How to sell on Flipkart: the basics
Flipkart works much like other marketplaces. You list products, Flipkart shows them to buyers, a courier picks up the order from you or from a Flipkart warehouse, and you get paid after deductions. What is different is the audience: Flipkart is very strong in fashion, electronics and value buyers across tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
Flipkart seller documents
- GSTIN for the products you sell
- PAN card
- Bank account with cancelled cheque or account proof
- Pickup address where the courier collects orders
- Active mobile number and email
- Signature and identity details for verification
- Brand authorisation or trademark proof if selling a brand
Flipkart seller account setup, step by step
Start on Flipkart's official seller portal with a mobile number and email you will keep long term. Add your GSTIN, which Flipkart uses to pull your business details, then your bank account for payouts.
Store details
Choose a display name buyers will trust. Keep it close to your brand.
Pickup address
This is where Flipkart's logistics partner will collect orders. It must match your GST address or a registered additional place of business.
Brand approval
If you sell your own brand, you may need trademark proof. If you resell another brand, keep the authorisation letter ready.
Flipkart seller charges explained
Flipkart seller charges come in layers: a commission based on category and price, a fixed fee per order, a collection fee for payment handling, and a shipping fee based on weight and distance. GST applies on these fees. Rates change by category, so check Flipkart's current rate card before you set your price.
Returns cost money too. Fashion in particular sees high return rates, so price with returns in mind.
Fulfilment and the Flipkart Assured badge
You can ship from your own location using Flipkart's pickup, or send stock to Flipkart fulfilment centres. Products fulfilled by Flipkart can qualify for the Flipkart Assured badge, which signals faster, reliable delivery to buyers and often lifts conversion.
Flipkart seller onboarding tips
List fewer products well rather than many products badly. Clear images, honest sizes and complete specifications reduce returns. Keep dispatch on time from day one, because early performance shapes how Flipkart treats your listings.
