Zero commission in 2026: what each marketplace still takes from a ₹499 sale

Amazon changed its fees in March, August and September this year, so look at the "Checked on" date before you price with this page.

Amazon: ₹0 referral fee, ₹78 in other fees

Amazon's fee table says the referral fee (Amazon's name for commission) is 0% for items priced up to ₹1,000, in 1,800+ categories, clothing included, since 16 March 2026. Two fees stay on an Easy Ship order: the closing fee and the shipping fee.

The closing fee moves with the price (₹2 up to ₹300, ₹79 above ₹1,000), and above ₹1,000 the referral fee comes back, for example 16.5% on ethnic wear. Every band and weight: Amazon closing fee and Easy Ship charges.

Meesho: ₹0 commission, and the customer pays most of the shipping

Meesho's pricing page says "Meesho charges 0% Commission rate across all categories", with no collection fee and no penalty. In one clothing store's payment files, May to October 2026, commission and every fixed or platform fee was ₹0. On a normal delivered order, what Meesho takes is forward shipping, and the customer has already paid most of it on top of your price.

Flipkart: ₹0 commission on fashion, other fees in your dashboard

Flipkart's fees page says: "We offer a 0% commission on all products priced below ₹1,000, regardless of category." Since 8 July 2026 the whole Fashion category is 0% at any price. The other fees are not public: "To access the rate card, create your seller account to view it on the seller dashboard."

• Fixed fee per item (Flipkart says it is "also known as the closing fee"). It depends on your seller tier, and Flipkart publishes only the difference: Platinum pays ₹15 to ₹30 less than the base rate, Gold and Silver pay the base rate, Bronze pays ₹10 more. The base rate is in your dashboard.
• What else? The current fees page names only the fixed fee and commission. A Flipkart seller blog post about a year old adds shipping by weight and distance, free local and zonal under 500 g; a collection fee on cash on delivery orders, a % of the order value; and GST on the fees. Check all three in your rate card: they may have changed.
• Shopsy: 0% commission on all Shopsy categories, and the same seller dashboard as Flipkart.

So public pages are not enough for a ₹499 Flipkart example. Put the rates from your own dashboard into the Flipkart calculator.

Myntra and Snapdeal: almost nothing is public

• Myntra runs a zero commission offer for "digital-first made-in-India D2C brands" (brands that sell straight to customers); its terms are not public. To sell at all you need a trademark certificate or a brand owner's NOC. There is no onboarding fee, but new sellers pay a one-time growth enablement charge, taken from payouts and given back as ad credit. Myntra does not publish that amount, its commission or its shipping rates: they are in the Partner Portal.
• Snapdeal's sign-up page says "0% Commission*" and does not explain the star. Fee amounts are in the Seller Panel.

Blogs quote numbers for both. We found no official source for them, so we don't repeat them. Use the Myntra or Snapdeal calculator with the rates from your own panel.

What comes on top, on every marketplace

Returns, ads, packaging, and TCS and TDS (small taxes the marketplace cuts and pays to the government in your name: TCS and TDS explained) are not in the examples above. Cancelling an order yourself can cost money too: see cancellation charges on Amazon and Flipkart. And the day the money arrives differs: when each marketplace pays.
