How to Sell on AJIO

Selling on AJIO can be a smart move if your products fit a fashion-and-lifestyle audience that values presentation, quality, and reliable delivery. Unlike broad marketplaces where almost anyone can list immediately, AJIO tends to feel more curated, which means your catalog quality and operations matter from day one.

This guide walks you through the complete process: what you need before you apply, how AJIO seller registration works, how to list products correctly, how fulfillment typically flows, and how to scale without hurting margins. I’ve also included practical checklists and common mistakes so you can avoid slow approvals and listing rejections.

You can use this article as a “start-to-launch” blueprint whether you’re a manufacturer, brand owner, retailer, or someone setting up a new D2C line.

What makes AJIO different from other marketplaces

AJIO is strongly positioned around fashion and lifestyle. That impacts what the platform expects from sellers:

Strong emphasis on catalog quality

High-quality images, accurate attribute mapping (size, color, fabric, fit), and clean titles matter more than you think. It impacts discovery, conversions, and returns.

A more controlled brand environment

If you’re selling branded items, you’re typically expected to prove your right to sell them. That might be trademark ownership or a brand authorization letter.

Operations and consistency are part of the “product”

Even a great product struggles if dispatch is inconsistent or packaging is weak. On fashion marketplaces, customer experience is tightly linked to repeat purchases.

Who can sell on AJIO

Most legitimate businesses that can meet compliance and quality requirements can apply, including:

• Brand owners and manufacturers
• Importers and authorized distributors
• Retailers with compliant inventory and documentation
• D2C brands expanding to marketplaces
• Private label sellers (especially in fashion and lifestyle categories)

The key is not your “type,” but whether you can satisfy documentation, product authenticity, catalog standards, and operational readiness.

Before you apply, confirm product-market fit

AJIO is not the place to list random general products and hope something sticks. You’ll usually do better if you plan for:

A focused category strategy

Pick a clear lane:

• Women’s wear, men’s wear, kids’ wear
• Footwear
• Accessories (bags, belts, watches, etc.)
• Beauty and personal care (where applicable)
• Home and lifestyle (select segments)

Your early catalog should look cohesive, not scattered.

Visual consistency

Fashion platforms reward sellers who look “brand-ready.” Even if you’re not a big brand, aim for:

• Consistent background style across product images
• Multiple angles
• Clear close-ups for fabric/texture
• Size charts where relevant

Return-risk reduction

Returns in fashion can rise quickly if sizing and descriptions are vague. You want:

• Accurate measurements
• Fit guidance (slim/regular/oversized)
• True color representation
• Fabric and care details

This is not “extra.” It’s how you protect your margin.

AJIO seller registration requirements and documents

Think of onboarding as a compliance + trust process. The faster you provide accurate information, the smoother approval tends to be.

Business documents (common requirements)

While exact requirements can vary by seller type, you should generally keep these ready:

• Business registration details
• GST and tax information (as applicable)
• PAN details
• Registered address proof
• Authorized signatory details

Banking and payouts

You’ll need bank account details for payment settlements. Keep:

• Account holder name matching your business entity
• Cancelled cheque / bank proof (if requested)
• Correct IFSC and account number

Brand ownership or authorization

If you sell products under a brand name, AJIO may require:

• Trademark certificate (if you own the brand), or
• A brand authorization letter (if you’re an authorized reseller)

This is one of the most common reasons seller applications slow down: sellers apply without clear brand proof.

Step-by-step process to start selling on AJIO

Here’s a clean, practical sequence you can follow.

Step 1: Prepare a seller-ready folder

Before you even open the portal, create one folder with:

• Business details (legal name, address, contact info)
• GST/PAN and related proofs
• Bank account details
• Brand authorization/trademark proof
• Product catalog basics (SKUs, sizes, pricing, inventory)

This avoids “pause and scramble” during onboarding and speeds up your first listings.

Step 2: Apply via AJIO’s seller portal

AJIO has an official seller area where resources and workflows are managed. Follow the onboarding flow, submit business information, upload documents, and ensure all details match across documents. Even small mismatches (spelling, address formatting) can delay verification.

Step 3: Complete verification and approval steps

After submission, the platform reviews your documents and business profile. If the platform asks follow-up questions, reply quickly and precisely.

Pro tip: If your catalog is brand-led, be ready to show brand documentation early. That is often the difference between a fast approval and a long back-and-forth.

Step 4: Set up your seller dashboard basics

Once approved, you’ll typically configure:

• Pickup/dispatch settings (depending on model)
• Warehouse details (if applicable)
• Contact and support details
• Return address rules (as applicable)
• Invoicing and tax settings

Don’t rush this setup. A wrong warehouse address or incorrect tax settings can create operational issues later.

Understanding AJIO’s selling and fulfillment model

AJIO’s seller documentation and ecosystem references often discuss structured processes around cataloging, inventory, and order movement. The key operational takeaway is simple:

• Your product data must match the product you ship
• Your packaging and labeling must be consistent
• Your dispatch must be reliable
• Quality issues can create returns, rejections, or account friction

How to list products on AJIO the right way

Listing is where sellers either build momentum or get stuck in rejections and low visibility. AJIO’s own guidance highlights the importance of detailed product information, so treat product listing like a conversion and returns-reduction system, not a formality.

