Pagely vs Mercado Livre: stop paying 14% to be invisible in your own sale

On Mercado Livre, the customer is theirs. On your Pagely store, the customer is yours — and the fee is a fraction.

ref. Mercado Livre →

Summary

Mercado Livre charges 11% to 17% per sale on Clássico (more on Premium), plus a fixed R$ 6 fee and shipping. Pagely charges 4.25% + the payment gateway fee (Stripe or Asaas — between ~1% on PIX and ~5% on card), no monthly fee. On any sale, you pay less. More importantly: the brand, the customer and the margin stay with you, not the marketplace.

Questions

  • How much do I save leaving Mercado Livre?

    On a R$ 100 sale, ML takes R$ 11 to R$ 17 (Clássico/Premium commission) + R$ 6 (fixed fee under R$ 79) = R$ 17 to R$ 23. On Pagely you pay R$ 4.25 (4.25%) + your chosen gateway fee (~R$ 1 PIX, ~R$ 5 card). **Less than a third**. On high-ticket items, the gap becomes hundreds per sale.

  • But Mercado Livre has organic traffic, my landing doesn't.

    True. That's why Pagely is built for paid-traffic sellers: you buy the click on Meta or TikTok and send it straight to the landing. If you depend 100% on ML organic traffic today, Pagely is a complement, not a replacement.

  • Can I use Pagely and Mercado Livre at the same time?

    Yes — and that's the recommended early strategy. Keep ML for price-shoppers, use Pagely to build brand with paid traffic. When Pagely beats margin, scale down ML.
