What is the standard rate of OTTO commission?
Last updated: 31 October 2026 · The MargenOptimierer app is in German. Button and menu names are shown exactly as you see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
The standard rate is the usual OTTO commission rate of a commission group, which MargenOptimierer calculates with when OTTO gives no clear rate for your item.
It comes from OTTO's assortment overview. The item then carries the label „Standardsatz“ (standard rate). You see it on the Marge (margin) and Produkte (products) pages.
Example: Standard rate for the oak table
Say a standard rate of 19% applies to the oak table. MargenOptimierer then subtracts 19 € of OTTO commission from a 100 € sale.
What else matters for the standard rate
The margin still counts
MargenOptimierer rates a margin with a standard rate like any other and colors it according to your target margin.
Entering your own rate
That isn't possible. MargenOptimierer stores the OTTO commission rates for all items.
