Rs 3 platform charge.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nFlipkart’s rapid commerce division, Flipkart Minutes, and its fashion segment, Myntra, are already charging the fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little higher platform fee of Rs 20 is charged by Myntra; whereas, Rs 5 is charged by Flipkart Minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Flipkart, the platform fee is meant to encourage effective operations and ongoing development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this change, Flipkart now charges handling fees in accordance with rapid commerce services like Zepto, Blinkit from Zomato, and Instamart from Swiggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On these platforms, handling fees vary from Rs 4 to Rs 9.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the main rivals, Amazon, does not presently impose a platform fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon To Impose Platform Charge As Well?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is rumored that Amazon may impose a comparable charge in retaliation for Flipkart’s action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Platforms for quick commerce are progressively branching out into product categories other than grocery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growing competition from this development threatens well-established companies like Amazon and Flipkart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, Blinkit, a Zomato company, provides delivery of small electrical goods in ten to fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The traditional e-commerce businesses are thinking about getting into this market due to the quick commerce platforms’ explosive growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a market where competition is fierce, maintaining profitability is thought to be possible with the platform fee trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-established e-commerce businesses are adjusting to changing customer needs fueled by expedited commerce services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
