How the numbers work
Most sellers who close a Daraz shop were profitable on paper the whole time. The gap between the spreadsheet and the bank account comes from four costs that never appear on the product page: category commission, payment collection, forward and reverse shipping, and the discount you fund during campaigns.
Category commission on Daraz generally sits between 5% and 15%. It is visible, predictable and easy to plan around. Sellers rarely fail because of it.
The cost that decides the business is return to origin. On cash-on-delivery orders in Pakistan, somewhere between 20% and 35% of parcels come back — refused at the door, address not found, or the buyer changed their mind while the parcel was in transit. You pay to ship it out and you pay to ship it back, and you have handled the item twice. At a 30% RTO rate, seventy paid orders have to carry the shipping cost of a hundred.
Take your total shipping spend for a month, forward and reverse, and divide it by the number of orders that were actually delivered and paid for. That figure — not the courier rate card — is your true shipping cost per sale. For most sellers it is 40% to 60% higher than the number they had been using.
Do the same with packaging, and include the units damaged in return transit that cannot be resold. Two return trips through a courier network is hard on a box.
Daraz campaign traffic is real and it moves volume. What sellers underestimate is that the discount is funded entirely by them, and that buyers acquired at campaign prices largely do not return at full price. Enter a campaign with a product that has margin to give, and keep your best-selling thin-margin item out of it.
Settlement arrives on a cycle after delivery is confirmed. You have already paid your supplier, your courier and your packaging by then. A shop can be genuinely profitable and still fail because the working capital ran out one reorder before the money landed. Plan stock for at least one full settlement cycle beyond your reorder point.
Before you list anything, run the number at a 30% RTO rate rather than your best case. If the product still clears a workable margin, it is worth stocking. If it only works when almost every parcel is accepted, it is not a Daraz product — it is a product that needs prepaid checkout, and that is a different business.
Before you ask
Commission varies by category, generally 5–15%, plus payment collection charges and a shipping fee that depends on weight and whether you use Daraz logistics. Promotional participation and voucher funding come out of your margin on top.
Enter your realistic RTO rate rather than an optimistic one. On cash-on-delivery in Pakistan, 20–35% of orders come back, and you pay forward and reverse shipping on each — this single number decides whether a Daraz business works.
Campaign traffic is real but the discount is funded by you, and buyers trained on campaign pricing stop paying full price. Join selectively with products that have margin to give, not with your thin-margin bestseller.
Settlement runs on a cycle after delivery confirmation, so cash is tied up for weeks while you have already paid for stock and shipping. Plan working capital for at least one full cycle beyond your reorder point.
