchants, usually around 2%. This fee will be deducted from the merchant’s account with each transaction, so merchants need to evaluate this fee in advance to ensure that their profits cover this cost.

Overview

Lazada’s entry fees mainly include order commissions, maintenance fees, value-added tax (GST) and account processing fees. Merchants should fully understand these fees before moving in and take them into consideration when formulating detailed sales plans and budgets. Although there is a certain cost to enter the Lazada platform, through this platform, merchants can expand sales channels and increase brand awareness, thereby gaining greater advantages in the fiercely competitive market.
