Flipkart Advantage (FA)
What is Flipkart Advantage or Flipkart Fulfilment?
Flipkart Advantage (FA) allows sellers to use Flipkart’s fulfilment services. A business can
bulk ship their products and store them in a Flipkart operated warehouse (or fulfilment
centre) and Flipkart does the rest.
As and when orders come on a daily basis, Flipkart fulfills the orders, i.e., pick, pack and
ship the orders to the buyers.
Flipkart also handles the returns of products returned by the customers or courier
companies.

Who should use Flipkart Fulfilment?
Flipkart Fulfilment can be used by:
1. Businesses that don’t have a warehouse of their own or don’t have a warehouse
in the metropolitan hubs.
2. Businesses whose own warehouses are geared for B2B shipments and not for
daily B2C shipments.
3. Businesses that find it difficult to train retain a team for their warhouses or to
achieve a fast shipping turn around time (1-2 days).
4. An additional benefit of using Flipkart Fulfilment is that your products get an
‘Assured’ badge and enjoy better search ranking in the product search results.
Customers also value the Assured badge when they see it.
