Çiçeksepeti Commission Rates by Category (2026)

Two things set Çiçeksepeti's commission apart from other marketplaces: the category band behaves differently on the live-flower and gift side, and there is a 1.5% secure-payment fee stacked on top of the sale. Sellers coming from Trendyol or another channel tend to apply the commission rate to the price tag and assume “that's the deduction” — but on Çiçeksepeti, VAT is added on top of the commission, and so is the secure-payment fee. In this article we've gathered, from a seller's point of view, the approximate commission ranges by category for 2026, the 20% VAT added on top of commission, the 1.5% secure-payment fee, and how the net amount you're left with on payout day is formed.

How does Çiçeksepeti commission work in 2026?

First truth: Çiçeksepeti does not publish its category commissions as a single fixed public table. The rate that applies to your store varies by category, product group, seller agreement, and any campaign arrangements, and it is shown on the commission/agreement screen inside the Çiçeksepeti Seller Panel. The figures below are approximate reference ranges — they point you in the right direction but do not replace your panel.

Second, critical truth: on Çiçeksepeti the commission rate is applied to the VAT-excluded sale base, and a separate 20% VAT is then added on top of the resulting commission amount. So the real amount deducted from your payout is higher than what you get by applying the rate directly to the price tag. This fundamentally differs from Trendyol's model of “commission is calculated from the VAT-inclusive price with no VAT added on top”; in this respect Çiçeksepeti sits in the same group as Hepsiburada, Amazon, and n11.

Third truth, and one specific to Çiçeksepeti: the secure-payment fee. For the payment to be secured by the platform and transferred to you, a separate fee of about 1.5% is charged on the sale amount. This is a deduction independent of commission; you need to place it as its own line in your profit calculation. We detail it under a dedicated heading below.

Short rule: on Çiçeksepeti, commission amount = VAT-excluded base × category rate, and what is deducted from your payout is commission amount × 1.20. On top of that comes roughly 1.5% of the sale amount as the secure-payment fee. Applying the rate directly to the VAT-inclusive price and saying “this much is deducted” understates the real deduction.

Step-by-step example

Say you sell an item to the customer for 120 TL and the item carries 20% VAT. The VAT-excluded base is 100 TL. Let your category commission be 16% (e.g. Home & Living):

• Commission amount: 100 × 16% = 16 TL
• VAT on commission: 16 × 20% = 3.20 TL
• Total commission deducted from payout: 19.20 TL
• Secure-payment fee: 120 × 1.5% = 1.80 TL

So before shipping and product cost even enter the picture, commission plus the secure-payment fee already passed 21 TL. If you mistakenly applied the rate to 120 TL and said “19.20 TL is deducted,” you'd skip the secure-payment fee entirely, and the math wouldn't hold at different VAT rates (1%, 10%) either. The correct approach is always to start from the base. Instead of doing these steps by hand, enter the price, VAT rate, and category into the Çiçeksepeti commission calculator and let the commission and its VAT be separated automatically.

2026 category commission ranges (reference)

The table below shows approximate reference ranges based on Çiçeksepeti's general category structure. On the live-flower, potted-plant, and gourmet side the rates are more moderate; on the fashion, accessory, and cosmetics side they tend to rise. Deviations by sub-category, brand, and campaign are normal. Always verify your exact rate from the Çiçeksepeti Seller Panel.

* The ranges are for guidance; as shown in the example above, a separate 20% VAT is added on top of category commissions. Most categories fall roughly in the %6–20 band, but in some special groups the rate can go higher. The final word is always the rate shown in your panel; it is normal for a category to appear different in your panel than in the table — the panel wins.

The real lesson of the table: on a low-priced item, knowing the rate is not enough. On a cheap product the secure-payment fee, shipping, and fixed service items can take up more room than the commission. That is why you have to factor in commission not on its own, but together with all deductions. We covered every step of becoming a Çiçeksepeti seller, from application to product upload, separately in becoming a Çiçeksepeti seller.

What is the 1.5% secure-payment fee?

The secure-payment fee is a service charge for the customer's payment being secured by the platform and transferred to you. In practice it is calculated at about 1.5% of the sale amount and appears as a line separate from commission on your payout breakdown. Even in a category with a low commission rate, this fee comes out of every sale; the healthiest approach is to place it in your margin math as a fixed deduction.

Back to the example: on a 120 TL sale, 120 × 1.5% = 1.80 TL of secure-payment fee. On a high-priced item this amount grows, but since its ratio to the sale stays fixed, it affects your margin in a predictably proportional way. Verify the exact rate, its VAT treatment, and how it applies under your agreement from the account statement in your Çiçeksepeti Seller Panel and from your commission/service invoice— periodic updates can happen.

Seller summary: on Çiçeksepeti there are practically two fixed deductions per sale — commission + 20% VAT and a ~1.5% secure-payment fee. When setting price, compute both from the base; on a cheap product these two can eat most of the profit.

Items beyond commission that can appear on your payout

Commission alone does not explain the amount reflected in your payout breakdown. Depending on the services your store uses and the programs you join, these items may also appear. Verify which ones apply to you from the agreement and account statement in your panel:

Shipping fee

If you use contracted shipping, the shipment fee varies by desi, carrier, and any free-shipping campaign, and it is deducted from your payout. For live flowers and items requiring same-day delivery, logistics conditions may work differently; this item is often the biggest line on a cheap product, so price accordingly.

