Flipkart has given a big shock to the users. Because you will have to pay more money for ordering goods from this platform. Because Flipkart has also started charging platform fees like Swiggy and Zomato. Just a few months ago, both platforms had increased their charges to Rs 6 per order. E-commerce platform Flipkart has started charging platform charges at the rate of Rs 3 per order from August 17. That is, now users will have to pay more charges before ordering anything.
Flipkart has started charging this platform charge for all users. Now the question is, on which users will this be imposed? So let us tell you in advance that both standard and plus users will have to pay this charge on the e-commerce website. But the order limit has been fixed for this as well. You may have to pay this charge if you order more than 10 thousand rupees. This is not the first time, even before this the company has changed its charges many times. While such charge will not be taken on Flipkart’s subsidiary Cleartrip and Grocery.
Who levies the charge?
Now let’s talk about where this charge is levied. This charge is taken from users on every order by Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit and Zepto. However, this charge is different. Platform fees ranging from Rs 4 to Rs 10 are added to it. At present, such a charge is not being taken by Amazon. In such a situation, most users will start ordering from Amazon.

Platform charge simply means that if you order using a platform, then a charge will be taken from that platform. This charge can be different. But you have to pay this charge on ordering.
