What is a Meesho Seller?

Meesho Seller

In its simplest form, a Meesho Seller is any person or company that lists and sells their products on the Meesho platform. Consider Meesho to be a giant online shopping mall and you, the seller, are leasing a store within it. The most awesome bit? The rent is effectively free here, since Meesho notoriously charges 0% commission. This implies that you retain 100 percent of the profit you charge.

You are not a supplier but the owner of your online store. What you sell, at what prices, how you manage the inventory, and how you create the listings is up to you. Meesho takes care of the technology, the large customer base (we are talking about crores of people!), and the delivery logistics to get your product out of your doorstep to the customer anywhere in India.

Types of Products You Can Sell

Meesho is a lively marketplace with a keen emphasis on lifestyle and daily products. It is not the market to sell heavy electronic or industrial equipment, but it is a jackpot of sellers in the following categories:

  • Fashion: This is a mammoth group. You can sell sarees, kurtis, dresses, t-shirts, menswear, kidswear, accessories like jewelry, handbags, shoes to name a few.
  • Home & Kitchen: Bedsheets, curtains, cushion covers, kitchen tools, storage containers, home decor items and so on. If it can make a house a home you can probably sell it here.
  • Beauty & Personal Care: Skin care products, makeup, grooming essentials, and wellness products are always in demand.
  • Electronics Accessories: You can not sell high-end phones but accessories like phone cases, headphones, smart watches, and cables sell well.
  • Sports and fitness: Yoga mats, basic fitness equipment, and active wear are in demand.
  • Stationery and Office Supplies: Unique notebooks, pens and organizational tools also have their own customer base.

The trick is to sell items that are attractive to the masses, are lightweight and can be shipped easily and also within the lifestyle theme of the platform.

Benefits of Selling on Meesho

The benefits are quite strong, particularly to new sellers.

  • 0% Commission: On the majority of other platforms, you do pay a percentage of each sale (between 5-20%+), to the marketplace. On Meesho, when you sell a product at 500, you get 500 (minus GST and a small payment gateway fee). This enables you to price your products at a more competitive price and make more profit.
  • Large Customer Base: Meesho provides you with immediate access to crores of active customers throughout India, in large cities as well as small towns. To reach this many people on your own would take a huge marketing budget.
  • Convenient and Low Cost Shipping: You do not have to search courier partners. Meesho logistic network picks up your goods and delivers them to the customer. The shipping rates are highly affordable and are paid by the customer, so it is convenient to you.
  • Easy Registration and Listing: It is easy to become a seller and the process can be done in the comfort of your home. You do not have to have an expensive office or a large warehouse to be able to start.
  • Safe and Prompt Payments: Your delivered orders are paid directly into your bank account on a regular schedule (typically 7 days after delivery). The procedure is open and dependable.
  • Low Start-Up Cost: There is no need of a big budget to get started. You can start with a small stock and increase as your sales increase. This reduces the risk to a great extent amongst the new entrepreneurs.

How to Become a Meesho Seller in 2025

Ready to start up a shop? The registration is remarkably easy. Simply do these steps and you are on your way. Have your documents at hand before you start (we will discuss the required documents in the next section).

Registration Guide Step by Step

Step 1: Go to the Meesho Supplier Portal 

First of all, open your web browser and visit the official Meesho Seller portal: supplier.meesho.com. This is your portal to the seller world. Shun any other third party sites purporting to register you.

Step 2: Enter Your Mobile Number 

On the home page, there is a box to enter your cell phone number. Use a number you actively use as all the communications and OTP verifications will be done using this number. Click on “Start Selling.” You will be sent an OTP (One-Time Password) on your phone. Enter it to check your number.

Step 3: Insert Your Email and Create a Password 

You will then be asked to enter your email address and create a password to your seller account. Select a password that is not easy to guess. This will be your future log in credential.

Step 4: Enter Your GSTIN 

This is a very important step. You will be required to enter your GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). According to the rules of the Indian government, it is necessary to have a GSTIN to sell products on any online marketplace. In case you do not have one, you will have to register it first. Meesho will verify your GSTIN online, once you enter it.

