Payment Policy
Effective Date: January 2026
This Payment Policy outlines the financial transactions, commission structures, and payout workflows for all users of the Mishthanwala platform.
1. For Buyers (Bulk Orders)
- Advance Payments: A partial advance is required to confirm bulk orders and initiate fresh preparation by our vendors.
- Final Settlement: The remaining balance must be cleared as per the terms on the generated invoice.
- Taxes: All orders are subject to GST, which is itemized at checkout.
2. For Sellers (Payouts & Commissions)
- Admin Commission: A pre-agreed commission is deducted from every sale made through the marketplace.
- Payout Cycle: Payouts are transferred to the seller's bank account following successful delivery confirmation.
- Transparency: Detailed Seller Invoices are available in the dashboard for every transaction.
3. Shipping & Logistics
Shipping fees are determined by Hyperlocal proximity between the seller location and the delivery address, governed by global admin rules.
4. Refund & Cancellation
Due to the perishable nature of fresh sweets, cancellations are not permitted once production begins. Refunds for quality issues are managed via Admin arbitration.
