The Shipping Cost Contribution fee is a mandatory fee for each order which will be successfully delivered to the customer.

The processing fee is calculated on an Item level regardless the number of items on the order.
Example:
If you have a fashion store on JUMIA, and you have 2 orders that you will ship:
- Order A contains 1 jacket
- Order B contains 1 jacket, 1 pair of Jeans, 3 pairs on socks, and a T-shirt.
Please note that the shipping fee is applicable to each item dependent on item categorization.
2. How will much will I pay for the Shipping Cost Contribution fee?
The processing fee is divided into 5 tiers as shown below:
- Fashion Products
- FMCG and Selected Baby & Beauty
- Smalls sized products
- Medium-sized products
- Large sized products
Depending on your item size and operations module, you will be charged the processing fee as per below table:
- While you will only have to pay 25 shillings for the same order if it is stored at the Jumia warehouse.
- As we agreed you are charged per item level and not order level, so if the order consists of both; 1 small sized item and 1 fashion item, you will be charged the higher cost.
