Setting shipping charges

1. Setting shipping charges
In this module, we will discuss:
1. Setting shipping charges
2. Payout calculation
3. Maximum limits of shipping charges
4. Updating shipping charges on the seller panel

2. In some cases shipping charges charged from customers will
be passed on to you directly
• Example: If the product’s price is Rs. 49 and the shipping charge is Rs. 59, you can adjust a part of the shipping charge in your product’s price.
Ideally, the shipping charge should be less than the product’s price. This improves the product checkout from the cart. Let us understand this with the
help of an example:
Note: The total is exclusive of taxes and commissions.
Tip: It is advisable to have all prices/charges ending with 9. Ex: 39 instead of 40; 59 instead of 60.
Product price 49
Shipping charge 59
Total 108
Product price 69
Shipping charge 39
Total 108
Before After
Total receivable amount still remains the
same*

3. You will receive payment in the following breakdown
• Example: If the product price is set at Rs. 69 and the shipping charge is set at Rs. 39 (assuming 100% is passed through), with the logistics charges
being Rs. 50, following will be the breakdown of the payment:
Note: 1% TCS will also be deducted from the base price.
Tip: Make sure you set prices such that you are able to recover the costs incurred.

4. Shipping charges range between 0 and maximum limits defined by
following cases
• The maximum limit is taken as the greater of the following two cases :
1. 5% of the selling price 2. 150 x actual/ volumetric weight (kg)
• Let us understand this with the help of an example:
Product price 49
(Price/100)x5
(49/100)x5
Maximum shipping charge 2.5
Product weight 2kg
150xweight(kg)
150x2
Maximum shipping charge 300
*In this case, you can enter any amount between INR 0 and INR 300 as the shipping charge.
5% of selling price 150 X actual/volumetric weight (in kg)
