How to check Flipkart seller fees and commission in your settlement
By the Veritally team · Updated · 4 min read
Quick answer
Flipkart deducts its fees from each order before paying you: commission, fixed fee, collection fee and shipping, plus GST on those fees. Download the settlement report, compare each order's fees with the rate card for its category and price, and raise a ticket for any order charged more than it should be.
Key points
- Fees are charged per order item, so check line by line, not just the total.
- Rates depend on category, price band and other factors; use the rate card in Seller Hub.
- Shipping fees depend on weight and zone; a wrong weight slab raises them.
- GST is charged on fees and is usually claimable as input tax credit.
Fees you'll see
| Fee | What it is | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Percentage of the selling price | The rate for the category and price band |
| Fixed fee | Flat fee per order item | The amount for the price band |
| Collection fee | For handling the buyer's payment | Prepaid vs COD rate |
| Shipping fee | Forward and reverse shipping | Weight slab and zone |
| GST on fees | Tax on the fees above | Applied only to fees |
Rate cards change; always check the current one in Seller Hub.
Common overcharges
- Shipping billed at a higher weight slab than the packed parcel. Check your box with the weight calculator.
- Reverse shipping on an order that was delivered and kept.
- The same fee charged twice on one order item.
Doing it at scale
Checking every line by hand gets slow past a few hundred orders. The free payout check reads your settlement report and flags fees that look higher than usual, repeated charges and returns charged on delivered orders. More: Flipkart settlement reconciliation.
