The full walkthrough, with the documents to keep ready and the common sign-up problems, is in our Flipkart seller registration guide.

Listing Your Products on the Seller Hub

After registration, all selling work happens on the Flipkart Seller Hub. One product is enough to start, so create your first listing with a clear title, a complete description, high-quality photos from different angles, accurate pricing and the right category so buyers can find it. More listings give buyers more chances to find you, so add your full range as you get comfortable with the form.

If you need help with photos or catalog quality, Flipkart offers catalogue and photoshoot support through its seller services, and the Seller Hub mobile app (Android and iOS) lets you manage listings and orders around the clock.

Pricing & Fees

Creating the account is free, but every order carries deductions: commission, fixed and collection fees, shipping fees and GST on those fees. Price each product only after you know what is left. Our Flipkart seller fees guide lists every deduction with examples, and the free Flipkart profit calculator shows your real profit after fees, shipping and returns before you publish a price.

Receiving & Shipping Orders

When a customer orders, the order appears on the Seller Hub. You pack the product, print and paste the shipping label, and Flipkart's logistics partner picks it up from your pickup address and delivers it to the customer. Flipkart says its delivery network covers more than 19000 pincodes across India. When label PDFs start arriving, the free Flipkart label crop tool trims them to a 4x6 label in your browser so they print cleanly.

If you would rather not handle storage and packing at all, Fulfilment by Flipkart stores, packs, ships and delivers your products for you.

How & When You Get Paid

Flipkart states that sellers receive payment 7 days from the date of dispatch of the order, deposited to the bank account added during registration. You can track each settlement and its deductions in the Seller Hub's payments section.
