Free Shipping Max Payment FAQs

How to check your SOA



.

1. When will the 5.8% participation fee reflect in my payout?
The participation fee will reflect in the Account Statement on the same week that the item is credited to your payout.

2. Why is Free Shipping Max Charging for ALL successfully delivered items?

(1) Even if the items were not guided by Free Shipping Max, they enjoy the traffic and visibility benefits.

(2) Free Shipping Max vouchers still drive conversion for your shops.

3. Since the promo is available site wide, if I am sharing the Free Shipping Max promo with a different shop, will I still be charged the full 5.8% fee?
Yes, participation fee is charged at an item level.

4. Can I opt out of the program?

Yes, you can opt out any time after the 14-day lock-in period.

5. If my own Free Shipping promotion gets applied to the order, will the Free Shipping Max Program still charge 5.8% participation fee?
You will NOT be charged with 5.8% Participation Fee if your Seller Free Shipping gets applied to the order.

6. Is participation fee on top of Lazada's Commission Fee?
Yes. Commission fees and payment fees are charged separately from program participation fees.

7. If the buyer uses other promotions or discounts, what will the 5.8% participation fee be based on?
The 5.8% participation fee will be charged per item based on the final item sale price.

For example, if a product's base price is PHP 500, and the buyer applies a 10% discount voucher for PHP 50 off, the final item sale price will be PHP 450. The FSMax participation fee will then be 5.8% of PHP 450, which is PHP 26.1.

8. If the item is returned or fails delivery, am I still going to be charged the 5.8% participation fee?
You will NOT be charged the participation fee or the return shipping fee for failed deliveries.

For buyer-initiated returns, you may need to pay for the return shipping.

9. Why am I being charged even if my store is on Holiday Mode?

The charging period for Free Shipping Max orders is 1 week after the delivery date. Hence, even if you are on Holiday Mode, as long as you have a delivered order, you will be charged the participation fee.
