Selling on Allegro, Poland's e-commerce giant, opens doors to a vast customer base. However, navigating the platform's fee structure is crucial for setting profitable pricing strategies. Let's understand how Allegro commission is calculated for different types of sales, empowering you to estimate fees and plan your pricing accordingly.
Allegro charges a commission fee on each sale, typically a percentage of the final sale price (including VAT). The exact commission rate can vary depending on several factors, including:
Product Category: Commission rates differ based on the product category you're selling in. You can find a detailed breakdown of current commission rates for each category on the Allegro Seller Centre
Sales Promotions: Allegro frequently hosts sales events with potentially reduced commission rates for participating sellers. Be sure to factor in any promotional discounts when calculating your commission.
Commission Calculator for Basic Estimation:
Unfortunately, Allegro doesn't offer a publicly available commission calculator tool. However, you can estimate your commission using the following formula:
Commission = Final Sale Price (including VAT) x Commission Rate
Example:
You sell a product on Allegro for PLN 100 (including VAT)
The commission rate for your product category is 10%.
Commission = PLN 100 x 10% = PLN 10
While the basic formula provides a starting point, keep in mind these additional commission factors:
Delivery Costs: For some categories, Allegro might charge an additional commission on the delivery cost. Refer to the relevant category fee information on the Seller Centre.
Allegro Ads: If you use Allegro Ads to promote your listings, the associated advertising costs are not included in the base commission calculation.
