Question & Answer
Quick-Commerce Margin Calculator: common questions
Real questions SEO buyers ask Dcrayon before signing on. Pricing, timelines, and the AI-search reality. No fluff, no jargon.
None of the three publishes a fixed rate card. Commission is set per product inside the seller dashboard and depends on category, selling price and your agreement, and 18% GST is charged on top of the fee. This calculator starts at 21-23% as an editable example; replace it with the figure in your own dashboard.
Product cost, a per-unit fulfilment or handling fee, paid visibility on the app, returns and spoilage, and GST, which comes out of the selling price before you earn anything. Inwarding, storage and removal charges can also apply. The calculator takes each one as a separate input, so you can see which cost hurts most.
The calculator treats a net margin of 10% or more per unit, after every cost, as healthy, and anything between zero and 10% as thin, because a small rise in commission or returns can wipe it out. Your own target depends on what you spend to win repeat orders, so treat 10% as a floor, not a goal.
No. The calculator runs in your browser and does not send or save the numbers you enter, to Dcrayon or to any platform. Refreshing the page clears them. If you want us to look at a real SKU list, send it separately through the contact form and we will review it with you.
