You share your documents. We take care of the rest — registration, verification, brand approval, catalogue setup, compliance check, and your first live listing — all within an average of 7 working days.
What Is eCommerce Seller Onboarding
Seller onboarding is the complete process of registering your business on an eCommerce marketplace, getting your brand verified, building your product catalogue, and going live for customers to find and buy from you. It sounds straightforward — but every platform has its own set of requirements, portals, approval stages, and compliance rules.
Here is what most sellers run into when they try to do it on their own:
Different portals, different rules
Amazon Seller Central, Flipkart Seller Hub, Nykaa's brand portal, Ajio Business — each has a completely different interface, documentation requirement, and approval process.
Document errors cause delays
A mismatch in your GSTIN, a missing trademark certificate, or an incorrect HSN code can halt your onboarding for days or even weeks.
Category approvals are not automatic
Beauty, food, electronics, toys — restricted categories require additional licences (FSSAI, CDSCO, BIS) and manual approval from the platform team.
Listing mistakes cost sales
Wrong product titles, missing keywords, non-compliant images — even after approval, a poorly set-up catalogue can keep your products invisible in search results.
Quick commerce has different rules entirely
Zepto and Swiggy Instamart operate on a dark store model with strict FSSAI requirements, near-expiry policies, and city-level configuration — a world apart from standard marketplace onboarding.
First-time sellers risk account suspension
Sellers who set up accounts incorrectly or unknowingly violate platform policies often find their accounts restricted before they even make their first sale.
This is exactly where Arvian's eCommerce seller service changes the game. Our team has navigated every platform, every category, every approval workflow — so you do not have to learn the hard way. We bring the expertise, you bring the products. Together, we get you selling.
We Onboard Sellers Across India's Top eCommerce Marketplaces
Every marketplace is a different ecosystem with its own seller rules, commission structures, content standards, and compliance requirements. Arvian has deep, hands-on expertise across all major Indian eCommerce platforms — so no matter where you want to sell, we know exactly how to get you there.
Amazon Seller Onboarding Services
Amazon is the world's largest eCommerce marketplace and India's most competitive. Starting right on Amazon is everything. A poorly structured account leads to listing suppression, account health warnings, and lost sales before you even build momentum. Our Amazon seller onboarding service ensures your account is built the right way, the first time.
What we handle for your Amazon onboarding →
✔ Seller account registration on Amazon Seller Central (India)
✔ GST certificate and PAN verification submission
✔ Business profile, bank account, and payment method configuration
✔ Fulfilment method selection — FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) vs. FBM (Seller-shipped) vs. Easy Ship
Selling TO Amazon, not just ON Amazon. Vendor Central is Amazon's invitation-only B2B programme where Amazon buys your products wholesale and sells them directly — meaning Amazon becomes your customer. It is a different model, different portal, and a very different strategy.
Most agencies shy away from Vendor Central because of its complexity. Arvian's team has worked with brands navigating the Vendor Central invitation process and understands what it takes to set up and succeed in this B2B model.
Our Amazon Vendor Central onboarding covers →
✔ Explaining the Vendor Central vs. Seller Central distinction and helping you decide which is right for your brand

✔ Pricing strategy for the Meesho buyer demographic

But selling on quick commerce platforms is fundamentally different from traditional marketplaces. Arvian's team understands the supplier requirements and helps you navigate the Instamart onboarding process seamlessly.

Real Results — Brands We've Launched on Leading Marketplaces
eCommerce seller onboarding is the complete process of registering your business on a marketplace, getting your brand verified, building your product catalogue, meeting compliance requirements, and going live for customers to find and purchase your products. Depending on the platform, this process involves document submission, category approvals, listing setup, and logistics configuration. A fully onboarded seller has a verified account, live products, and an operational store — ready to receive orders.
With complete documentation, most Amazon onboardings are completed within 5-8 working days and Flipkart onboardings within 3-6 working days. At Arvian, our average across all platforms is 7 working days from the date of full document submission. Factors that can extend timelines include brand approval wait times, restricted category approvals, or incomplete documentation — all of which our team actively manages to minimise delays.
The standard documents required across most platforms include: GSTIN (GST registration certificate), PAN card (individual or business), cancelled cheque or bank statement, registered business email and mobile number, and product images. Depending on your category and platform, additional documents may include: trademark certificate (for brand registry), brand authorisation letter, FSSAI licence (food products), CDSCO registration (cosmetics/drugs), BIS certification (electronics, toys), and import-export code (for international brands). Arvian provides a custom document checklist specific to your category and platforms.
Absolutely. In fact, multi-platform parallel onboarding is one of Arvian's biggest strengths. Many documents — GSTIN, PAN, brand trademark — are shared across platforms, so we submit to all target marketplaces in parallel rather than sequentially. This significantly reduces total time-to-live. Our most popular package covers 3 platforms simultaneously.
Amazon Seller Central is a B2C model where you sell directly to customers on Amazon as a third-party seller. You control pricing, inventory, and fulfilment. Amazon Vendor Central is a B2B model — Amazon buys your products wholesale directly from you and sells them to customers under Amazon's own fulfilled badge. Vendor Central is invitation-only and works differently in terms of PO management, pricing, and co-op marketing. Arvian handles both models — we help you decide which is right for your brand and manage the full setup either way.
Nykaa and Ajio both prioritise brand authenticity, so a trademark certificate significantly strengthens your brand approval application. If you do not yet have a trademark, a brand authorisation letter from the manufacturer (if you are a reseller) is often accepted. Arvian's team helps you prepare whichever documentation is most suitable for your situation and handles all submissions and follow-ups with the platform's brand team.
Arvian's onboarding packages start at a transparent flat fee depending on the number of platforms and scope of service. Our Starter package (single platform) is designed for first-time sellers, our Multi-Platform Growth package is the most popular, and our Enterprise package covers all platforms including quick commerce and Vendor Central. Contact us for a customised quote — we will give you an exact price on the free consultation call with no obligation.
Yes — and this is an area where specialist knowledge really matters. Both Zepto and Swiggy Instamart have strict FSSAI licence requirements, near-expiry policies, dark store integration guidelines, and city-level availability setups that are very different from traditional marketplace onboarding. Our team has navigated quick commerce onboarding for FMCG brands and knows exactly what these platforms need. If you do not yet have your FSSAI licence, we can guide you through that process too.
Vaaree is a curated marketplace focused on home and living — décor, furniture, furnishings, kitchenware, and lifestyle products. It is a growing platform with a highly engaged audience of home-conscious shoppers. If your brand sells anything in the home category, Vaaree is a channel worth considering. Arvian handles Vaaree brand registration, catalogue setup, and full onboarding as part of our platform suite.
All Arvian onboarding packages include a post-go-live support window (14-60 days depending on your package). During this period, if any listing gets suppressed, account flags arise, or verification issues occur, our team handles it immediately. We also do a final compliance check before go-live to minimise the chances of post-launch issues. For ongoing account health management beyond the support window, we offer monthly account management services.
Yes. Arvian is a certified member of Flipkart's Service Provider Network (SPN) — a programme through which Flipkart recognises and certifies agencies that meet their standards for quality and expertise. This means you get onboarding support from a team that Flipkart itself has validated, with direct access to Flipkart's seller support channels when needed.
Yes. Onboarding is the beginning of your eCommerce journey, not the end. Arvian offers complete ongoing account management services for Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, and more — covering listing optimisation, inventory management, advertising campaigns (PPC), account health monitoring, and performance reporting. Many of our clients start with onboarding and continue with us as their long-term eCommerce management partner.
