So, you’re a brand looking to sell on Myntra? Let me tell you straight, this is not your everyday marketplace onboarding. I’ve seen brands struggle, wait for months, and even fall for fake agencies promising the moon. Myntra is premium, selective, and data driven it rewards those who are prepared and meticulous, not the ones looking for shortcuts. If you want to play here, you’ve got to understand the process, the challenges, and how to strategically position your brand to win not just list your products and hope for sales. Stick with me, and I’ll break down exactly what works, what pitfalls to avoid, and how top brands scale fast on Myntra.

Myntra Seller Approval Process Timeline: What to Expect (15 to 60 Days), often taking 15 days to 2 months.
Myntra’s documentation requirements are rigid, and even a single missing document can stall progress.
Key documents include:
Before onboarding, Myntra assesses the credibility and readiness of sellers.
They evaluate:
The catalog setup on Myntra is highly detailed and time consuming.
Sellers need to provide:
Any missing or incorrect details lead to delays in product listing and onboarding.
Here’s what nobody tells you about becoming a seller on Myntra. The platform rejects a significant percentage of brand applications. Not because these aren’t good brands but because most sellers don’t understand what Myntra actually looks for.
Let me share real stories of brands that faced rejection and the challenges they had to overcome to successfully register on Myntra.
The Situation:
Engee was doing decent business through their own website. When they applied to register on Myntra as a seller, they received the rejection email.
Why Myntra Rejected Engee: Your social commerce presence is not strong enough. No presence on other marketplaces.
The Core Issues:
What Needed to Change:
Engee had to understand that Myntra wants brands already winning elsewhere. They needed to build their marketplace foundation first establishing presence on Amazon and Flipkart, amplifying social engagement through meaningful content, and documenting their traction properly before re-approaching Myntra.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: Sometimes you need to build your foundation before reaching for the top platform.
The Situation:
Clochoice was already selling on Amazon and Flipkart with decent performance. They approached a third-party consultant for Myntra onboarding someone who promised quick results.
Why Myntra Rejected Clochoice Seller: They had only 40 SKUs, which the platform considered insufficient.
The consultant couldn’t help. Clochoice was left frustrated.
The Real Problem:
It wasn’t just the SKU count. Their application had:
What Needed to Change:
Rather than simply adding more products, Clochoice needed to reposition their existing 40 SKUs as a curated, premium collection. The focus shifted from quantity to quality upgrading all product content to Myntra’s premium standards and building a compelling brand narrative that emphasized exclusivity over volume.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: It’s not always about how many products you have it’s about how you present them. Myntra values quality brands, not just large catalogs.
The Situation:
Caojwel seemed to have everything going for them:
Yet Myntra rejected their seller registration.
The Hidden Issues:
Despite surface level strength:
What Needed to Change:
Having followers and traffic isn’t enough you need to prove you can convert them into paying customers. Caojwel needed to document their website conversion metrics professionally, boost actual social engagement (not just follower count), and potentially establish a soft presence on another marketplace to demonstrate ecommerce readiness.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: Documentation and proof of conversion capability matter as much as traffic numbers.
The Situation:
House of Elora was a premium brand with beautiful products, elegant packaging, and strong brand identity. Perfect for Myntra, right?
Myntra rejected them.
Why Myntra Rejected House of Elora Seller: “Less visibility on Amazon.”
This was particularly frustrating because House of Elora had deliberately avoided Amazon’s discount-heavy marketplace to maintain premium positioning.
The Strategic Dilemma:
How do you build Amazon presence without diluting premium brand value?
What Needed to Change:
The solution was creating Amazon presence strategically premium positioning, limited SKUs, no deep discounts. Focus on quality reviews over volume, build an Amazon Brand Store reflecting premium aesthetics, and document brand authority through press mentions and influencer features.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: Sometimes Myntra’s requirements feel contradictory to your brand positioning. The key is finding creative ways to satisfy their criteria without compromising your brand identity.
The Situation:
This one might surprise you.
Valiente Zura Fitness had something most brands dream of: Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan two of India’s biggest cricket stars wearing their caps.
Celebrity credibility? Check.
Social proof? Check.
Media coverage? Check.
Yet Myntra rejected their registration.
The Missing Pieces:
Despite celebrity associations, the application lacked:
What Needed to Change:
Celebrity endorsement is a brand boost not a brand foundation. Valiente Zura needed to leverage their celebrity content professionally with proper documentation, build structured ecommerce presence on Amazon and Flipkart, create marketplace ready product catalog with professional photography, and connect the celebrity association to a complete brand story.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: Celebrity endorsement opens doors but you still need the right key to walk through them. Myntra evaluates ecommerce readiness, not just brand fame.
The Situation:
Huesion’s story is unfortunately common and a cautionary tale for every brand considering Myntra onboarding.
They had a solid catalog of 120 SKUs. Enough for any marketplace.
They hired an external agency that promised Myntra onboarding. The agency collected fees, submitted a half prepared application, and…
Rejected.
When Huesion asked why, the agency had no answers.
What Went Wrong:
The rejected application had:
The agency had essentially submitted a rushed, incomplete application hoping for the best.
What Needed to Change:
Everything needed rebuilding from scratch full brand documentation, professional product photography for all 120 SKUs, correct category mapping with proper attribute filling, complete legal and compliance paperwork, and a compelling brand narrative highlighting unique value proposition.
Key Takeaway for Myntra Sellers: Inexperienced agencies often deliver expensive failures. Myntra onboarding requires expertise, not just form filling. The right partner makes all the difference.
Here’s the detailed breakdown of how to become a seller on Myntra:

