Pending Order Limit (POL) Policy

3.1K Published on June 23, 2022

What is Pending Order Limit (POL)?

Pending Order Limit (POL) is a defined number of pending orders that the seller can have. When pending order limit is reached their SKUs will be deactivated and no new orders (drop shipping) will be received. However, they can still process all previously received orders. POL will not reset at 12 midnight daily.

Sellers will received a notification via Seller Center if they reached their POL.


What orders are counted in POL?
  • Only PENDING orders received in Seller Center account

  • EXCLUSION: 
    • Orders that are under FBL (Fulfillment by Lazada)

    • All orders at other statuses (Ready to Ship, Shipped, Cancelled, etc.)


How does this work?

1. For non-GSKA/KA Marketplace Sellers whose age is >90 days, POL is x7 of daily orders received from previous week or default of 150, whichever is higher.
Example: If the seller’s average order from the previous week is 10, then their POL will be 150.
2. Default POL of GSKA/KA and LazMall Seller is 10K.

3. New Seller POL (<90 day age) = OVL which is 150.
Example: If it is a new seller (<90 days) their POL will be equal to their OVL (150).

4. Flash Sales and Crazy Deal Sellers are exempted to POL policy (reset on a weekly basis)
