Understanding Flipkart’s fee structure is essential before pricing products. Fees vary by category, price band and fulfilment method.
Main fee types
| Fee | What it is |
|---|---|
| Commission | A percentage of the selling price, by category |
| Fixed fee | A per-order fee based on price band |
| Collection fee | Payment processing (may differ for prepaid and COD) |
| Shipping fee | Based on weight and distance (local, zonal, national) |
| Reverse shipping | For returns |
| GST on fees | Charged on Flipkart’s fees |
Flipkart updates its rate card periodically; check the current one in Seller Hub.
