Seller Fees & Services

Last updated: 29 October 20265 mins read

Basic Seller Fees

Registration is free. A one-time onboarding fee of Rs. 499 is required to activate and start using your store. Our commission rates start at 0% and go up to a maximum of 4.5%, varying by category and store level. The commercial structure is designed to stay transparent and meaningfully lower than larger generic marketplaces.

Cancellation Costs

Eligible cancellations may attract recovery of the actual allocated gateway cost, as described below. Communicate promptly about order issues and meet the applicable shipping deadline.

Zero Penalty On Returns

There is no penalty on return orders. The return shipping fee is borne by the brand store.

Shipping & Delivery

Shopdibz offers two shipping modes: Self Ship and Assisted Shipping.

Self Ship

No shipping fee is charged to the seller. The seller handles shipping and updates the order status through Seller Hub to notify both customers and Shopdibz.

Assisted Shipping

A fee is deducted for shipping and delivery, starting at just Rs. 35 per 500g. Shopdibz takes care of shipping, pickup is scheduled accordingly, and sellers should download the label and manifest from Seller Hub.

Rates vary with weight, item, and distance. As stores level up and gather more points, rates can be subsidised further.

Payment Cycle

Payouts are initiated for eligible transactions according to their applicable payment schedule, after delivery confirmation and checks for cancellations, refunds, holds, and applicable deductions. A scheduled date alone does not guarantee release. Exchange replacements may follow a different schedule. View pending and settled payments in Seller Hub and contact Shopdibz about a held or delayed payment.

Seller Policy

Cancellations, Statements & Order Controls

Cancellation Gateway-Cost Recovery

For orders covered by the cancellation recovery policy, Shopdibz may recover the actual payment gateway cost allocated to an eligible item cancelled by the brand or automatically for a missed shipping deadline. Staff-assisted cancellations may also qualify where recovery is expressly selected. Customer cancellations do not automatically attract this recovery.

Eligibility requires evidence that the item has never shipped, an unsettled seller payment that has not been taken for payout processing, and no commission already accrued. Exchange replacement items are excluded. Recovery applies only where the policy is enabled and applicable to the order; historical orders are not retrospectively charged under this policy.

If the actual gateway fee or original item allocation is not yet verified, the recovery remains pending verification rather than becoming an estimated charge. Verified amounts may be collected through future eligible seller payouts. This is recovery of an allocated cost, not a flat cancellation fine. Where it is included in a payout penalty deduction, it is not deducted again as an additional charge.

Seller recovery is separate from the customer's refund and does not reduce the customer's refund entitlement under the applicable refund policy or law.

Recovery Statements And Service Credit Notes

Recovery statements distinguish outstanding amounts available for future collection, reserved amounts allocated to a payout but not yet collected, collected amounts settled through a payout, and waived or reversed amounts removed from recovery. A reservation is not confirmation of collection; a released reservation can return to the outstanding balance.

Where applicable, a service credit note records an adjustment against the original commission invoice and its applicable service-tax components. Original issued invoice and credit-note identifiers remain unchanged. A recovery statement is separate from a service credit note; TCS is not service consideration or service GST. Any GST adjustment remains subject to applicable eligibility and confirmation.

Order Status And Return Receipt

Keep order statuses accurate. Once shipped, an item cannot be moved back to packed. For self-shipped items, manual delivery confirmation requires a saved shipping timestamp, at least 60 minutes elapsed since that timestamp, and confirmation that delivery has actually occurred. Elapsed time alone does not establish delivery. Assisted-shipping delivery updates remain courier-managed and cannot be made manually.

For eligible accepted, open returns requiring receipt confirmation, confirm physical receipt only after the product has actually returned to the seller. Tracking information alone does not establish receipt. This also applies where a cancelled parcel subsequently moved and must return before repayment under the applicable workflow. These seller controls do not replace the applicable customer refund policy or statutory rights.
