The short-order fee ensures the platform always earns a minimum commission. If an order is too small and doesn’t meet the commission target, the customer pays a small extra amount to make up the difference. It can be calculated either as a percentage of the item total or as a fixed value.
✅ Example:
Admin Commission Type: Percentage
Admin Commission Value: 15%
Minimum Admin Commission Value: ₹100
Now, if a customer places an order with an item total of ₹150:
1. Commission normally earned = ₹150 × 15% = ₹22.50
2. But your minimum commission target is ₹100
3. So the system calculates the short order fee as:
₹100 - ₹22.50 = ₹77.50
Result: The customer will see an extra ₹77.50 as a short order fee, so the admin still receives a total of ₹100 as commission.
✅ Example:
Admin Commission Type: Fixed
Fixed Commission Value: ₹50
Minimum Admin Commission Value: ₹100
Commission earned: ₹50
➡️ Short order fee = ₹100 - ₹50 = ₹50
So the system adds ₹50 as a short order fee, which the customer pays.
You will get your commission on the orders.
