Simple Commission - By Price Band, Every Category
The commission depends only on the value of the order, never on the category. No hidden platform fees, no COD fee, no payment gateway fee.
+ 18% GST on the commission amount
Higher-value orders fall in cheaper bands; the table below lists every band.
What's included
Only these are ever deducted from your settlement.
- Platform commission - by the price band of the order value (see the table), the same for every product category.
- Logistics/shipping charges - actual shipping cost for that order, deducted along with commission.
- TCS 1% and TDS 0.1% - taxes the law requires us to collect (GST Sec 52 / Income Tax Sec 194-O); they are credited to your tax account against your PAN and GSTIN.
What's never charged
Everything below is free, always.
- Listing fees or catalog fees
- Payment gateway processing fee
- Technology / settlement / account fees

Settlement timeline: how and when you get paid
A prepaid order is released to you after it is delivered and its return window has closed, as long as no return, dispute or refund is open. Release runs every day.
Step 1
Order delivered
The customer receives the parcel.
Step 2
Return window closes (T)
The order becomes eligible for settlement.
Step 3
Released to you
Paid to your bank account by EffortMart
These are the rates in force now. A settlement that was already made keeps the rates that were in force on the day it was paid, and that is what its statement shows.
