Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate online seller profitability?

Profitability = Selling Price - (Product Cost + Platform Fees + Fulfillment/Shipping + Packaging + COD Fees + GST on Fees). The costs vary based on whether you use FBA/Flipkart Fulfillment or handle shipping yourself.

What affects online seller profitability?

Product cost, platform fees, fulfillment type (FBA vs FBM), shipping costs, packaging, payment type (COD vs Prepaid), GST, competition, and pricing strategy all affect profitability.

Should I use FBA/Flipkart Fulfillment or self-ship?

FBA/Flipkart Fulfillment includes storage, packing, and shipping in one fee (~12-15%), giving you F-Assured/Prime badge and better trust. Self-ship gives you more control over costs but requires you to manage logistics. Compare both options in the calculator to see which is more profitable for your products.

What is a good profit margin for online selling?

Profit margins vary by category. Generally, 15-30% is considered good, but it depends on your business model and costs. Account for all fees including fulfillment and COD charges.
