Daraz is Pakistan's largest local marketplace, so many new online sellers start there. Registration steps, documents, fees and category rules are set by Daraz and can change, so always follow the current instructions in Daraz Seller Center. This guide covers what to prepare and how to start well.
1. Decide what you will sell
Pick products you can supply consistently. Check the category on Daraz: some categories have extra rules or require approval.
2. Prepare your details
Have your identity and business details, contact information and bank account details ready before you start the registration, and use the same information everywhere so verification goes smoothly.
3. Work out your numbers
Daraz charges commission and other fees, and you also pay for shipping, packaging and returns. Use our free Marketplace Fee & Profit Calculator with the current fees from your seller dashboard so you know your profit per order before you list.
4. Create good listings
- Use a clear title with the product name, brand, size and colour.
- Add sharp photos on a clean background.
- Write an honest description with specifications.
- Set a competitive price after checking similar products.
5. Handle orders and returns carefully
Pack well, dispatch on time and follow the return policy. Late dispatch and poor quality hurt your seller performance.
6. Use campaigns and ads wisely
Daraz runs campaigns and sponsored products. Join them when your margin allows it, and track the result instead of discounting blindly.
Documents and details to prepare
Requirements can change, so check Daraz Seller Center for the latest list. Sellers usually need identity details, a bank account in their name or business name, contact information and a pickup address. Businesses may also provide registration details. Prepare clear scans in advance to avoid delays.
Setting up your store well from day one
- Choose a store name that matches your brand.
- Add a logo and banner that look professional.
- Set accurate warehouse and return addresses.
- Write clear return and warranty information.
Your first ten listings
Start with products you know well and can keep in stock. For each listing, research the words buyers use, write a clear title, fill all attributes, add sharp images and set a price that leaves margin after commission. Ten good listings perform better than fifty weak ones.
The first month
- Ship every order on time to build ratings.
- Answer buyer questions quickly.
- Track which listings get views but no sales and improve them.
- Try a small sponsored ads budget on your best listing.
- Plan for the next Daraz campaign.