This is the initial account creation step where you establish your Myntra Partner account.
Contact Information Required:
OTP Verification Process:
You’ll receive OTP on both mobile and email. Verify both OTPs to proceed to the next step.
Set Account Credentials:
At this point, your Myntra Partner account is successfully created.
Pro Tip: Use your primary business email and a mobile number that’s always accessible. All critical communications from Myntra approval status, policy updates, order notifications will come to these contact details.

Once your account is created, log into the Myntra Partner Portal to begin the detailed registration process.
First Action After Login: GST Verification
The portal will immediately ask you to verify your GST number. Enter your GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), and the system automatically verifies your GST details. Your business name and address will auto-populate from GST records.
Important: Ensure your GST is active and all details are up-to-date. Discrepancies in GST information can cause delays in your approval process.

After GST verification, you need to complete two important sections that establish your business identity on the platform.
Section 1: Contact Information
This section captures your communication details:
Section 2: Company Information
This section establishes your business credentials:
Click Next to proceed to business details.

This step determines your operational model on Myntra.
Select Your Business Model:
Myntra offers multiple business models suited for different seller types. You’ll see these options:
For First-Time Onboarding: Select PPMP C+L
This is the default and recommended model for new sellers because it offers a standard commission-based structure where Myntra handles logistics, has a lower entry barrier for new brands, and allows you to upgrade to other models later based on your sales performance and operational reliability.
Detailed information about each business model and their commercial implications is explained in the Seller Models section below.

This is a critical step that directly impacts your order fulfillment capability and delivery performance on Myntra.
Required Warehouse Information:
Enter your warehouse location pin code.
Provide full address including building name, street, area, and landmark.
Mention warehouse working hours (e.g., 9 AM - 7 PM, Monday to Saturday).
Enter the number of orders you can process daily.
Email of warehouse manager or in charge.
Mobile number of warehouse contact person.
Pro Tips for Warehouse Details:
Be realistic about your order processing capacity. If you can genuinely process 50 orders per day, don’t write 200. Overcommitting leads to fulfillment failures, delayed shipments, and poor seller ratings that affect your visibility on the platform.
Accurate timings matter significantly because courier partners schedule pickups based on your stated operational hours. Incorrect timings result in missed pickups, which cause delayed deliveries and customer dissatisfaction.
Ensure the warehouse contact person is always reachable during operational hours. Myntra’s logistics partners may call for pickup coordination, address verification, or issue resolution.

Myntra requires complete and accurate banking information for processing your order settlements.
Required Bank Information:
Document Upload:
Upload a clear, legible image of a cancelled cheque. Ensure that the account number and IFSC code are clearly visible on the cheque. Accepted formats include JPEG, PNG, and PDF with size limits as specified on the portal.
Bank Validation Process:
For validation purposes, Myntra credits a small amount (usually ₹1-2) to your bank account. This confirms that your bank details are correctly entered and the account is active. Monitor your bank statement to verify receipt of this validation amount.

