Daraz seller account in Bangladesh: fees, commission and setup

How much does it cost to sell on Daraz?

Nothing to open the account, and roughly a fifth to a quarter of every sale once you start selling. Daraz charges no sign-up or listing fee. It takes its money from each delivered order instead: a category commission, a payment fee and a small handling fee per item. On a ৳900 saree or panjabi, that is about ৳217 as of June 2026.

So the real question isn't whether Daraz is free. It's whether your price still works after a fifth of it is gone. Price for the fees from your first listing, not after your first payout.

What do you need to open a Daraz seller account?

Less than most people think. You don't need a registered business or a trade licence to sell as an individual.

• As an individual: your National ID card (NID) and a cheque from your own bank account.
• As a business: your trade licence and a business bank cheque.
• Either way: a mobile number you answer, an email you check daily, your pickup address and a return address.

The one thing that stops most home sellers is the bank account. Daraz pays sellers by bank transfer, not to a personal bKash number, and the name on the account has to match your NID. Don't use a brother's or father's account; the names won't match and verification stalls. If you only use bKash today, open a bank account in your own name before you sign up.

How do you open a Daraz seller account, step by step?

With your documents ready, the form takes about half an hour.

• Sign up with your mobile number at sellercenter.daraz.com.bd or in the Daraz Seller Center app, and verify it with the SMS code.
• Add your email, shop name and addresses. Write the pickup and return addresses in full; returned parcels come back to the return address.
• Upload your NID or trade licence and the cheque, and enter the bank account for payouts.
• List your first products. Daraz suggests starting with at least 10, so the shop doesn't look empty. Each product is checked by Daraz's quality control before it goes live.
• Wait for verification. Daraz says sellers with correct documents are approved within about 24 hours.

The Seller Center login is the same address, sellercenter.daraz.com.bd.

How much commission does Daraz take in 2026?

It depends on the product category, and every rate on Daraz's card is quoted before 15% VAT. Daraz's current card, "BD Commission Rates – May 2026", took effect on 1 June 2026. Some rows from it, as WinningSeller listed them in October 2026:

The full card is a PDF in Daraz University, inside Seller Center. Look up your exact category before you set a price, and choose the category your product really belongs to: a wrong category changes the rate and hides the product from people browsing the right one.

Daraz can change rates with 14 days' notice, under its Marketplace Agreement, and commission is worked out on the listed price including taxes.

How much do you keep from a ৳450, ৳900 or ৳1,800 sale?

At the clothing rate (17.39% plus VAT), with the 3.09% payment fee and the handling fee. Delivery is left out because the buyer pays it.

For any category, use this:

You keep = price × (1 − commission rate × 1.15 − 0.0309) − handling fee. On Free Shipping Max, take off another 5% of the price, up to ৳300.

Two pricing rules follow from the table:

• Work backwards from what you need. If you need ৳700 in hand for a piece in the clothing category, list it near ৳925, not ৳750.
• Be careful under ৳500. The handling fee and commission eat a quarter of a cheap item. Bundle small pieces into sets so each order is worth more.

What do new Daraz sellers get?

A cheap first month, if you're ready for it:

• 0% platform commission for your first 30 days. You still pay the payment and handling fees.
• Free Shipping Max without its fee for up to 90 days.
• An incubation specialist for 90 days, to help with listings and campaigns.

Don't waste the free month on a half-built shop. Have your best products photographed, priced and in stock before your account goes live.

When does Daraz pay sellers?

Weekly, by bank transfer, and only for orders marked "Delivered". Daraz closes each weekly cycle, shows the statement in Seller Center's reports the next day, and sends the money to your bank five days after the cycle ends (the next working day if that's a holiday). Under the Marketplace Agreement, payment for an item starts no sooner than 7 days after delivery.

In practice, money from a sale reaches you one to two weeks after the buyer gets the parcel. If a buyer returns something after you've been paid, Daraz takes that amount out of your next payout and sends the item back to you. Keep the signed airway bill for every parcel for at least three months; it's your proof if a parcel goes missing.

Plan your cash for that gap, especially before Eid, when orders and material costs rise together. The Bangla sell-on-Daraz page still says sellers are paid monthly; the weekly cycle is the current rule.

Which mistakes cost new Daraz sellers money?

Most penalties come from one habit: listing something you can't actually send on time.

• Contacting buyers outside Daraz. The Marketplace Agreement makes a seller liable for ৳1,00,000 in compensation for contacting a Daraz customer directly. Don't put your Facebook page card in a Daraz parcel, and don't message buyers on WhatsApp.
• Cancelling an order yourself. The penalty is 20% of the product price, up to ৳400. The same applies to a return caused by poor quality. Sellers who keep cancellations under 1% over 90 days are let off.
• Handing parcels over late. After 48 hours, it's 1% of the price, rising to 5% if it keeps happening, unless 90% of your orders went out on time over the last 90 days.
• Collecting penalty points. At 12 points your products are hidden from search for 7 days. At 48 the account is closed. Ordering from your own shop, or getting relatives to, can cost up to 36 points at once.
• Running out of a one-off piece. If a handmade item sells on your Facebook page, take it off Daraz the same hour, or you'll be cancelling the Daraz order.

Is Daraz a good place to sell handmade work?

For some of it. Daraz suits products you can make again and again and keep in stock: panjabis, three-pieces, jute bags, candles, block prints. It suits one-of-a-kind pieces badly. Each listing needs quality checks, buyers search by price, and if a single piece sells elsewhere first, you take a cancellation penalty.

Many makers run a Facebook page, list repeatable lines on Daraz and keep their best pieces somewhere that sells on the story behind them. Our guide to where to sell handmade products in Bangladesh compares every option, how to sell handmade products online covers photos, pricing and couriers, and if you'd hoped to sell abroad, read whether Etsy is available in Bangladesh first.

JADUZ is one of those other places, and it's ours. We vet every maker before they list, market their work, collect the cash through the courier and pay makers out. Commission is charged on the item price only, never on delivery, and the current rate is in our maker terms. If your work is handmade, see how selling on JADUZ works.
