Trendyol Commission Explained: Plus Tariffs, Advantageous Product Labels and Your Real Margin

How does Trendyol commission work with Plus tariffs and product labels?

Trendyol commission starts with a base rate set by category, brand and seller level. On top of that, Trendyol offers product-level commission tariffs: if your commission base price matches a tariff price, you pay the lower rate for that tier. The Plus tariff does the same for Trendyol Plus orders only.

I have worked on e-commerce growth since 2012, and marketplace sellers ask me one question more than any other. "If I get the advantageous product label, will my commission drop?" The honest answer is: not by itself. The label rewards a price. The commission follows the tariff tier that price lands on.

This guide explains how Trendyol commission tariffs, the Plus tariff and the advantageous product labels fit together. Every rule here comes from the official Seller Knowledge Center on Trendyol Akademi, which is in Turkish. So I also give the Turkish screen names, because that is what you will see in the panel. If you want the discount mechanics instead, read my Trendyol discount types guide.

What is the difference between a commission rate and a commission tariff?

They are two different layers, and mixing them up breaks your margin model. The commission rate is the base layer. According to the official Trendyol commissions page, it varies by product category, brand and the seller's commercial level. The rates also include VAT.

You find the base rates in the seller panel under Commercial Terms (Ticari Şartlar), inside the Commission and Payment Term table. That screen also offers a PDF with the rates for categories you do not sell in yet.

A commission tariff, on the other hand, is a product-level offer on top of the base rate. In plain words, Trendyol tells you: "Price this item here, and your commission drops to this level." So a tariff is an option, not an obligation.

Finally, keep the Platform Service Fee separate. The same official page describes it as a fixed fee per shipment. Commission, by contrast, is a percentage of the sale. In your margin sheet, these two belong on separate lines.

What is the commission base price, and why does it matter?

The commission base price (komisyona esas fiyat) is the price Trendyol uses to calculate your commission. For pricing tools, Trendyol deducts only the discounts that you fund as the seller. As a result, the price a shopper sees and your commission base price are often different numbers.

Here is a simple way to picture it. Say you and Trendyol split a discount fifty-fifty. The shopper sees the full discount. However, your commission base price drops only by your half. So your own share decides whether you reach a tariff tier.

The official product updates page on Trendyol Akademi states this rule directly. For tools such as flash products and advantageous product labels, Trendyol calculates the reference price and the commission base price after deducting seller-funded discounts only. The same update notes that the "lowest price of the last 30 days" label uses the price the shopper sees.

In short, you need to track at least two prices per product. First, the shopper price. Second, the commission base price. Trendyol commission tariffs look at the second one.

In practice, I recommend a simple sheet with both prices side by side. That way, you see which tier a co-funded campaign will land on before it goes live. It also gives your team one shared source for pricing discussions.

How do product commission tariff tiers work?

Product Commission Tariffs (Ürün Komisyon Tarifeleri) give one product several price levels. Each level has its own commission rate. The lower the price, the lower the rate. Trendyol's own example on its Plus page shows the structure clearly.

• Trendyol sale price of 100 TL with 20% commission.
• First tier: 95 TL with 19% commission.
• Second tier: 87 TL with 17% commission.
• Third tier: 73 TL with 11% commission.

These numbers are Trendyol's illustration, not your real tiers. Your products will show their own levels. Still, the Trendyol commission logic holds: Trendyol gives up part of its commission in exchange for a more competitive price.

Also, according to recent Akademi updates, the Product Commission Tariffs screen now shows a "Recommended Product" tag. It highlights items with a high sales opportunity. So when you review tariffs, starting with recommended products saves time.

Variants can differ too. The official FAQ says offers in the tariffs can vary between variants of the same product. In other words, the black and the red version of one item may not share the same commission.

What is the Plus Commission Tariff, and who does it apply to?

The Plus Commission Tariff lets you set a special price for Trendyol Plus members and work with a Plus commission rate on those orders. The official Plus Commission Tariffs page says you reach the screen through Promotion and Price, then Plus Commission Tariffs (Promosyon & Fiyat > Plus Komisyon Tarifeleri).

For every product, the screen gives you four data points:

• Trendyol sale price.
• The price the customer sees.
• Commission base price and commission for non-Plus customers.
• Plus commission base price and Plus commission.

Those four lines let you read the commission gap at a glance. Above all, compare the last two lines side by side. That is where you see how differently one product can perform on a Plus order versus a regular order.

