Yes — Meesho charges 0% commission on most categories. A few high-ticket buckets (consumer electronics, large appliances) carry 1–5%. The real cost driver on Meesho is shipping plus RTO and customer returns, not commission.
The headline payout is for a delivered, kept order. The effective payout per shipped order accounts for the percentage of shipments that get returned to origin (RTO) or returned by the customer — each event costs you forward + reverse shipping with no offsetting revenue.
Most Meesho sellers see 25–35% RTO, going higher for fashion. Reducing RTO by even 5 percentage points typically lifts net margin more than any pricing change. Our calculator lets you model different RTO scenarios.
Mid-band rates from public seller-reported tables (2025–2026): ~₹40–75 for 500g local, scaling up by weight slab and zone (local/regional/national). Actual rates depend on your supplier tier and pincode.
For sub-₹1,000 fashion and home items, Meesho often nets more per delivered order due to 0% commission — but the high RTO drag can erase that gain. Use our Amazon vs Flipkart comparator and this Meesho calc together to decide.
