Selling on Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho: a beginner's guide for shopkeepers

Marketplaces let a local shop sell to customers in every city. Here is what you need to know before starting.

What you need

✓GST number (for most categories)

✓Bank account in the business name

✓PAN card and address proof

✓Good product photos and descriptions

Which marketplace?

Meesho is good for budget fashion and home products. Flipkart and Amazon suit almost every category. Many shops start with one and add others later.

Fees

Each marketplace charges a commission and shipping fee per order. Calculate your price so you still earn after these charges.

Listing quality matters

Clear photos, correct size charts and honest descriptions mean fewer returns and better ratings.

Pack well, ship on time

Late shipping and damaged products hurt your rating. Keep packing material ready.