However, not every product will show a Plus tariff. The official page explains that an algorithm picks the eligible products, so the list changes. If a product has no Plus tariff and you still want a Plus-only price, you can use the Create Discount and Campaigns screens instead.

Which orders get the Plus commission rate?

The Plus tariff applies only to orders placed by Trendyol Plus members. When a non-member buys the same product, the regular commission logic applies. So your Trendyol commission model needs two customer segments, not one.

What happens when a Plus order does not match the Plus tariff price? The official page sets a clear order of fallbacks:

1. If the Plus commission base price matches the Plus tariff price, you pay the Plus tariff rate.
2. If it does not match, or the product has no Plus tariff, Trendyol checks whether the price matches a Product Commission Tariff tier.
3. If that also fails, the base rate from the commission table applies.

This fallback matters more than most sellers think. For example, your Plus price may miss the Plus tier but still land on a regular product tier. In that case, you still pay less than the base rate.

There is one more detail. You do not have to enter a price on the Plus tariff screen at all. If a Plus-only promotion brings your Plus commission base price down to the tariff level, you still get that tariff rate. In other words, the screen is one route to the tier, not the only one.

How do you enter a Plus price in the seller panel?

There are three ways, and all of them start on the same screen. First, use the sorting and filter fields to find your product. Then review the Plus tariff range. After that, pick one of these methods:

1. Tick the price box and use "Update Selected" (Seçilenleri Güncelle).
2. Type the price you want under "Update Price" (Fiyat Güncelle).
3. Upload prices in bulk with an Excel file.

Products with a Plus-only price appear highlighted in green on the screen. That visual cue helps you keep track of which items now run on two prices.

My advice: skip the bulk Excel upload in the first week. Instead, set a few prices by hand and check the commission deducted on the resulting orders. Once the logic checks out, move to bulk updates. That way, one wrong column cannot hit hundreds of products at once.

According to an Akademi update, you can also create Plus-only discounts on the Discounts page. The path is Seller Panel, then Discounts, then Discount Audience, then Trendyol Plus Customers Only. This is a practical option for products that do not show up on the tariff screen.

What limits apply when you set a Plus price?

Your Plus price cannot exceed the Trendyol sale price, and it cannot exceed the tariff price. The system takes the lower of the two as the ceiling. The official page gives two examples.

In the first, the sale price is 7,400 TL and the Plus tariff requires 4,900 TL. So the maximum you can enter is 4,900 TL. In the second, the sale price is 4,800 TL and the tariff price is 4,900 TL. Here the ceiling becomes 4,800 TL.

Shoppers see this price on the storefront with the label "Trendyol Plus'a Özel Fiyat", meaning a special price for Plus members. Trendyol recommends that the Plus price sits meaningfully below the price you offer everyone else. After all, a tiny gap does not feel like a special offer.

That said, balance matters for your Trendyol commission and your margin alike. If the gap is too small, the Plus tag does not persuade anyone. If it is too large, your margin on Plus orders melts away. So before you set a Plus price, put your unit cost, your shipping share and the commission difference in one view.

To check the gap between two prices as a percentage, try my discount calculator. It shows the ratio in seconds.

How do promotions interact with Plus and regular prices?

This is where most sellers lose track of the commission gap. The official page sets three rules, and entering a Plus price without knowing them is risky.

• Promotions for all customers affect both the Plus price and the regular price.
• Plus-only promotions run on the regular price and apply to Plus orders.
• If you set a Plus-only price, the storefront shows that price first, and Plus-only promotions do not stack on top of it.

The third rule matters most in daily work. If a product already has a Plus price and you also open a Plus promotion, shoppers will not see that promotion. So using two tools to discount the same segment is wasted effort.

On the other hand, a discount for all customers also pulls your Plus price down. Your Plus commission base price may then fall further than you planned. Opening a store-wide discount without doing the math can quietly erode your Plus margin.

Therefore, flag every product with a Plus price in a separate column of your promotion calendar. Before any general campaign, check both prices for those items together.

How does Trendyol commission change in real pricing scenarios?

Trendyol's example table on the Plus page explains the topic better than any summary. In it, the sale price is 100 TL, the Plus price is 70 TL, and the Plus tariff rate is 9%. The table below condenses part of that official example.

