"What's Meesho's commission?" doesn't have one universal answer — it's a category-based structure, not a flat percentage, and treating it as a flat number is a common pricing mistake.
How commission fits into a settlement
Commission is deducted from the sale price before shipping deductions and GST are applied, and the net result is what shows up as your Final Settlement Amount in the payment sheet. It's one layer of several — not the only deduction — which is why sellers who price based only on "commission %" are often surprised by the actual settlement.
Why the rate varies
Commission is set per product category (and can be adjusted by Meesho over time), so the same percentage assumption that worked for one category can be wrong for another. Rather than relying on a number you saw once, check your category's current commission directly in the supplier panel or your latest payment sheet — that reflects what you were actually charged, not a generic figure that may be out of date.
Where to actually see it
- Open your Meesho payment sheet (Payments → Payment Reports) — the settlement breakdown for each order shows how much was deducted.
- Compare your Total Sale Amount against the Final Settlement Amount to see the combined effect of commission, shipping and GST for that order.
- Do this per category if you sell across multiple categories — commission differences add up at volume.
Building it into your pricing
Rather than memorizing a commission percentage, build your selling price up from your actual settlement pattern: run a few weeks of real orders through a profit calculator and back into the effective commission + shipping + GST rate your category is really carrying, then price new listings against that real number instead of an assumption.
