Flipkart review

Flipkart pays cost per sale, with its published terms reading Up to 12% per sale and a wider 2% to 20% range depending on the category. Because the rate moves with the offer in front of you, check the rate for the products you plan to link before you commit traffic to them.

Payment is released 30-60 days after order, and your account has to hold INR 25,000 before a payout goes out. That lag sits on top of order confirmation, so money earned this week is not money in your account this month. New publishers should expect the first transfer to be the slowest.

Recurring commission: no. The model is cps, a payment per completed sale, so a customer's later orders are not attributed to you unless they arrive through a fresh click. If your income depends on repeat buyers rather than new clicks, this is the part to weigh first.

Retail is the scope, retail, and the programme is run by the retailer itself rather than through a network, direct. Approval and commission decisions therefore sit with Flipkart, which suits publishers whose content is already built around one large marketplace instead of a spread of unrelated offers.

Coverage is single country, and sales sent from anywhere outside that market will not convert into commission. If your audience is spread across several countries, there is no second region to add to the same account, so the programme earns from one audience only.

The programme is operated by Flipkart Internet Private Limited, the retailer's own company, and the relationship is direct, direct. There is no separate network or platform sitting between you and the commission rate, so programme queries go to Flipkart rather than to an intermediary.

EarnKaro pays Up to 50% profit, 10% lifetime referral, which includes a lifetime referral cut, and CashKaro pays 10% of friend's cashback. Flipkart pays 2% to 20% on a sale and nothing after it, so a referral heavy model earns differently from a retail commission. Choose on how your audience buys, not on the headline rate.