The Brand Details tab is comprehensive and captures everything Myntra needs to evaluate your brand. This section is divided into multiple subsections, and accuracy here significantly impacts your approval chances.
Subsection 1: Brand Information
This captures your brand identity:
Subsection 2: Catalog Details
Provide a preview of your product catalog:
Subsection 3: Nature of Business
Select the option that best describes your business relationship with the brand:
You own the brand and also manufacture the products yourself.
You are an authorized distributor for an existing brand.
You resell products with proper brand authorization.
You own the brand and deal in import or export of products.
You manufacture products for other brands (white-label).
Subsection 4: Document for Proof
Based on your nature of business selection, you need to provide proof of brand authorization.
If you have a registered Trademark:
If you don’t have a registered Trademark:
You have two options to establish brand ownership:
Important: Whichever document you choose (NOC or Indemnity Bond), you must print it on your company letterhead. This ensures legal validity and confirms that no one else can sell products under your brand name on the platform. Fill in all required details, sign with company seal, and upload the completed document.
Subsection 5: Average MRP
This subsection captures your pricing structure:
USP of the Brand (50 Words):
This is an extremely important field that directly impacts your approval. Fill it thoughtfully.
Your USP should clearly communicate what makes your brand unique, your target customer segment, quality differentiators, any special certifications or materials, and your brand’s core value proposition.
Example of Strong USP:
“Premium handcrafted ethnic wear for modern Indian women. We use 100% organic fabrics with traditional block printing techniques from Jaipur artisans. Each piece undergoes 12 point quality check. Trusted by 50,000+ customers with 4.5 star average rating across platforms.”
Example of Weak USP:
“We sell good quality clothes at affordable prices. Best products in market.”
This step determines where your products will appear in Myntra’s catalog structure.
Category Selection Options:
You need to choose from two classification levels:
Choose your categories carefully as this determines your visibility in relevant searches and browse pages.

After selecting your categories, you need to provide detailed assortment information for each category.
Required Information for Each Category:
Select the main category under which your products will be listed.
Add an additional category if your product fits multiple classifications.
Mention the expected monthly revenue from each category.
Specify the product types (e.g., Shirts, Kurtas, Dresses, Footwear).
Provide the average selling price (ASP) for each article type.
Indicate the number of SKUs or styles available for each article type.
Adding Multiple Article Types:
If you have varied products across different article types, add each article type separately with its specific details. For example, if you sell both Shirts and T-shirts, add them as separate article types with their respective average selling prices and catalog width.
This detailed breakup helps Myntra understand your catalog depth and product mix, which influences their evaluation of your brand’s fit for the platform.

This subsection captures the size specifications for your products.
Required Selections:
Ensure consistency between your category classification, assortment breakup, and sizing information. Inconsistencies may raise questions during manual review.
This section captures your existing online selling presence across various platforms.
Critical Question: Are you selling on any other marketplaces?
WARNING: Selecting “No” significantly increases your chances of rejection.
Why This Matters:
Myntra uses this information to verify that you have experience selling online, you can handle e-commerce operations and fulfillment, you have a proven track record of sales, and your products have demonstrated market demand.
If You Select “Yes“:
You’ll need to provide details for each platform where you’re currently selling:
Store link, monthly orders, and monthly revenue.
Store link, monthly orders, and monthly revenue.
Store link and monthly orders.
Store link and monthly orders.
Website URL, monthly traffic, monthly orders, and total online business.
Provide relevant details for any other platforms you sell on.
Pro Tip: This is precisely why brands like Engee, Caojwel, and House of Elora faced initial rejection. Having no marketplace presence means Myntra cannot verify your selling capability, which makes them hesitant to onboard you.
Click Next to proceed to the final step.

