QUICK COMMERCE PLATFORM Blinkit is moving from a fixed commission model to a variable one for its sellers under the marketplace model, according to people in the know.
This change will require sellers in certain categories, such as home cleaning, to pay higher commissions on higher-priced products.
Earlier, the company used to charge a fixed commission in the range of 3% to 15% based on the category but irrespective of the selling price of the products. For instance, home-cleaning was charged a commission of 11%, irrespective of the product price.
Now, it will be charged based on the selling price and not the category.
One of the mails sent by the company to its sellers shows that a commission of 2% will be charged on products priced below ₹500.
