    4. FLIPKART_SELLER: All orders will be shipped using Flipkart’s logistics if possible. Else, the order will be given to seller for shipping if seller is serviceable in the customer’s location

  • Packages refers to the final packaging in which the product will be shipped to the customers. Length, breadth, height and weight of the package refers to the dimensions of the final packaging. This will be used to check if Flipkart can ship these packages and also used to calculating the shipping fee to the seller in the occasion of an order.

  • Location refers to the various inventory and fulfillment locations of the seller. Updating inventory for a location will make the listing buyable from the location <location_inventory>

  • Seller can make the listing not buyable from the location by setting the status as DISABLED <>

  • Seller can create and update hyperlocal listing.
