They charge only 2% of the payment fee and a cross-border commission fee of 1% to 2%. This easy gliding made the brands outside of the country available to the buyers, which eventually made them grow in the business.
Not Being Stuck in the Paperwork
When companies find it difficult to ease up, either of their interface or the difficulties that happen between them and the customers, which may occur because of government policies or their inner jumble of rules and regulations, making it difficult for the smaller companies to connect and sell their items. Lazada works another way around. Applying for the ‘business license’ costs around 1000$, which takes a week to approve, and then you have to make a Payoneer card, your account on their site as a seller and that’s it, you’re done. All of this procedure can be done online, easy right?
