What changed on 9 February 2026
Lazada Singapore increased commission rates by 3 percentage points across both Marketplace and LazMall listings starting 9 February 2026. For a seller in a general Marketplace category, reported rates moved from 6.5% to 10% before GST. Electronics moved from 5.0% to 8.5% before GST, per sgpaynowqr.com’s category breakdown.
This is not Lazada Singapore’s first commission increase recently. sgpaynowqr.com’s reporting frames it as the third adjustment in roughly two years, after increases in May 2024 and August 2025. A general-category seller who started at 4% two years ago is now reportedly looking at 10%, more than double, across three separate increases rather than one large jump.
The SPA programme as the stated alternative
Sellers who join Lazada’s Seller Promo+ Advantage programme reportedly keep the pre-increase commission band, 5.0% to 6.5%. They pay a flat 4% service fee on top instead of absorbing the 3 point rise. Whether that trade is cheaper depends entirely on the seller’s actual category rate and order volume. A seller already at the low end of the general-category band pays close to the same total either way. A seller who would otherwise land at the high end of the new 10% rate benefits more clearly from SPA’s fixed 4% add-on.
Nobody should join SPA on the strength of this article alone. The programme likely carries its own terms around campaign participation and exposure commitments beyond the fee structure, details this ledger did not independently confirm.
Why the two-source agreement still is not primary confirmation
Both sources describe the same numbers with no visible disagreement, which is a meaningfully stronger signal than the conflicting Shopee reporting covered elsewhere on this site. Agreement between two secondary sources is still not the same as a screenshot from Lazada’s own Seller Center. Category tables, in particular, are the kind of detail that gets miscopied or goes stale fastest in aggregator coverage.
A seller relying on this figure for a pricing decision should treat 10% and 8.5% as strong estimates, not confirmed inputs, until checked against their own account.
What to do next
Log into Lazada Seller Center under Seller Settings, then Commission, to see the account’s actual category rate under the new structure. Compare that number against the SPA programme’s 4% flat fee plus its lower commission band before deciding whether to enroll.
Check the account’s real category rate before running any margin model on the 10% figure.

Two independent seller-facing publications report the same effective date, the same 3 percentage point figure, and the same SPA exemption, which is stronger corroboration than a single source. Neither publication links directly to a public, unauthenticated Lazada page, so every row above is marked INFERRED rather than VERIFIED. Lazada’s own Seller Center commission pages, referenced by both publications, sit behind seller login.
