Amazon Referral Fee India: Category-Wise Impact Guide

What Is Amazon Referral Fee?

Referral fee is the percentage Amazon charges on each order value. The exact percentage depends on category/subcategory and sometimes on price slab.

How to calculate Referral Fees?
Total Referral Fees = Item price x Referral Fee percentage

For example, if you are selling a T-Shirt priced at ₹ 350 and if the referral fee percentage for books category is 5%, the Referral Fees = ₹ 350 x 5% = ₹ 17.5

• Category mapping errors can create avoidable margin leakage.
