What you get
The parts that matter most, all in the same system as your orders, stock and payments.
Margin
A marketplace takes a commission on every sale. Your own website does not.
The customer
On a marketplace the customer belongs to the marketplace. On your website, the customer is yours to message again.
The brand
Your own site looks like you, not like a listing beside a cheaper competitor.
Payouts
Marketplaces settle on their schedule. Your own checkout settles to you.
Traffic
A marketplace brings shoppers. Your website needs ads, social media and search to bring them.
Control
Prices, offers, delivery and returns on your own terms.
Use Daraz for reach, your website for the relationship
Daraz is a good place to be found by shoppers who have never heard of you. It is a poor place to build a brand, because you compete on price beside similar listings, pay commission on every order and never own the customer's contact.
Your own website is where repeat customers come back, where your ads send people, and where the full margin stays with you. Most growing brands keep both: marketplace for discovery, website for everything after the first order.

Questions people ask
What are the best online selling platforms in Nepal?
Daraz is the largest marketplace. For selling under your own brand, a store platform such as Blanxer gives you your own website with Nepali payments and couriers built in.
Is it better to sell on Daraz or on my own website?
Daraz brings shoppers but takes a commission and keeps the customer. Your own website keeps the margin and the customer. Many brands use Daraz for discovery and their own site for repeat sales.
Can I sell on Daraz and my own website at the same time?
Yes. Keep your own website as the home of your brand and your repeat customers, and treat the marketplace as one more channel.