Create listings that are clear, searchable, and “return-resistant”

1) Titles that shoppers actually search

A good title usually includes:

• Product type (shirt, dress, sneakers)
• Key attribute (cotton, slim fit, oversized)
• Gender/segment (women/men/kids if relevant)
• Style hook (mandarin collar, A-line, chunky sole)

Avoid keyword stuffing. Keep it readable first.

2) Descriptions that answer the “silent questions”

A strong description reduces returns because it sets accurate expectations. Include:

• Fabric/material and feel
• Fit type (slim/regular/relaxed)
• What’s included (pack of 1, set, etc.)
• Care instructions
• Occasion cues (casual, office, festive)
• Measurements or size guidance where relevant

3) Attribute completion (this impacts discoverability)

In fashion marketplaces, attributes often determine whether your product shows up in filters. Be meticulous with:

• Size system (S/M/L or numeric)
• Color
• Fabric/material
• Pattern
• Sleeve length / neckline / rise (category dependent)
• Fit type
• Occasion

If attributes are incomplete, you can lose both visibility and conversion.

4) Image quality that feels “brand-ready”

Minimum best practices:

• Front, back, side images
• Detail shots (stitching, texture, logos, soles)
• Accurate colors (avoid heavy editing)
• Consistent lighting and background

Good images reduce “expectation gap,” which is a major return driver in apparel.

Product listing checklist you can reuse for every SKU

Use this checklist before publishing:

• Title contains product type + key differentiator
• Description includes fabric, fit, care, and what’s included
• Images include multiple angles and close-ups
• Size chart is included where appropriate
• All attributes are filled correctly
• Price and MRP are set intentionally (not random)
• SKU mapping is clean for each variant (size/color)

This simple discipline prevents avoidable issues at scale.

Pricing strategy for AJIO sellers (without losing margin)

Pricing on AJIO isn’t just “what customers will pay.” It’s also what you’ll keep after fees, shipping, and returns.

Build a bottom-up pricing model

Start with:

• Product cost (COGS)
• Packaging cost
• Fulfillment/shipping cost
• Returns allowance (especially for apparel)
• Platform fees/commission (varies by category and terms)
• Target profit margin
• Buffer for discounts during campaigns

Some seller guides mention typical commission ranges, but these can vary by category, seller agreements, and time. Treat any number as directional and confirm your exact commercial terms during onboarding. 

Don’t win by being the cheapest

On a fashion-forward marketplace, many sellers win by:

• Better visuals and accurate details
• Faster, more reliable dispatch
• Stronger reviews and fewer complaints
• Lower returns from better sizing clarity

Price matters, but trust and clarity often matter more.

How to grow on AJIO (a practical scaling roadmap)

Growth on AJIO usually comes from combining catalog excellence with operational consistency. Here’s a roadmap you can follow.

Phase 1: Win the first 30–60 days with a tight catalog

Start with a focused set of SKUs you can fulfill flawlessly. Your goals:

• Clean listings
• Reliable dispatch
• Low defects
• Strong early customer satisfaction

Avoid launching with hundreds of SKUs unless you already have strong systems.

Phase 2: Optimize for discovery and conversion

Improve:

• Titles with natural, searchable phrasing
• Attribute completion for filters
• Image upgrades for best-sellers
• Descriptions that remove doubts

Most sellers underestimate how much conversion improves when sizing and fabric details are crystal clear.

Phase 3: Expand assortment based on what already works

Don’t expand randomly. Expand from winners:

• Add colorways for top sellers
• Add adjacent styles (same fabric, different cut)
• Add complementary products (accessories for apparel lines)
• Add seasonal variants (winter layers, summer basics)

This builds a cohesive “store identity” instead of a scattered inventory.

Phase 4: Use promotions strategically

Promos work best when:

• You can fulfill volume spikes
• Your inventory is stable
• Your ratings are strong
• Your promo floor is calculated

Promos work poorly when:

• You’re already seeing high returns
• Your dispatch is inconsistent
• Your margin cannot handle discounts

If your goal is to expand your fashion/lifestyle assortment without taking large inventory risks too early, Spocket can support a more flexible catalog strategy. The practical advantage is being able to test demand patterns and expand into adjacent product types in a controlled way, instead of locking cash into deep stock immediately.

Common mistakes that slow approvals or hurt performance

Even if your AJIO seller account gets approved, small operational gaps can quietly block growth. Here are the most common mistakes sellers make—and why they matter:

Applying without clear brand proof

If you’re selling branded products, missing authorization/trademark documentation is a common reason for delays. 

Uploading incomplete catalogs

Incomplete attributes, weak images, or vague descriptions can lead to:

• Listing issues or low visibility
• Poor conversion
• Higher returns

Pricing without planning for returns and promos

If your margins are thin, a return spike or campaign discount can turn “sales” into losses.

Poor SKU discipline

Messy SKU mapping leads to wrong shipments, cancellations, and support issues.

Launching too big, too early

A smaller catalog executed perfectly usually beats a huge catalog executed poorly.
