“How Much Do You Earn from Swiggy? My First Cheesecake Order & Earnings Explained”

🎂 My First Swiggy Order Journey with Crispyandcakes – Selling Cheesecakes Online!

Starting a home bakery is always exciting, but seeing your very first order come through is a feeling beyond words. On 13th September 2025, my dream outlet Crispyandcakes finally went live on Swiggy, and I received my very first customer order!

🧁 The First Order – Strawberry & Blueberry Cheesecake

The customer ordered two cheesecakes – one strawberry and one blueberry. Both are among my favorite creations, and knowing someone else wanted to try them felt so special.

  • Price per cheesecake: ₹179 (INR)

  • Customer order value: ₹179 + ₹179 = ₹358

Since I was running a 15% discount offer that day, it made the order even sweeter for the customer.

I had dreamt of this moment for a long time, and packing those cheesecakes with care to deliver gave me such joy.

💰 Swiggy Payout & Earnings Breakdown

One of the most common questions small bakers have is: “How much do we actually earn after Swiggy’s commission and charges?”

So here’s a transparent look at my first payout:

  • Order Total (2 cheesecakes): ₹358

  • GST Collected: ₹15.59

  • Swiggy Commission: -₹85.12

  • GST on Commission (18%): -₹15.32

  • GST Deduction: -₹15.59

  • TDS Deduction: -₹0.31

  • Other Charges/Refunds: -₹56.00

  • Net Payout: ₹267.05

👉 This payout will be reflected in the Swiggy Partner App under the Finance section. You can also download reports and track when the payout is credited to your bank account. Swiggy processes payouts weekly, so I’m waiting for it to reflect in my bank.

📈 Learning from the First Sale

While ₹267.05 might seem small for two cheesecakes, it’s just the beginning. If sales scale up, even 10–15 orders a day can create a decent income stream. The key is to:

  1. Market well on Instagram & WhatsApp – Share pictures, videos, and stories to build trust.

  2. Offer discounts smartly – Introductory discounts help in the beginning but plan margins carefully.

  3. Maintain Quality Consistency – Good reviews = more orders!

  4. Track Payouts Regularly – Always check the Finance tab for earnings transparency.

  5. Plan a Signature Menu – Highlight items like cheesecakes, brownies, and cupcakes to attract customers.