Look at the fourth row. There is no Plus price, yet the Plus promotion brings the commission base price to 80 TL. That price misses the Plus tier. However, it matches a regular product tier, so the rate becomes 17%.

The last row shows what co-funding does. When Trendyol pays half the discount, your commission base price drops by only 10 TL. As a result, the commission lands at 19%.

What is the advantageous product label, and does it cut your commission?

The advantageous product label is a visibility badge for products priced inside a specific range. The label on its own does not lower your commission. What lowers it is the price you set to earn the label, if that price matches a commission tariff tier.

According to the official Advantageous Product Labels page, there are three labels. Ranked by price range from least to most, they are Advantageous Product, Very Advantageous Product and Super Advantageous Product.

The label uses the single-item sale price that shoppers see on the storefront. Trendyol says the label can increase product views and, with them, the conversion rate. Note the word "can": it is a possibility, not a promise.

So where do you see the commission difference? According to the Akademi updates, the Advantageous Product Labels screen now shows the commission for ceiling prices. That means you see your commission at that price while you review the label offer. Consequently, you can weigh visibility against margin at the moment of decision.

The same update also changed how the screen displays ranges. Instead of "120 to 110 TL", it now shows "X TL and below". It also added an automatic "apply until the end of the tariff" option.

Which screens change the price that counts for the label?

You do not control the label price from one screen. The official page says every panel screen that changes a price affects the price that counts for the label. Here is the list:

• Single or bulk Excel updates on the Product Commission Tariffs page.
• Single price updates in the Product List.
• Excel updates on the Bulk Product Operations page.
• Automatic Pricing rules you define for a product.
• Prices you commit when you join a campaign on the Campaigns page.
• Discounts from the Create Discount page that apply directly when the product can be bought on its own.

This list carries a warning. If an automatic pricing rule pushes the price outside the label range, the label disappears. The official page says so explicitly.

Also, you can update the price of one variant or all variants for the label. If you want to remove a label, you simply revert the scheduled price entries.

For the calculation, the algorithm looks at all price movements over a certain period. However, campaign prices, labelled prices and flash prices carry less weight. Therefore, one deep campaign price does not drag next week's label range down by the same amount.

Why does a Plus price never earn the advantageous label?

Because the label logic ignores Plus prices. The official Plus page says it plainly: even if a Plus price falls inside an advantageous label range, the product does not get the label.

This rule breaks a common plan. Many sellers think, "If I set my Plus price at the label level, I get both the Plus rate and the label." That does not work. For the label, your regular price has to fall inside the range.

A Plus price also leaves several other systems untouched:

• It does not change the price history that pricing tools use.
• It does not affect the Buybox algorithm.
• It does not change the "lowest price of the last 30 days" history.

This is actually an opportunity. A Plus price lets you reward loyal shoppers without damaging your general price history. Your regular price stays high, and your reference price stays where it was.

Still, do not count on a Plus price to win the Buybox. When you compete with other sellers on the same item, the regular price decides. In short, a Plus price is a loyalty tool, not a competitive one.

When do Trendyol commission tariffs refresh?

Trendyol publishes the Plus Commission Tariffs every Tuesday at 08:00. According to the official FAQ, advantageous product labels also refresh weekly. So you need a weekly decision rhythm.

A recent Akademi update added another layer. In some periods, Trendyol now sends Product and Plus Commission Tariffs for two separate windows of three and four days, instead of one weekly batch. In busy campaign weeks, that doubles the number of decisions you make.

The routine I set up with my team is simple. New offers arrive on Tuesday morning. We finish the margin check before noon. By the end of the day, we know which products join a tariff. That way, you do not miss the first hours of the week.

Remember that label offers also change from week to week. According to the official page, a product in the program this week may drop out next week. So instead of rolling last week's decision forward, review it again every week.

If your store has a large catalogue, prioritise. Best sellers and high-margin products come first; the long tail comes after.

Does a lower Trendyol commission actually raise profit?

Not always, because a lower commission comes with a lower price. If you join a tariff without checking what stays in your pocket, revenue can grow while profit shrinks.

Let's run a quick calculation with Trendyol's own example tiers. I only deduct commission here, so product cost, shipping and service fees stay out of it.

• 100 TL at 20% commission: you keep 80 TL.
• 95 TL at 19% commission: you keep 76.95 TL.
• 87 TL at 17% commission: you keep 72.21 TL.
• 73 TL at 11% commission: you keep 64.97 TL.
• 70 TL Plus price at 9% commission: you keep 63.70 TL.

