2. Payment Gateway Charges
2% of order value is deducted for payment processing. This applies to all online payments — COD orders have additional collection charges.
3. Shipping & Logistics
Myntra handles logistics through their own fulfillment network. Shipping costs vary by weight, dimensions, and delivery zone. Typically ₹30-80 per order for standard items.
4. Return Processing Fee
When customers return products, Myntra charges a return processing fee. Fashion categories have higher return rates (25-35%), which significantly impacts net margins.

How to Maximize Margins on Myntra
1. Strategic MRP Setting
Set MRP accounting for all deductions. Most brands price 40-50% above cost to maintain healthy margins after Myntra's fees.
2. Reduce Returns
Better product images, accurate size charts, and detailed descriptions reduce return rates from 35% to under 15%. Our Myntra onboarding agency includes professional catalog creation that minimizes returns.
3. Participate in Sale Events Strategically
Myntra's EORS, Big Fashion Festival, and other sale events increase volume but reduce margins. Prepare sale-specific inventory rather than discounting your full catalog.
4. Optimize for Low-Return Categories
Accessories, footwear, and beauty products have lower return rates than apparel. Diversifying your catalog mix improves overall margins.
