How to Sell on Daraz: Seller Account, Fees and Your First Listing

To sell on Daraz, sign up on Daraz Seller Center with your phone number, add your email and pickup address, then upload your ID and a bank document for verification. Opening a shop is free. Daraz deducts a category commission, a 2.25 percent payment fee and a small handling fee from each delivered order, and pays you weekly.

Every fee and rule below comes from Daraz’s own seller pages, checked on 27 September 2026. Daraz changes rates from time to time, so each section links to the official page. Check it before you set your prices.

What do you need before you open a Daraz seller account?

Gather these before you start, so verification does not stall halfway. The Daraz seller sign-up page lists two document sets:

• Individual sellers: your identity card (CNIC) and a bank document for the account you want paid into.
• Corporate sellers: a business registration document and a bank document.

You also need a mobile number, an email address you check daily, and accurate pickup and return addresses. Use a bank account in the same name as the seller account. A mismatch between the two is a common reason payouts get held.

How to open a Daraz seller account, step by step

Daraz describes sign-up as four steps, most of which take a few minutes each:

1. Sign up on Daraz Seller Center with your phone number. If you already have an account, log in and continue where you left off.
2. Add your contact email, then your pickup and return warehouse addresses. Daraz asks you to enter these carefully, since couriers use them for every order.
3. Submit your ID and bank account details for verification.
4. Upload products and start taking orders once your store is approved.

The Sell on Daraz page also lists a shortcut: send an SMS with “Daraz” followed by a space and your name to 7575, and Daraz contacts you to register. After approval, the Store Builder tool lets you add a logo, cover image and banners.

How much does Daraz charge sellers?

Opening a shop and listing products costs nothing. Daraz earns when you sell. Its Payment Policy says that for every order, prepaid or cash on delivery, you are paid after these deductions:

• Marketplace commission: a percentage of the item value, set by product category.
• Payment fee: 2.25 percent of the order value.
• Item handling fee: Rs 10 for items priced up to Rs 500, Rs 15 up to Rs 1,000, Rs 20 up to Rs 2,000, and Rs 60 above that, per item.
• Pickup fee, if you use Daraz pickup: Rs 30 per package under 8 kg and Rs 120 for bulky packages of 8 kg or more, in cities with Daraz pickup coverage.
• Penalties, if they apply: for cancellations, late dispatch and quality returns (more on these below).

What are Daraz commission rates by category?

Daraz publishes its rates as a PDF on the Marketplace Commission Structure page. The current file, dated May 2026, notes that new rates for selected categories took effect on 1 June 2026 and that all rates exclude tax. A few examples from it:

• Fashion (women, men and kids): 18.50 percent.
• Watches, sunglasses and jewellery: 20 percent.
• Most health and beauty lines, such as skin care and hair care: 14.54 percent.
• Kitchen and dining: 14.80 percent.
• Mobile accessories: 12.90 percent.
• Mobile phones: 3 percent. Laptops: 2 percent.

Rates go down to six levels of sub-category, so find your exact product in the PDF instead of relying on the top-level figure. The category you pick when you list decides the commission you pay.

Is there a new seller offer?

Daraz’s sign-up page lists a new seller package that includes 0 percent platform commission for your first 30 days, plus up to 90 days of support from an onboarding specialist. Offers change, so confirm the terms when you register. Use that window to test products, not to set prices you cannot keep once commission starts.

A quick fee example on one order

This is a hypothetical example to show the method, not a real order. Say you sell one kurta in the Fashion category for Rs 1,500:

• Commission at 18.50 percent: Rs 277.50.
• Payment fee at 2.25 percent: Rs 33.75.
• Handling fee for an item between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000: Rs 20.
• Pickup fee, if Daraz collects the parcel: Rs 30.

That is Rs 361.25 in Daraz deductions, before tax on those fees, leaving about Rs 1,139 from the Rs 1,500 sale. Your product cost, packaging and any ads still come out of that. To turn this into a full profit check, see Is Ecommerce Profitable in Pakistan in 2026?, which works through a complete example.

How and when does Daraz pay sellers?

Daraz pays for orders marked Delivered in Seller Center, and settles them weekly. According to its Payment Policy, if the payment cycle ends on day t, your statement appears under MyIncome on day t+1, and the money reaches your bank by interbank transfer on day t+5. If that date falls on a weekend or public holiday, payment moves to the next business day.

Two rules matter here. If a buyer returns an item after you were paid, Daraz deducts that amount in the next cycle and sends the product back to you. And to stay eligible for payment, keep a copy of the signed airway bill for every parcel you hand over, for at least three months.

How do you create your first Daraz listing?

In Seller Center, open Products and choose Add Products. Then fill in the listing with care, since the listing does most of your selling:

1. Choose the most specific category that fits. It controls where buyers find you and which commission rate applies.
2. Write a clear title: product type, brand if you are authorised to use it, key feature, size or colour. Leave out hype words.
3. Add sharp photos on a plain background, taken yourself where possible, showing the product from several angles.
4. Write a description that answers what buyers ask: material, size, what is in the box, care and warranty.
5. Set a price that covers the fees above, then set your stock level and submit.

Daraz recommends uploading at least 10 products, since a wider range helps buyers who land on your store. Before you list a branded item, check the Restricted Brands list. You cannot sell those brands unless you are an authorised distributor, and some need lab test reports.

How do you avoid Daraz penalties in your first month?

Daraz charges penalties as a share of the order value, capped at Rs 500 per order and at 30 percent of your payout. Sellers with good performance are exempt. The three to watch:

• Cancelling orders: 30 percent of the item value. Exempt if your cancellation rate stays below 1 percent over 90 days. Keep stock counts accurate so you never sell what you do not have.
• Late processing: 1 percent of the item value. Exempt if you process more than 90 percent of orders on time over 90 days. Pack and mark orders ready every day.
• Quality returns that are your fault: 30 percent of the item value. Exempt below a 1 percent quality return rate. Accurate photos and honest descriptions prevent most of these.

Answer buyer questions in Daraz chat quickly, too. Response time shapes your store rating, and a fast, honest answer often wins the sale. The Daraz Seller Help Center covers chat rules, claims, returns and sales tax withholding in more detail.

Is Daraz the right place to start?

For most beginners in Pakistan, yes. Buyers are already there, delivery and payment collection are handled, and opening a shop is free. The trade-off is competition on price inside the marketplace and commissions that can reach 20 percent in some categories.
