What does 0% commission mean?
Meesho's supplier pricing promotes 0% commission and 0 collection fee. This removes two common marketplace charges, but sellers still need to account for every other cost required to fulfil and retain an order.
Net profit = Selling price − product cost − logistics − applicable GST − returns/RTO reserve − ads − other costs
Costs that can still reduce profit
- Logistics or shipping charges
- GST on applicable marketplace services
- Return and RTO losses
- Packaging, promotions and advertising
- Product sourcing and operating costs
Why returns matter more than commission
When commission is zero, return behaviour and logistics can become the largest variable costs. A product with a high return rate may produce a weaker net margin than expected even when sales volume looks healthy.
Build a per-order cost model
Use actual logistics charges and divide monthly promotion or operating costs by expected fulfilled orders. Add a return reserve based on your historical account data.
