As a fashion retailer, you need to be where your shoppers are. This makes it imperative to list your products on multiple marketplaces and online channels. However, listing on marketplaces poses some challenges. Some of the common ones are:
And the list goes on. Retailers struggle with cataloging teams to ensure consistency of data and faster turnaround times.
In this series of posts, we will guide you through the steps of setting up your account as well as product listings. Although some products will be unique and may require additional fields, this step-by-step process will cover the basics.
It is important to note that Myntra only allows business entities to register and not individuals who wish to sell on Myntra. Myntra seller registration allows only legally registered companies and entities to access the Myntra seller portal. Listed below are the four types of online sellers who can sell on Myntra,
If your company does not already have a Myntra Partner account, the first step is to create one. Register here or sign in with your seller account. Follow the steps to create a Myntra partner account:
Myntra’s team will evaluate the seller registration form and if your business meets Myntra’s set parameters to create a seller account, you’ll be asked for further information for the registration. Once you have the access to Myntra seller login, you can start managing your products in the portal.
Once Myntra verifies all your documents, you will be registered as a seller, and you can start to list your products on Myntra.
The next step is to ensure that you download the right product listing templates for your product category. Myntra has a common template across genders for various product categories. It is possible to fill out a single template with information about numerous products in various genders. These templates come in an excel format and include a list of mandatory attributes as well as optional attributes that need to be filled in for each product SKU. It is best to avoid the common mistake of choosing the wrong template, as this will ensure your feed’s rejection along with wasted time.
You are required to fill in specific details mandatorily for products such as product category, seller SKU, brand name and product ID among others. Other optional fields can be chosen to be filled or not depending on the seller.
This step requires you to upload the product listing template onto the Myntra Partner account platform. This is done either by selecting ‘Add a product’ (for a single product) or ‘Add products via bulk’ (for multiple products). You are provided with a unique Lot ID and tracking information regarding the success or failure of listing for each upload. Here you will find a ‘Lots’ and ‘Draft’ section. ‘Draft’ section will include all your uploads prior to submission and approval. When a lot is approved, it automatically shifts to the ‘Lots’ section, where it can be tracked further.
This step is optional and is needed only if your product listing template has failed to list. A list of errors along with the products is presented on the platform. To complete a successful product listing, they must be corrected in the upload file, re-uploaded and submitted again for review.