This is the final step before your application goes for review.
Final Review:
Before submitting, carefully review all the information you’ve provided:
Declaration:
Submit Your Application:
Click the Submit button to complete your registration.
Immediately After Submission:
You’ll receive an email from Myntra confirming that your registration has been completed and your application is now under review. Save this confirmation email for your records.
Now begins the waiting period where Myntra’s team manually reviews your application.
Expected Timelines:
Best case strong application with an established brand presence.
Average case complete application with moderate brand presence.
Complex cases or during periods of high application volume.
Possible for weak applications or submissions with major gaps.
During This Period:
Myntra manually reviews every profile against their quality and brand standards. They may reach out via email or phone if they need additional documentation or clarification. Keep your registered email and phone accessible at all times. Avoid repeatedly following up as it won’t speed up the process.
What Myntra Evaluates:
Once your application is approved, follow these steps to go live on the platform:
Log into your Myntra Partner Portal and look for your seller agreement. Review all terms and conditions carefully, then accept the agreement to unlock further functionality.
If you need to list products in a category you didn’t select during registration (for example, you want to list in Unisex but only selected Men’s and Women’s), you’ll need to raise a CTA (Category Approval) request, provide justification and sample products for the new category, and wait for approval before listing in that category.
Begin listing your products with complete and accurate information. Follow Myntra’s image guidelines strictly use high quality images with multiple angles and proper lighting. Ensure all product attributes are filled correctly including size, color, material, and care instructions.
Before scaling up, test your operational readiness:
Ensure you have Myntra compliant packing materials ready:
Simultaneously, raise your ticket for VMS (Vendor Management System) access. This provides complete operational control including order management, inventory tracking, returns processing, and performance analytics.
Create a comprehensive price calculator that factors in product cost, commission (15 to 30% depending on category), logistics costs, return costs (average 5 to 15%), GST, and your desired margin. Set up discounts and coupon codes for promotional activities.
Once you cross ₹70,000 in total sales, you become eligible for Myntra’s advertising tools including sponsored listings, banner advertisements, promotional campaigns, and category specific promotions.
Myntra offers several models.
Understanding them properly is crucial because it affects your costs, operations and growth path
This is the default model for new sellers.
2. You calculate your bank settlement price by adding:
3. You quote this bank settlement amount to Myntra.
4. Myntra sets the final seller price and customer selling price, which often ends up cheaper than using a traditional cost calculator that includes your logistics separately.
Pro Tip
When selling on Myntra, always factor in all fees commission, logistics, collection/shipping, and returns which together could be up to 40% of your selling price. Price your products accordingly to maintain healthy margins.
PPMP CC (Commission-Only)
Pricing & Settlement Insight:
You calculate bank settlement price as:
CC is not a replacement for CL. Once unlocked, you can operate in both CL and CC simultaneously depending on SKU, location, or strategy.
SJIT is Myntra’s fulfilment model that helps brands improve delivery speed and reduce costs by leveraging Myntra’s network of fulfilment centres (FCs).
Let’s say:
If you ship all orders from Delhi:
Now imagine your competitor is based in Bengaluru:
By moving your fast-moving SKUs to Myntra’s Bengaluru FC (via SJIT):
SJIT usually follows the PPMP CL structure:
Pro Tip: Place your products closer to where your customers live. Myntra can show the product’s nearby location on the first page, helping it get noticed faster and increasing chances of a sale..
Private Label, also called White Label, is one of Myntra’s most selective and strategic models. Unlike PPMP or SJIT, here you are not selling under your own brand instead, you become a manufacturing or sourcing partner for Myntra’s in-house brands.
Private Label is invite only or you can directly reach out to them. Not every seller can access it.
Myntra usually considers:
Essentially, you need to demonstrate operational reliability and quality before Myntra trusts you as a private label partner.
How It Works
Myntra Operations: Myntra lists, markets, and sells the product under its brand name, handling fulfillment is managed by sellers, customer service, and returns is managed by seller
The Omnichannel model is designed for established brands that are selling both online and offline. Unlike PPMP or SJIT, this model allows brands to integrate inventory across multiple channels and maintain a single order management system (OMS).
The Myntra LUX model is designed for premium and luxury brands, featuring products typically priced above INR 10,000. It focuses on high-value fashion items and operates on a Make-to-Order basis, ensuring exclusivity and minimizing inventory risk. This model is part of Myntra’s strategy to provide a premium shopping experience for discerning customers.
Getting onboarded on Myntra is just the beginning of your journey. The real challenge? Converting visibility into sales and building a sustainable, profitable business on the platform.
Whether you’re a new seller wondering how to increase sales on Myntra or an established brand looking to optimize your performance, this section covers proven strategies that top performing sellers use to dominate their categories.
Your product listings are the foundation of your Myntra success. Without proper optimization, even the best products remain invisible to potential customers.
Your product title is the first thing customers see and a critical ranking factor in Myntra’s search algorithm.
Best Practices for Myntra Product Titles:
Example of Optimized Title:
“Women’s Navy Blue Solid Cotton Blend A-Line Kurta with Embroidered Yoke”
This title includes: gender, color, pattern, material, style, product type, and design detail.
Product descriptions on Myntra serve dual purposes: they help customers make purchase decisions and provide keyword signals to the algorithm.
What to Include in Your Myntra Product Descriptions:
Pro Tip: Structure your descriptions with bullet points for easy scanning. Most Myntra shoppers browse on mobile devices and make quick decisions.
Images are the most influential factor in customer purchase decisions on Myntra. Poor images directly lead to low click-through rates and high return rates.
Myntra Image Optimization Checklist:
Visibility alone doesn’t guarantee sales. These strategies help convert browsers into buyers and maximize your revenue on the platform.
Launch New Products Regularly
Myntra’s algorithm rewards freshness. Brands that consistently add new products get better visibility in search results and category pages.
Recommended Product Launch Strategy:
Why This Works: New products get a visibility boost in the “New Arrivals” section and appear fresher to repeat customers browsing your brand page.
Myntra shoppers are highly price conscious and discount driven. Your pricing strategy directly impacts both visibility and conversion rates.
Myntra Pricing Optimization Tips:
Important: Myntra’s algorithm considers price competitiveness when ranking products. Overpriced products lose visibility even with good reviews.
India’s festival calendar presents massive sales opportunities on Myntra. Brands that align their catalog and marketing with these events see significant revenue spikes.
Important seasons and festivals with timelines and focus categories use this for planning launches, campaigns, and inventory.
| Season / Festival | Timeline | Focus Categories |
|---|---|---|
| Diwali | October to November | Ethnic wear, festive collections |
| Wedding Season | November to February | Bridal, occasion wear, accessories |
| Summer Collection | March – May | Lightweight, cotton, casual wear |
| Monsoon | June to August | Quick-dry, rainwear, footwear |
| End of Reason Sale | Bi-annual | All categories (heavy discounts) |
Festival Optimization Strategy:
Understanding how Myntra’s search algorithm works helps you optimize your listings for better rankings and organic visibility.
Myntra’s algorithm considers multiple factors when determining which products appear first in search results:
Performance Metrics:
Catalog Quality:
Operational Excellence:
Higher seller ratings directly translate to better product visibility and customer trust.
How to Maintain High Seller Ratings?
Rating Impact: Products from sellers with 4+ star ratings appear higher in search results and are more likely to be featured in curated collections.
Poor inventory management is one of the biggest reasons sellers lose sales and rankings on Myntra.
Products that go out of stock lose their ranking position quickly. When you restock, you essentially start from scratch in terms of visibility.
Inventory Management Tips:
Slow-moving inventory ties up capital and warehouse space. Address it proactively.
Strategies for Slow Moving Products:

