SGT Cart's pricing is simple: a flat platform commission per delivered sale, no monthly subscription, no listing fee. Optional promotional services are billed separately and only when you opt in.
1. Platform commission
Commission is charged only on delivered Sub-Orders. Cancelled or refunded Sub-Orders incur no commission.

| Health & beauty | 12.0% |
| Home & living | 10.0% |
| Grocery (FMCG) | 6.0% |
| Watches & jewellery | 8.0% |
| Toys & baby | 10.0% |
2. Payment-processing fees
Payment-network fees are passed through at cost — SGT Cart doesn't mark them up:
| Method | Fee |
|---|---|
| SSLCommerz card (Visa / MasterCard / AMEX) | 2.5% of order amount |
| bKash | 1.85% of order amount |
| Nagad | 1.5% of order amount |

4. Refunded-order commission reversal
When a delivered Sub-Order is refunded later, SGT Cart's commission is refunded too in proportion to the refund.
5. VAT collection & deposit
Under NBR rules for online marketplaces, SGT Cart withholds VAT at source on certain category sales (currently 5% for most categories) and deposits it to NBR.
