Selling on Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho: a starter checklist
The documents, catalogue work and daily routines new sellers need before listing on India’s big marketplaces.
Get the basics ready
- GST registration (most categories require it; check each marketplace’s current rules)
- A business bank account and PAN
- A pickup address and packaging that protects your products
- Brand registration if you sell under your own brand name
Build one master catalogue
Before you list anywhere, create one sheet with every product: title, variants, sizes, colours, materials, HSN code, weight and dimensions, and good photos on a white background plus lifestyle shots. Each marketplace has its own template, but they all draw from the same facts.
Write listings for search
Put the words buyers actually search for in the title, keep it readable, and fill every attribute the marketplace offers. Missing attributes hide you from filters.
Plan pricing and returns
Work out your margin after commission, shipping, payment fees and returns for each marketplace before setting prices. Fashion categories in particular see high return rates, so clear size charts pay for themselves.
Keep a daily routine
- Process orders and print labels on time to protect your seller rating
- Reply to buyer questions quickly
- Keep stock counts in sync across every channel
- Review ratings and returns weekly and fix the cause
