Seller onboarding policy
Last updated May 2026
Selling on BforBusiness is invitation-light but verification-heavy. We'd rather have fewer, trusted sellers than a flood of unverified ones. The steps below typically complete within 2โ3 business days.
1. Eligibility
- Active GSTIN and PAN, both in the legal entity's name.
- Cancelled cheque or bank statement matching the GSTIN entity.
- At least one warehouse in India with a valid pincode.
- Authorised signatory with email and Indian mobile number.
2. KYC
- PAN verification against the Income Tax NSDL service.
- GSTIN verification with the GSTN portal.
- Bank account verification via penny-drop (Razorpay).
- Address proof of one warehouse (utility bill, rent agreement or property tax receipt).
3. Brand & product approvals
- Manufacturers and authorised distributors can mark themselves as the brand owner; admin verifies before the green tick is shown.
- New brands and new categories can be requested from inside the new-listing wizard. Admin review is usually within 1 business day.
4. Listings
- Add one warehouse per pickup pincode with accurate stock.
- Define at least one price slab per listing (MOQ + per-unit price).
- Pick shipping: Shiprocket (default) or seller-managed.
- For bulk catalogues, use Seller โ Bulk upload with the supplied CSV template.
5. Going live
After KYC clears, listings are auto-published as soon as you save them. The first three orders go through an enhanced review โ please ensure prompt dispatch.
6. Ongoing requirements
- Maintain seller rating above 4.0 (rolling 30-day window).
- Dispatch on time on at least 95% of orders.
- Respond to dispute messages within 48 hours.
- Keep GSTIN and bank details current.
