The Math Behind Marketplace Commissions
Major online marketplaces charge Indian sellers between 15% and 30% in referral fees, closing fees, and collection surcharges on every single item sold. On a ₹1,000 product, a seller often pockets less than ₹700 before factoring in product manufacturing and packaging costs.
Even many popular store-builder platforms sneakily charge 1% to 2% transaction fees unless you use their proprietary, high-fee payment processors.
How a True 0% Commission Platform Works
With Suryawave, the business model is clean and transparent: you pay a single flat annual subscription, and the platform takes exactly 0% commission on your gross merchandise value (GMV). Whether you sell ₹10,000 a month or ₹10,00,000 a month, your platform fee stays identical.
Customer payments flow directly from the shopper through your own connected Razorpay, Cashfree, or PhonePe merchant accounts—or straight to your business bank account via direct UPI QR codes.
Reinvesting Your Savings into Growth
By saving 15% to 25% on every transaction, you can afford to offer better customer discounts, run targeted Meta and Google ads, improve product packaging, and scale your inventory without taking on expensive working capital loans.
