Prices are totally within the seller's control, you can assign competitive prices to your products and modify them at any time, and the changes will reflect immediately on the noon website. noon also offers you a great tool that recommends the most competitive prices based on the historical sales data of your products on noon and other platforms. Learn more about how to use the Price Optimization tool.
While determining or modifying your prices, you should always add the 5% VAT, the fees and the commissions.
Note:
-Fees and commissions vary according to the business model you'll be using
to sell your products (FBN or B2B).
-All noon fees and commissions are exclusive of VAT.
-Fees & commissions are calculated on the prices inclusive of VAT.
Determining prices for products sold using FBN:
1. First, determine the net revenue you'd like to generate from this sale, then add the VAT and noon fees to it.
To sell a book, for example, let's say that we'd like to have a net revenue of AED 100 exclusive of VAT.
2. Then calculate the fees & commissions (VAT inclusive) on the price excluded of VAT (AED 100).
For FBN there are three fees that currently apply;
(a) the FBN Fee, (b) the Commissions, (c) and the Weight Handling Fee (applicable to non-sort items): any size bigger than 30 cm and/or weight greater than 25 KG)
- FBN fee (6% on the selling price incl. of VAT, with min AED 2 and max AED 6)
- Books commission (10%): AED 10
- Weight Handling fee: Not applicable in this scenario as we are selling a book with dimensions that don't fall under non-sort.
- Remember that the noon fees and commissions are exclusive of VAT, so add the 5% VAT to them as well. And the total fees & commissions is = AED 16.80 (inclusive of VAT)
4. Add the total fees (AED 16.80) to the initial amount exclusive of VAT (AED 100):
- Total amount = AED 116.8 * 1.05
Therefore, AED 122.64 will be the price of your book when you list it on noon for sale via FBN. It is the price that customer will see on the website, feel free to round up the amount to AED 122.64 as it would be easier for customers to grasp.
Refer to the Fees & Commissions in UAE, KSA, or Egypt for a detailed break-down that will apply depending on the price of your product and the business model you'll be using.
Determining prices for products sold using Cross-dock B2B:
The following example explains how to price your products that are sold using cross-dock B2B.
1. First, determine the net revenue you'd like to generate from this sale, then add the VAT and fees to it.
In our book example, let's say that we'd like to have a net revenue of AED 100 exclusive of VAT.
2. Calculate the fees & commissions on your desired net revenue AED 100 (exclusive of VAT), for cross-dock B2B there are three fees that currently apply; the Crossdock Fee and the Commissions, and the Cross-dock fee:
- Books commission (10%): AED 10
- Cross-dock fee (drop-off): AED 10
- Remember that the noon fees and commissions are exclusive of VAT, so add the 5% VAT to them as well, and the total fees & commissions is = 21 AED (inclusive of VAT)
2. Add both the total fees (AED 21) to your desired selling price (AED 100 exclusive of VAT):
- Total amount = AED 121 * 1.05
Then, add the 5% VAT on the top of the price you calculated above so it will be AED 127.05 will be the the price of your book when you list it on noon for sale via B2B.