Service and transaction fees

In some periods or for some seller types, fixed per-order or per-store service/transaction fees may apply. Whether they exist and their amount depend on your agreement; you will see them as a separate line on your account statement. Rather than assuming, the best approach is to read the line name in the statement.

Marketing and advertising fees

If you use marketing tools such as storefront placement, sponsored products, coupon financing, or campaign participation, their cost also appears separately on the statement. These items are independent of commission and arise entirely from your participation choices; if you see a fee for a campaign you did not join, it is grounds for a dispute.

Income tax withholding (1%)

On marketplace sales, the intermediary platform withholds 1% of the VAT-excluded sale amount as withholding tax and pays it to the tax office (under Law No. 7524, since 2025). On a 120 TL (VAT-included) sale, the base is 100 TL and the withholding is 1 TL. This is not an extra tax but a prepayment offset against your income/corporate tax at year end — but it leaves your cash flow today, so you should include it in your payout calculation. This is general information; for your own situation consult your accountant/financial advisor and rely on the official source (the Revenue Administration).

Çiçeksepeti payout (settlement) period and how the net payout works

On Çiçeksepeti, the sale amount is not transferred to you right away; it is paid out according to a specific settlement schedule. The payout period varies by seller type, your agreement, and any special arrangements. In practice, sales are paid in periodic cycles and each settlement record shows a planned payment date, but verify your specific day and cycle for certain from the settlement/payment screen in your panel — a generic “it's deposited on this day” statement will not be correct for every store.

What matters is this: the amount deposited on payment day is not your gross sales. The net payout is formed roughly like this:

1. Gross sales (VAT included)
2. minus commission amount
3. minus VAT on commission (20%)
4. minus the ~1.5% secure-payment fee
5. minus shipping (if you use contracted shipping)
6. minus any service and marketing fees
7. minus 1% withholding

If you do not track these lines through the breakdown, you cannot see how much each deduction is eating. Everything we discuss under the “Çiçeksepeti deductions” heading collects on this net-payout line.

Placing commission correctly in your profit calculation

Knowing the rate is not enough; you have to place it in the calculation correctly. Four rules:

1. Fix the base: calculate commission from the VAT-excluded base, not from the VAT-inclusive tag. A wrong base breaks the math at different VAT rates.
2. Add the commission VAT: on Çiçeksepeti, 20% VAT is stacked on top of the commission. You can claim this VAT as a deduction on your return, but it leaves as cash on payout day.
3. Count the secure-payment fee separately: ~1.5% of the sale amount is a line independent of commission; since it comes out of every sale, treat it as a fixed deduction.
4. Spread the fixed items and returns: shipping and any service fee are deducted as TL, not as a rate; the 1% withholding and the return rate also take a share of every sale's profit.

Instead of applying these rules by hand on every product, use the Çiçeksepeti commission calculator; enter the price, VAT rate, and category, and let the commission and its VAT be separated automatically. To also add product cost and see net profit, the Çiçeksepeti profit calculator reverse-calculates the price you need to sell at for your target margin. If you want to see whether selling the same item is more profitable on Çiçeksepeti or on another marketplace, the marketplace profit comparison tool compares them on a single screen. To deepen the decision side, the articles which marketplace is more profitable and multi-marketplace sales strategy are a natural continuation of this table. To see the VAT side as a whole, the e-commerce VAT guide will help.

Three frequently asked questions

Is VAT added to Çiçeksepeti commission?

Yes. On Çiçeksepeti, category commission is applied to the VAT-excluded base, and a separate 20% VAT is then added on top of the resulting amount. The total commission deducted from your payout is 1.20 times the commission amount. This differs from the Trendyol model; factor in this difference before using the rate as-is.

Is the secure-payment fee included in the commission?

No. The secure-payment fee (~1.5%) is a separate item from commission and is calculated on the sale amount. Even if the commission rate is low, this fee comes out of every sale; keeping it as its own line in your profit calculation matters especially on low-margin products. Verify the exact rate and VAT treatment from the account statement in your panel.

Where do I see my own exact rate?

In two places: the commission/agreement screen in the Çiçeksepeti Seller Panel (the rate in the contract) and the actual commission line on your payout breakdown (what was actually deducted). If the two do not match, there is either a campaign-period arrangement or an error — in both cases it is worth querying the statement line.

Knowing the rate is not enough — you have to track the deduction

Commission rates are updated from period to period, campaigns change category rules, and you only see the actual deduction on your payout breakdown. Verimle, once you track your sales, reads the real deductions of every order (commission, commission VAT, secure-payment fee, shipping, service and marketing fees, withholding tax) from the breakdown, derives net profit per product, and alerts you when a deduction is larger than expected. For a deduction it judges unfair, it prepares a dispute draft; it does not automatically bring the money back, but it shows what was over-deducted and why, with evidence in hand. The rates and amounts in this article are reference figures; rely on your panel for your own exact numbers and on your financial advisor for the tax side. Instead of memorizing the table, let the system track the deductions for you.
