Payout Policy
Sellers are paid only on successful orders, after a short hold period to protect both sides.
Commission
- KHMART commission is 10% of the product price.
- Commission is taken only when an order is successful.
- Delivery fee is not included in the commission calculation.
Successful order
- Buyer has paid.
- Seller has shipped the item.
- Buyer has received the item.
- The complaint window of 72 hours has passed.
- No active dispute.
- Order status is
completed.
Payout schedule
- Default payout hold: 7 days after the order is completed.
- If a dispute is opened, payout is held until the dispute is resolved.
- If the seller wins the dispute, payout is released as scheduled.
- If the buyer wins the dispute, payout is cancelled or reduced.
- Payouts are processed manually by KHMART admin while automatic gateway payout is being prepared.
Cancellations and refunds
- If the order is cancelled before completion, the seller does not receive payout and KHMART does not take normal commission.
- If the order is fully refunded due to seller fault, the seller does not receive payout.
- If the order is partially refunded, commission and payout are recalculated based on the final transaction value.
Example calculation
| Product price | $20.00 |
| Delivery fee | $2.00 |
| Buyer pays | $22.00 |
| KHMART commission (10% × $20.00) | $2.00 |
| Seller payout | $18.00 |
| Delivery fee | handled separately based on delivery method |
Seller Payout = Product Price − KHMART Commission − Refund Adjustment − Seller Penalty
KHMART Commission = Product Price × 10%
