Frequently Asked Questions

Fees typically include a referral fee of around 12%, closing fees of ₹20, and a payment gateway fee of 2%. Shipping and return costs also heavily impact your final payout.

Returns are costly because you often lose both the forward shipping fee and pay for reverse logistics. For a 10% return rate, you must price your product higher to absorb these losses.

Product Cost (COGS) is the direct procurement or manufacturing cost to produce one unit of your product. It includes supplier purchase price or raw materials plus direct labor per unit.

Packaging Cost includes all protective and branding materials used to pack an individual product safely for transit, including boxes, bubble wrap, polybags, security tapes, brand stickers, and invoice pouches.

Inbound Freight is the bulk transport cost to bring inventory from suppliers to your warehouse. Outbound Shipping is the individual courier delivery charge paid to logistics carriers (Shiprocket, Delhivery, Amazon Easy Ship) to deliver the parcel to the customer.

Expected Return Rate is the percentage of fulfilled orders that get returned by customers or returned as RTO (Return to Origin on failed COD deliveries). Sellers must buffer reverse shipping costs across successful orders to protect profits.

Platform Referral Fee is the percentage commission charged by marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart) on each sale. Closing / Fixed Fee is a flat transaction fee charged per sold unit based on price tiers.

Total Landed Cost is the sum of product cost, packaging, shipping, platform fees, marketing (CAC), and return buffers. Break-Even Price is the minimum selling price where Total Revenue equals Total Costs (Zero Profit).
