The team at Russia's largest online marketplace, Wildberries, has reduced the commission for sellers on some popular products by more than 6 times in anticipation of the start of the summer season. This was announced by the press service of the merged company Wildberries and Russ.
For sellers who deliver orders on their own (the "Showcase" sales model), the commission will be reduced from 18.5% to 3% for the following categories:
- Verandas and terraces
- Prefabricated utility buildings
- Log cabins
- Outdoor prefabricated toilets
- Prefabricated garages
- Prefabricated houses and bathhouses
- Septic tanks
In addition, the commission for the sale of garden tractors and riders will be reduced from 9.5% to 3%. As a reminder, "Showcase" is a sales model on Wildberries where sellers store goods in their own warehouse and deliver them to customers on their own. In this scenario, Wildberries is presented as a showcase for partners' products.
