How is Trendyol commission calculated?
Trendyol commission is calculated on the product's VAT-inclusive sale price at a category-specific rate, and the commission invoice carries VAT on top. Your payout is the sale amount minus commission, shipping and any service or transaction fee.
Commission = Sale price × Commission rate
Payout = Sale price − Commission (incl. VAT) − Shipping − Service fee
Net profit = Payout − Product cost − Net VAT payable
Worked example
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sale price (incl. VAT) | ₺1,000.00 |
| Commission 18% (+20% VAT) | ₺216.00 |
| Shipping (incl. VAT) | ₺90.00 |
| Payout | ₺694.00 |
| Product cost (incl. VAT) | ₺500.00 |
Here the payout is ₺694; after product cost and net VAT the real profit is noticeably lower. The calculator also estimates net VAT (output VAT on the sale minus input VAT on purchases and fees).
What changes your commission
- Category: electronics, fashion, cosmetics and home goods carry different rates — take the current rate from your seller panel.
- Campaigns: joining sale events or funding coupons can raise the effective commission.
- Shipping deals: contracted carrier prices depend on desi and weight — check with the desi calculator.
- Return rate: return shipping costs hit profitability directly.
Trendyol service fees and shipping
On top of commission, Trendyol may deduct a per-order platform service fee and contracted shipping from your payout. Check current amounts in your seller panel and enter them in the “Service fee” and “Shipping” fields.
Tips for profitable pricing
- Set a target margin first, then work the price backwards (profit margin calculator).
- Fixed costs (shipping, service fees) weigh far more on low-priced items; build bundles that lift basket size.
- Pick the right VAT rate — a wrong rate skews net profit by several points (VAT calculator).
- Balance marketplaces with your own site: there is no marketplace commission in your own store and the customer data stays with you.
