Not necessarily, Your customer has several options, they can either:
Choose for the item to be delivered by Jumia at the address of their choice (home, office, etc.)
OR
Come and pick their order at a Pickup Station
OR
Ask you to deliver to the item to them (you then select one the two options above for yourself and then bring it to your customer)
The commission depends on the product category (e.g. groceries, appliances) and your level (e.g. Probation vs Captain). The commission varies from 2.5% on Mobile to 10% on Groceries. The average commission earned by Jumia agents is 6%.
Commission below Ksh 100,000 is paid through Mpesa and above Ksh100,000 through any Kenyan bank account. Make sure the phone number you indicate while Signing In is a registered Mpesa number. Nice deal?
