The Flipkart fixed fee is a flat rupee charge Flipkart takes on each order, decided by the selling-price slab of the item. It is separate from commission, which is a percentage by category. Flipkart's fee page shows a worked example where an item above ₹1,000 sold without Flipkart Fulfilment carries a fixed fee of ₹55. Flipkart does not publish the full slab table on the public page we could open, so we do not list slab amounts here.
How it differs from commission
Commission is a percentage of the selling price. The fixed fee does not move with the percentage: it moves with the slab the price falls in. Fee changes in 2024 are reported to have merged earlier tech and platform fees into this fixed fee, but that comes from a vendor blog, not Flipkart, so treat it as unconfirmed.
Which factors change the amount
Third-party guides say the amount also depends on seller tier and fulfilment type (Flipkart Fulfilment or self-ship). Those guides give different figures, for example ranges that do not match each other, so none are quoted here. Your tier and slab show in your own rate card in Seller Hub.
Worked example, using your own rate
Say your card shows ₹X as the fixed fee for a slab and 5% commission for the category. On a ₹1,200 order, the commission is ₹60 and the fixed fee is ₹X, both before GST on the fees. Add the collection fee and shipping to get your real payout. GST applies to these fees; see GST on marketplace fees.
What is not confirmed
We could not confirm from a Flipkart primary page how the fixed fee behaves on returns or under the zero-commission scheme. For returns, see the reverse shipping fee. For the full picture, read Flipkart seller fees explained.
Why the number looks different on two sellers
A vendor guide on Flipkart's 2026 rate card says the fixed fee is set by price slab and seller tier, not category, and that Bronze and Platinum sellers pay different amounts per order. It gives only one indicative example and no slab table, and it tells sellers to confirm rates in Seller Hub. We treat it as a lead, not proof.
How to check it on your own orders. Pick one settled order. Note its selling price, find the fixed fee line in the settlement report, and compare it with the slab in your Seller Hub rate card. If they do not match, raise a ticket with Flipkart seller support with the order ID and the rate card screenshot. Do this before a big sale, when order volume makes a small per-order error expensive.
Pricing tip. Because the fee is flat, it weighs more on low-priced items. A ₹X fee on a ₹300 item is a larger share than on a ₹3,000 item. Work it into your price using the marketplace pricing calculator once published.
