How to register on meesho as a seller

Most people think selling online means renting a warehouse and spending lakhs before the first order ever comes in. It doesn’t. Meesho flips that. Zero commission, 11+ crore customers, and you can live before lunch.

But registration trips people up more than it should. A missing document, a GST mismatch, a skipped step, and you’re stuck before you’ve even started.

This guide walks you through everything: what documents you need, the full 5-step registration process, catalog upload, and what you can sell, start to finish.

What do you need before you register?

Before you touch the registration form, get these six things ready. Missing even one can stall the process midway.

‍GSTIN (15-digit): Your GST identification number, required for tax compliance and selling across India

PAN card: For business identity verification

Active bank account: Where Meesho’s logistic partner will collect your orders; the state in this address must match the state in your GSTIN

Mobile number: For OTP verification during registration and order notifications going forward

Email address: For account communication and updates

No GST number? You can still register. If you sell GST-exempt products, Meesho lets you sign up using an Enrollment ID or UIN, a unique identification number issued by the Indian government. You won’t need a GSTIN at all, just your UIN, mobile number, email, and bank details.

How to register in meesho as a seller: step-by-step

Five steps stand between you and a live Meesho seller account. Here’s exactly how to get through each one without a hitch.

Step 1: Create your account

Go to supplier.messho.com and click “Start Selling.” That’s your starting point. Mobile number in OTP verified, done. Then your email ID and a password are nothing complicated; just 8 characters with one uppercase, a number, and a special character somewhere in there. Before you move on, tick the WhatsApp notification option. Order updates go straight to your phone that way. Then click “ Create Account.”

Step 2: Verify your GST details

Enter your 15-digit and hit “Verify.” Meesho pulls up your business name, address, and GST status automatically. Give it a once-over if anything looks off, sort it before you continue.

Selling GST-exempt products? Select the non-GSTIN path and enter your Enrollment ID or UIN instead.

Pro tip: A cancelled or suspended GST number will fail verification instantly.

Confirm your GSTIN is active before you begin.

Step 3: Add your pickup address

This is the address Meesho’s logistics partner will use to collect your orders. Fill in your complete address, a nearby landmark, pin code, and a contact person’s name.

One thing people miss here: the state in your pickup address must match the state registered on your GSTIN. A mismatch will flag your account. You can always add more pickup addresses later from the supplier panel.

Step 4: Link your bank account

Enter your bank account number and IFSC code. Not sure of your IFSC? Use the” Find IFSC Code” option on the page.

The account must be in the name of your registered business, the same name as on your GSTIN. This is non-negotiable. Get this right, and your payments will hit your account within 7 days of order delivery.

Step 5: Set up your store

Almost there. Enter your full name and pick a store name. This is what customers will see on the Meesho app next to your listed products, so choose something that represents your business well.

Review everything one last time, agree to the terms and conditions, and click “Submit.” Your Meesho seller account is now live.

How to upload your first product catalog

Your account is live, but you’re not selling yet. The next step is uploading your product catalog. Meesho gives you two ways to do this: single upload or bulk upload.

Single catalog upload

Best if you’re starting with a small product range.

Go to catalog upload → add single catalog

Select your product category

Upload your front image first, then any additional product images

Fill in your product specifications and hit Submit for quality check

Bulk catalog upload

Got more products to list? This is the fastest route.

Go to catalog upload → add new catalog in bulk

Select your category and download the excel template provided

Fill in the template with: product name, description, selling price, color-size combinations, and stock quantity

Upload your product images separately, with white background images strongly recommended, as they tend to perform better

Upload the completed Excel sheet and submit

Catalogs typically go live within a few hours of passing quality checks. No long waiting period.

Here’s something most new sellers don’t know: having 5-7 catalogs active significantly increases your product visibility on the platform. More catalogs mean more surface area across Meesho’s search and category pages. Don’t launch with one catalog and wait to upload a few from day one.

Pro tip: Avoid duplicate products across catalogs. The bulk upload template has dropdown fields that must be filled using the given options. Free-text in those fields will get your submission rejected.

What you can and cannot sell on meesho

Meesho started with fashion and just kept going. The platform now covers just about everything:

Women’s ethnic and western wear, men’s and kids’ clothing

Jewelry and accessories

Home decor, kitchenware, and home essentials

Beauty and skincare

Electronic and mobile accessories

If you’re a manufacturer, wholesaler, or small business owner, chances are your product fits somewhere on this list.

That said, some products are strictly off the table:

Adult content or products

Illegal or counterfeit items

Anything that infringes on intellectual property rights, knockoffs, unauthorized branded goods, and the like

Meesho does not make exceptions here. Get this wrong, and your account gets suspended. Before you upload your first catalog, run your category against Meesho’s seller guidelines on the supplier portal. Two minutes now saves a headache later.

Key benefits of selling on meesho

The numbers make a strong case on their own. Here’s the short version of why Meesho works for sellers.

‍0% commission: Every rupee of profit stays with you, no deductions on sales

Logistics handled for you: Meesho's delivery network covers 28,000+ pin codes across India

For a first-time seller, that’s a hard combination to beat.

Conclusion

You now know exactly how to register on Meesho, upload your catalog, and start selling without paying a rupee in commission.