Step 5: Enter Your Pickup Address 

This is where your orders will be picked up by Meesho logistics partner. It could be your residential address, your store or a small godown. Always ensure that you give the full and correct address, including the pin code because this is very important in smooth operations.

Step 6: Enter Your Bank Details 

This is where you will get your payments. You must enter your bank account number, the name of the account and the IFSC code. Recheck these information to ensure they are accurate so as to avoid payment complications in future. Meesho will confirm your bank account by depositing a small amount

Step 7: Enter Your Supplier Information 

Lastly, you will need to enter in your store name and your full name. Your store name is what the customers will see on Meesho so it is important to have something catchy and relevant to your products.

And that is it! After you enter these details, you are registered. You will be able to list your products after your account is reviewed.

Tips for Fast Approval and Listing Products

Have Your Documents at Hand: Have your GSTIN certificate, PAN card and a cancelled cheque (or bank passbook) at hand before you start. This will facilitate the process a lot easier

Triple-Verify All Data: A typo in your GSTIN or bank account number will result in delays. Check all details and then submit

Post Your First Listing (Catalog Upload): You should not wait. The initial step that you must take is to post your product listings. This is referred to ‘Creating a Catalog.’’

Use a good quality of photos: This is the most important part. The photos of your products are your salesman Use a white background, good lighting and take photos at different angles. Show how the product is used.

  • Write Descriptions in Detail: Do not write Red Kurti. Write about the fabric, size, work on it (e.g. Cotton-blend Anarkali Kurti with intricate embroidery). Mention the size, weight and care. Consider the questions a customer may ask and answer them in your description.
  • Select the Appropriate Category: It is important to put your product in the right category so as to be visible. Do not include a bedsheet in the Kurtis category

Set a Competitive Price: Research on the prices of similar products on Meesho. There is no commission, so you can make a very attractive price.

Meesho Seller Login & Panel

Meesho Seller

After you have registered, you will have access to your business headquarters: the Meesho Seller Panel.

To log in, just visit supplier.meesho.com and enter the email/mobile number and password that you have created during registration.

The Seller Panel may seem a little complicated at first, but it is quite easy to understand when you get used to it. You could think of it as the dashboard of your car, it provides you with all the information and controls that you require to run your business as smoothly as possible.

Here is a brief walk-through of the main areas you will use on a daily basis:

  • Home: The central dashboard. It provides you with a snapshot of your business- new orders, pending shipment, payments, and important announcements by Meesho.
  • Action: Here you will see all your new orders, and you can manage returns and track shipments. You will be in this section most of the time, receiving orders and getting them ready to be delivered.
  • Catalog Upload: It is here that you can add new products to your store. You can either upload one product or a bulk of products using a template.
  • Inventory: This tab assists you to monitor your inventory. Here, you can change the quantity of your products to avoid the order of goods that are out of stock.
  • Payments: You can see all your transactions. You are able to view historical payments, future payments, and download detailed reports.
  • Advertisements: You can use Meesho Ads to market your products and make them more visible when you start getting active. This is an auxiliary instrument to increase your sales.
  • Support: Your direct contact to Meesho seller support. You can open a ticket here in case you have any problem, whether it is related to payments, orders, or listing.

Spend a little time and browse around each section. The more comfortable you are with the panel the better you will be able to run your business.

Meesho Seller Account Requirements

It is easy to get started, but there are a few things you need in place. This is not the rule of Meesho, but the law in India to conduct business online.

The Requirements to Open a Seller Account

  • GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number): This is not negotiable. Everyone who is selling goods online must have a GSTIN. You can apply to get it on the official government GST portal in case you do not have one. It is quite a straightforward online procedure
  • PAN Card: This is your business PAN card (in case you are registering as a company) or your individual PAN card to verify identity and to track financial transactions.
  • Active Bank account: You must have a current or savings bank account in your name or the name of your business to receive payments through Meesho.

That’s it! You do not require a registered company, an import-export license or a fancy office. You can begin as an individual proprietor right in your home.

