✦ Try Catalog Maker FreeFlipkart commission is a percentage of the selling price (excluding GST), plus a fixed per-order fee and per-kg shipping charge. For sarees and kurtis, the commission is ~16.5%, plus ₹25 fixed + ~₹60 shipping per kg. So on a ₹999 saree weighing 0.5 kg: commission = ₹165, fixed = ₹25, shipping = ₹30, total Flipkart deduction ≈ ₹220 (before GST and PG).
The 2026 commission rate for sarees, kurtis, salwar suits, and most apparel items on Flipkart is 16.5% of the selling price. Lehengas and bridal wear are slightly higher at 18%. Men's casual t-shirts get a lower rate at 14%. Check your Flipkart Seller Hub for the exact rate applied to each SKU.
Yes. Flipkart charges 18% GST on all its fees (commission + fixed fee + shipping). If you are GST-registered, you can claim this as Input Tax Credit (ITC), so the effective cost is just the base fee. If you are not GST-registered, the 18% is a real cost — factor it into your pricing.
Flipkart's forward shipping fee depends on weight and zone. For sarees/kurtis (~0.5 kg), domestic shipping is ₹30–60. Heavy items (lehenga, footwear) ₹80–150 per kg. Reverse shipping (returns) is typically ₹40–70 per return regardless of weight, charged only on the returned order. Flipkart Plus sellers get 30–50% discount on shipping.
Commission is a percentage of selling price (varies by category). Fixed fee is a flat ₹ amount per order regardless of price (₹15–35 depending on category). On low-priced items, the fixed fee can be a bigger pain than commission — a ₹50 product with ₹25 fixed fee loses 50% to that single line item.
Three legitimate ways: (1) Apply for Flipkart Plus seller program — gives 1-2% lower commission for high-volume sellers. (2) Move to F-Assured for premium category exposure (Flipkart pays for some shipping). (3) Aggregate orders into Flipkart Smart shipments — bulk shipping is cheaper per unit. (4) Negotiate category-rate-cards if your monthly GMV exceeds ₹5L+.
Flipkart settles payments twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) after the 7-day return window closes. So for a Wednesday order: returns close on day 10, settlement happens on the next Tuesday/Friday (so T+12 to T+15 typically). For perishables/cosmetics, the return window is shorter (3 days), settlement faster.
Meesho takes 0% commission on most categories — it makes money via shipping markup and ads. Flipkart takes 8.5% to 20% commission depending on category but has lower shipping and bigger order volumes. For sarees: Meesho cheaper per order but Flipkart drives more units. Most sellers list on both. Use the Meesho commission calculator for comparison.