Data driven optimization is what separates successful Myntra sellers from struggling ones.
| Metric | What It Measures | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Click-Through Rate (CTR) | Clicks / Impressions | Indicates title and image effectiveness |

Categorize your products based on visibility and sales performance to determine optimization actions:
1. High Visibility + High Sales (Stars):
2. High Visibility + Low Sales (Underperformers):
3. Low Visibility + High Potential:
4. Low Visibility + Low Sales (Dead Stock):

5. High Visibility + High Sales (Stars):
6. High Visibility + Low Sales (Underperformers):
7. Low Visibility + High Potential:
8. Low Visibility + Low Sales (Dead Stock):
Even experienced sellers make mistakes that cost them visibility and sales. Here are the most common pitfalls:
Myntra's filters rely on product attributes. Missing attributes can hide your product from size, color, material, or occasion filters.
Solution: Fill 100% of product attributes during listing creation.
Delayed inventory updates lead to cancellations, damaging seller rating and rankings.
Solution: Update inventory in real-time or at least twice daily.
Negative reviews left unaddressed hurt visibility and customer trust.
Solution: Respond to all reviews—thank positive ones, address negative ones professionally.
Sellers often never optimize listings even when data shows problems.
Solution: Review listing performance monthly and optimize weak products.
High return rates damage profitability and product ranking.
Solution: Use accurate size charts, clean images, and detailed descriptions.
Here’s a practical working framework for every Myntra seller to follow:
Success on Myntra requires a combination of great products, optimized listings, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
Remember These Fundamentals:
The sellers who treat their Myntra business as a living ecosystem—constantly monitoring, optimizing, and evolving—are the ones who build sustainable, profitable brands on the platform.
