Attention Lazada Sellers!
As part of Lazada’s commitment to continuously improving its platform and services, there will be an update to the commission rates for both Marketplace and LazMall sellers in Malaysia. These changes will officially take effect on May 21, 2026.
At Zetpy, we want to ensure you are well-prepared for these adjustments so you can manage your margins and pricing strategies effectively.
What is Changing?
Lazada is revising its category-based commission structure. These fees are charged on the item price (minus seller-funded discounts) and are subject to the prevailing SST.
1. Marketplace Commission Rates
For general Marketplace sellers, the commission rates are being adjusted across various categories. While many categories remain competitive, some have seen an increase to better reflect the platform’s support and traffic generation.
2. LazMall Commission Rates
LazMall sellers, who benefit from premium placement and the “100% Authentic” branding, will also see a revision in their specific commission tiers. These rates are typically slightly higher than Marketplace rates due to the additional marketing exposure and consumer trust associated with the LazMall badge.
How is the Commission Calculated?
To help you budget, remember the standard formula:
Commission Fee = (Item Price – Seller Promotions) × Commission Rate (%) + SST
Note: Platform-funded vouchers (vouchers paid for by Lazada) do not reduce the item price for commission calculation purposes.
Key Takeaways for Zetpy Users:

Review Your Pricing: With the new rates kicking in on May 21, now is the time to use Zetpy’s Bulk Price Update tool to ensure your margins remain healthy.