Tips for Keeping Your Account Compliant and Active

It is not only about making sales in running a successful online store but also being a good seller. Meesho keeps track of the performance of the seller to make sure that the customer is satisfied. This is how to remain in their good books:

  • Ship on Time: Once you receive an order, there is a certain time that you are expected to pack it and deliver it to the courier. Delivery delays are subject to penalties or even account suspension.
  • Reduce Cancellations: Do not cancel the orders on your part. It is important to keep your inventory in the Seller Panel updated so that you do not receive orders on products which are not in stock.
  • Quality of Product: The product you send should be the same as the pictures and description that you have in your listing. The shipment of low-quality or wrong products would result in a high rate of returns and negative reviews, which can be disastrous to your business.
  • Safe Packages: Your goods should be packed in a way that they are not damaged during transportation. Products that are damaged lead to returns and dissatisfied customers.
  • Read the policies: Go through the seller policies of Meesho. It is better not to mention the forbidden goods or do anything unfair.

A good rating on a healthy account will mean that your products will be more visible and this will result in more sales.

Meesho Seller Charges & Fees

This is where Meesho is so appealing. So what are the costs?

The Well-known 0% Commission Structure

Meesho does not take any commission on the sale of your products. This implies that when you fix the price of your product to 800, Meesho does not cut it. This is quite unlike other marketplaces.

What is the Meesho revenue model? They also get other sources of income like advertising and by making small profit on the shipping services they facilitate. The principle is the same with you, the seller, however: what you get is what you sell it at.

Are There Any Other Charges?

Although there is no commission, you should note that:

  • Shipping Costs: The customer is charged the shipping cost which is on the checkout page as an addition to the product price. It is not a price you are expected to pay out of your pocket but it is something you should be conscious of. Meesho has a rate card according to the weight of the product and the distance of delivery. The rates are generally very competitive because Meesho deals in such high volumes.
  • Payment Gateway and Service Fees: This may be a very small percentage deducted per order as payment gateway charges. This is normal in any online platform which receives digital payments.
  • Penalties: In case of violating the policies of Meesho (such as late shipping, sending the wrong product, or excessive returns because of poor quality), you will be charged a penalty. This is to guarantee quality experience to the customer. This is only a problem when you are not an attentive seller.

Meesho Seller Support

No matter how easy to use the platform is, you may still find yourself with a problem or a question. That is where Meesho Seller Support comes in.

You may contact them directly via your Seller Panel

  • Log in to your Seller Panel.
  • The tab that you are looking for is the Support tab, normally placed on the left-hand menu.
  • You are able to browse through general topics or “Raise a Ticket” on a particular issue.
  • When creating a ticket, make sure you describe your issue and include such information as Order ID or Product ID.

The support team is able to assist you with:

  • Payment-related queries.
  • Order dispatch or delivery problems.
  • Assistance in the listing of products or managing your catalog.
  • Knowledge of any platform policies

Be patient and give clear information in order to have a quicker resolution.

Tips for Success as a Meesho Seller

The following are pro tips to grow your online business:

  • Master Your Photography: Your product photos make everything. Spend time learning how to capture clean, bright and nice looking pictures. You do not have to have a DSLR camera; a good smartphone camera will do the trick. Use natural light and shoot the product in all angles.
  • Price Intelligently: Check Meesho to know what others are selling at. Because you have a 0% commission advantage, you are able to frequently offer a better price. You can also run a sale every now and then or provide combo deals to attract more customers.
  • Become a Next Day Dispatch (NDD) Seller: When you are shipping your orders within 24 hours regularly, you can become a NDD seller. This badge will create confidence in the minds of customers and can help your sales a great deal, since NDD products are frequently promoted by Meesho.
  • Make Your Inventory Fresh: It is not enough to put 10 products and forget about them. Constantly introduce new designs and products to your catalog. This will ensure your store looks new and will give repeat customers a reason to revisit your store.
  • Target 4+ Star Rated Products: Target to get good ratings. The products that have high ratings are displayed more frequently by the algorithm of Meesho. What is the key to good ratings? By offering good quality products, delivering them in time and giving the correct description.
  • Use Meesho Ads (Wisely): When you have a couple of good selling products, you can put a small budget into Meesho Ads. This has the potential of exposing your products to thousands of potential consumers, especially during holidays. Start small, test what is working and then expand.
  • Examine Your Data: The Seller Panel can give you data on what of your items are being viewed the most and which are selling the best. Use the information to know the customer trends and determine what to stock more of.
