How this works. Both marketplaces waive commission/referral on items priced under ₹1,000 (Amazon eff. 16-Mar-2026; Flipkart since Nov 2025). Above ₹1,000, this comparator uses representative bucket rates — for sub-category-precise rates use our Amazon and Flipkart calculators. GST (18%) applies on all platform fees and is claimable as ITC for GST-registered sellers. Always verify on your Seller Central / Seller Hub rate cards before pricing decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which marketplace pays sellers more — Amazon or Flipkart?

It depends on category and price. Above ₹1,000, Amazon typically wins on apparel, beauty and electronics. Flipkart often wins on laptops, large appliances and high-ticket electronics due to lower commission percentages. Below ₹1,000 both waive commission, so the winner is decided by shipping and fixed fees.

Does this comparator use real fee data?

Yes. Both marketplaces’ fee engines are based on their published rate cards. We use 13 representative category buckets — for sub-category-precise rates use our dedicated Amazon and Flipkart calculators.

How does the sub-₹1,000 commission waiver affect the comparison?

Both Amazon (since 16-Mar-2026) and Flipkart (since Nov 2025) waive commission on items under ₹1,000. For sub-₹1,000 SKUs, payouts converge — the winner is decided by shipping and fixed fees alone, often by just ₹5–15 per order.

Should I list on both?

Most ShopSurge clients list on both to maximise reach, but allocate inventory and ad spend differently based on each marketplace’s payout for that SKU. The verdict line in this tool tells you which is better-matched per SKU.

Can I share the comparison?

Yes — use the WhatsApp, LinkedIn or copy-link buttons to share the result. The shared text includes both payouts and the verdict.