The rate almost halves, yet the amount you keep per sale still falls. In other words, a tariff pays off only if the extra volume closes that gap.

To run this with your own numbers, use my percentage calculator. Since commission rates include VAT, the VAT calculator also helps you split the tax share out.

Which products should join a commission tariff?

Tariffs make the most sense for products with a strong gross margin and price-sensitive demand. On thin-margin items, the commission cut often cannot cover the price drop.

I use a simple split:

• Traffic products: items that bring shoppers in and face heavy price comparison. Here, labels and tariffs buy visibility.
• Profit products: items with healthy margins and repeat buyers. Here, a Plus price usually makes more sense.
• Clearance products: end-of-season or slow-moving stock. Here, even the deepest tier can be acceptable.

Also think in baskets. If a tariff item brings a shopper in and a second item joins the cart, the whole order can be profitable even with a thin first-item margin. I explain that setup in my article on second-item discounts and average order value.

Brand perception is another variable. An item that always sells at the deepest tier can start to look like a "cheap product" to shoppers. For premium brands, keep that risk in view.

How do you measure tariff performance?

Trendyol's own report is the right place to start. According to an Akademi update, you find the Product Commission Tariffs Report under Reports, then Promotion and Price, then Price.

The report shows you three things:

1. How your product commission tariffs perform.
2. Sales with and without a tariff, compared.
3. Your commission savings.

However, commission savings alone do not measure success. Next to the savings, write down the cost of the price cut. The real question is simple: did net profit during the tariff period beat the period without it?

For that, I track weekly units, average selling price and the amount kept per sale in one sheet for each product. If you also want the conversion view, the conversion rate calculator lets you compare weeks with and without a label.

Ad spend belongs in the picture too. If you advertise a tariff product in the same week, separating the two effects gets hard. I compare the ad options in my guide to Trendyol ads for sellers.

What mistakes do sellers make with commission tariffs?

The mistakes I see most often look alike. Almost all of them come from treating two prices as one.

• Treating the shopper price as the commission base price.
• Expecting a Plus price to earn the advantageous label.
• Forgetting that an automatic pricing rule can remove the label.
• Ignoring that a discount for all customers also lowers the Plus price.
• Assuming every variant runs on the same commission.
• Confusing commission savings with profit growth.
• Assuming last week's tariff still applies this week.

The common fix is a short checklist. Every Tuesday, when new offers arrive, go through the points above one by one.

Also, share this list with everyone on the team, because the person who changes a price is often not the person who checks the tariff. A shared list closes that gap between two screens.

Finally, keep compliance in mind. Sellers who break price or campaign rules can face penalties. I cover that side in my guide to Trendyol violation points.

How do coupons and seller levels affect the commission decision?

Coupons and seller levels do not set your Trendyol commission tariff directly. Still, they shape the context of every pricing decision. A coupon lowers what the shopper pays and, depending on who funds it, affects your margin.

The key point is not to stack costs blindly. If a tariff price, a seller coupon and a general discount all hit the same product, the total discount gets out of hand. I explain the coupon options in my guide to Trendyol coupons for sellers.

Your commercial level can also change your base rate. The official FAQ says commission rates can vary by commercial level. So over the long run, moving up a level may give you a more lasting commission advantage than weekly tariffs. You can see how levels work in my guide to Trendyol seller levels.

In short, a tariff is a short-term lever and a level is a long-term one. Planning both together is the healthiest approach. Even so, treat any level effect as a possibility to monitor, not a guaranteed outcome.

How can you turn Trendyol commission decisions into a system?

Read correctly, Trendyol commission tariffs are a strong margin tool. Read wrongly, they turn into a trap where revenue grows and profit melts. The difference is making the same kind of decision, the same way, every week.

You can build the system in four steps. First, set a floor for each product: the net amount you will not go below. Then compare Tuesday's tariffs against that floor. Next, evaluate the Plus price and the regular price separately. Finally, measure the result with the report.

With my team, we build this setup for marketplace sellers together with pricing, advertising and stock planning. That is because a commission decision never stands alone; ad budget and stock depth are part of the same equation. If you want to build this structure for your store, you can reach us through our e-commerce consulting page.

One last note: Trendyol updates these screens and rules often. Everything here reflects the current Seller Knowledge Center pages. Before you decide, always check the live screen in your own panel.
