Tip: fees and payout rules change often. Check the numbers on the platform's page and work out what you'll keep before you commit.

To sell on Daraz, sign up in Daraz Seller Center with your ID and a bank account, list products for free, and get paid weekly for delivered orders. Daraz keeps a category commission, a payment fee (2.25% in Pakistan, 2.69% before tax in Bangladesh, 3% in Sri Lanka and 2.5% in Nepal) and a small handling fee per item. Each country has its own Seller Center, payment policy and Daraz University, so check the rules for the market you sell in.

Daraz runs separate marketplaces at daraz.pk, daraz.com.bd, daraz.lk and daraz.com.np, plus Shop.com.mm in Myanmar. The figures in this guide come from each country's Daraz University policies as of September 2026.

Account type: Daraz offers Individual, Sole Trader or Incorporated Business, and Daraz Mall accounts, and each type needs a different set of documents.
Sri Lanka: you do not need a registered business and can sign up with personal details.
Bangladesh: new sellers can take payouts to a bKash merchant account instead of a bank account. Personal bKash accounts are not accepted, and each shop can use only one payout method.
Pakistan: make sure your CNIC or NTN is correct in Seller Center. Daraz withholds 1% sales tax from Tier-1 retailers who are not active sales tax filers, and from any seller whose CNIC or NTN is missing or wrong.

How to open your seller account

Open your country's Seller Center or the Daraz Seller Center app and choose the option to become a seller. In Pakistan, Daraz also invites would-be sellers to text Daraz followed by their name to 7575.
Choose your account type and upload the documents it requires. The Daraz University lesson Documents Required for Seller Signup lists them for each type.
Verify your ID and add the bank account you want paid into, or a bKash merchant number in Bangladesh.
List your first products. Pick the most accurate category, because commission is set by category, and enter real package weights and dimensions, because Daraz can charge you the difference when the actual shipping rate is higher.
Decide how parcels reach Daraz: pick-up from your address where the service covers your city, or drop-off where Daraz offers it.
In Pakistan, complete the New Seller Package within your first 90 days: put 10 or more purchasable products live, join Free Shipping Max, join at least one A+ or Mega campaign and submit products to Early Bird Pricing. Daraz then waives its platform commission for 30 days.
Ship orders within the processing time and keep a copy of every signed airway bill for at least three months, which Daraz makes a condition of payment.

Daraz seller fees in Pakistan

Fee	Amount	When it is charged
Listing fee	None	Not charged
Marketplace commission	A percentage set by category, with new rates for selected categories from 1 June 2026	On each delivered item
Payment fee	2.25% of order value	On every delivered order, prepaid or cash on delivery
Item handling fee	PKR 10 (up to 500), 15 (501 to 1,000), 20 (1,000 to 2,000) or 60 (above 2,000) per item	Deducted from each payout
Pick-up fee	PKR 30 per package under 8 kg, PKR 120 per bulky package	Per package collected, replacing the item handling fee
Free Shipping Max (optional)	6% per item, minimum PKR 30, maximum PKR 200	On each delivered item while you are enrolled
Penalties	30% of item value for seller cancellations or quality returns, 1% for late processing, each capped at PKR 500 per order	When you miss performance targets
Sales tax withholding	1% of taxable supplies	Weekly, only if the conditions above apply

Total penalties are capped at 30% of your payout, and sellers with a cancellation rate below 1% or more than 90% of orders processed on time over the last 90 days are exempt from the matching penalty. The Free Shipping Max minimum does not apply to fashion categories from 1 August 2026. Daraz also collects provincial VAT on the shipping fee from sellers, for example 16% in Punjab and 15% in Sindh. The category rates sit in the PK Commission Rates rate card (May 2026) in Daraz University, and the free HiSeller Pricing and Profit Calculator combines them for you.

What you keep from a PKR 3,000 sale

Assume a 10% category commission (an example only, so look up your own rate) and no pick-up service:

Commission: 10% of PKR 3,000 = PKR 300
Payment fee: 2.25% = PKR 67.50
Item handling fee for an item above PKR 2,000: PKR 60
You keep PKR 2,572.50 before product and packaging costs.

If the item is in Free Shipping Max, another 6% (PKR 180) comes off and you keep PKR 2,392.50. During a New Seller Package commission holiday, the PKR 300 commission drops to zero. Compare scenarios in the fee calculator.

Fees in the other Daraz countries

Country	Payment fee	Item handling fee per item
Pakistan	2.25%	PKR 10 to 60
Bangladesh	2.69% before tax, 3.09% with tax	BDT 5 to 20 before VAT, plus BDT 1 for drop-offs after 4 PM
Sri Lanka	3.0%	LKR 15 to 65 before tax
Nepal	2.5%	NPR 5 to 30 before tax

Every country also deducts its own marketplace commission, so check the current rate card in your country's Daraz University before you set prices.

How Daraz pays you

Daraz pays only for orders marked Delivered, in weekly cycles. The day after a cycle closes, your statement appears in Seller Center (under MyIncome in Pakistan and Reports in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal). Five days after the cycle closes, the money goes to your bank by interbank funds transfer, or on the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday.

If a customer returns an item after you have been paid, Daraz deducts the amount in the next cycle and sends the product back to you. Daraz can also withhold payouts, in whole or in part, when a seller breaks its policies, or while a matter involving government or regulatory bodies is reviewed.

Common problems and fixes

Payout lower than the order total. Check the statement for commission, payment and handling fees, penalties, returns from earlier cycles and shipping differences caused by wrong weights or dimensions.
1% tax deducted in Pakistan. Update your CNIC or NTN through Seller Support, and if you are a Tier-1 retailer, register and stay active as a sales tax filer. Daraz checks the active taxpayer list every Monday.
Penalties for cancellations or late orders. Keep cancellations below 1% and on-time processing above 90% over 90 days to stay exempt.
Charged twice for shipping. Joining Free Shipping Max while running seller-funded free shipping means paying both, which Daraz itself advises against.
Stuck in Free Shipping Max. You must stay in for at least 30 days, then opt out manually in Seller Center, and you cannot leave during a campaign before that period ends.
Products rejected. Recheck the Product Listing Policy, the image guidelines and the prohibited items list in Daraz University, and confirm the category.
Payments held. Keep signed airway bills for three months and answer compliance requests quickly, since Daraz can hold payouts until an issue is resolved.
Changing bank details. Follow Daraz University's Guide to Updating Bank Details, which lists the documents to upload.
