Seller Ledger Rules

In a multi-seller marketplace, the admin might want to charge the seller's fee/commission on different activities e.g. when they sell or list their products on the marketplace.

Go to Sellers > Seller Ledger Rules section in StoreHippo Admin Panel to manage the rules to define the fees/commissions for sellers.

Adding a new seller ledger rule

Click on the Add New button to add a new seller ledger rule. Clicking the button will open a form which will have following fields:

Name

Enter the name of the ledger rule.

Type

Select the type of the ledger rule you want to apply. Currently, 3 types of ledger rules are supported:

• Product Listing Fee: If a Product Listing Fee is defined, then a transaction will be created with the product listing fee for every product added. Product Listing Fee is applied even if the product is not approved yet.
• Product Selling Fee: If a Product Selling Fee is defined, then a transaction will be created with the product selling fee for every product that is sold. If an order contains multiple products on which product selling fee is applicable then there will be multiple entries for one order, one for each product in the order.
• Order Shipping Fee: If an Order Shipping Fee is defined, then a transaction will be created with the order shipping fee for every order that is shipped.
