What is Blinkit Seller Hub?
Blinkit Seller Hub is Blinkit’s self-serve platform for registering a seller business, creating product listings and managing inventory. Brands use the portal to complete onboarding and access the tools needed to sell through Blinkit. [1]
Brand onboarding is the process of submitting and verifying the business, brand, payment and product information needed to prepare a brand for sale on a platform. It includes account setup and the operational tasks required before customers can buy the products.
A registered seller account is one milestone; customer availability is the final launch check.
Documents to prepare before you start
Keep the following information together so you can complete the application without repeatedly searching for files.
Information or document | What to prepare |
|---|---|
Business and tax details | GST certificate and the business details requested in the portal |
Brand information | Brand name, manufacturer details and logo |
Brand verification | Trademark certificate or brand application certificate, as specified in Blinkit’s seller guide |
Bank information | Account details for receiving payments |
Digital signature | The digital signature listed in Blinkit’s registration checklist |
Category-specific documents | FSSAI licence where applicable, plus any other documents requested for the category |
These requirements come from Blinkit’s public registration checklist and seller guide. The live application determines the exact documents needed for your account. [1, 3]
Practical preparation: also keep product names, pack sizes, identifiers, prices and image files in one folder or spreadsheet.
How to sell on Blinkit: the onboarding process
Step 1: Register through the official Seller Hub

Visit seller.blinkit.com and complete the sign-up instructions. [1]
Use business-controlled contact details. Keep access with the brand owner or an authorised team member so future verification and support messages reach the right person.
Blinkit states that it has no official partners for listing products and directs brands to Seller Hub. Use the official portal for registration and listing submissions. [5]
Step 2: Complete seller, brand and bank details

Enter the business information requested in the onboarding flow, submit brand-verification documents and add bank details. Blinkit’s guide shows seller details, brand details, bank details and shipping locations as parts of registration. [3]
Before submitting, check:
The business name and GST details against your records.
The brand name against the supporting brand document.
The bank details for typing errors.
The readability and validity of uploaded documents.
If the portal requests a correction, resolve that specific issue and resubmit the affected information.
Step 3: Check the charges before activating products

Review the applicable charges in Seller Hub before committing to your launch. Blinkit publishes separate charges for inwarding, storage, fulfilment and category commission, with returns and inventory-removal charges where applicable. [2]
Free registration does not mean selling on Blinkit has no cost.
Blinkit also states that a Product ID activation fee applies when activating a product, and that the amount is credited to the ads wallet. Check the amount and current terms displayed for your account. [2]
Practical check: compare the expected selling price with product cost, inbound transport and all applicable platform charges. Keep this review product-specific.
Step 4: Create your product listings
Add a Product screen from Blinkit's official Seller Hub guide. Enter details for the exact product and pack you are listing. Source: Blinkit seller guide
Use the product-creation option in Seller Hub to enter product details, category attributes, pricing and images. Blinkit’s guides show this workflow under Catalog & Pricing, with a verification-and-submission stage. Menu names may change. [3, 4]
Prepare a working catalogue with:
Product name and brand.
Pack size, unit and variant.
UPC/EAN or the identifier accepted through the portal.
Requested category attributes.
Pricing information.
Product images and any supporting category documents requested.
The product details in your listing should match the stock you dispatch.
Use accurate images and descriptions. For example, if you are listing a 100 g pack, check that its identifier, image and quantity all refer to that pack rather than another size.
Step 5: Confirm launch locations and supply details

Confirm the launch locations, designated warehouse and supplying-business details shown in Seller Hub. Blinkit's current Seller Hub guide states that APOB registration is no longer required to launch or scale a brand on Blinkit, effective 1 September 2025. Follow the current process instead of older APOB instructions. [4]
The same guide explains that inventory is billed to Blinkit (BCPL) and shipped to the identified BCPL location at a landing price. Before dispatch, verify the buyer details, warehouse address and invoice instructions issued for your consignment. [4]
As a practical check, ask your accountant to review the GST, HSN and invoice information relevant to your products and supply arrangement.
Step 6: Activate products and create the first shipment

Complete the product-activation requirements shown in your account, then follow the inventory workflow to select a warehouse, enter quantities, confirm the shipping address and choose the available delivery slot. [2–4]
Before dispatching, verify:
The correct warehouse and delivery instructions.
The products and quantities in the shipment.
Required invoices and shipment documents.
Packaging and barcode readability.
Any product-specific storage or shelf-life requirements shown in your account.
Blinkit’s seller guide explains that sellers arrange delivery to the warehouse at their expense; Blinkit transfers inventory onwards to dark stores. Follow the assigned warehouse instructions for your first delivery. [4]
Step 7: Confirm stock receipt and customer availability

After dispatch, use Seller Hub to check receipt and resolve any stock discrepancies. Review the listing and inventory status rather than treating the courier’s delivery confirmation as the end of onboarding. [3, 4]
As a practical final check, open the Blinkit app with a customer delivery address in your intended launch area and check whether the product is available there. If stock has been received but the product remains unavailable, raise the issue through Seller Hub support with the relevant product and shipment details.
Common onboarding mistakes to avoid
Submitting inconsistent details: Cross-check the business, brand and banking information before submission.
Ignoring activation and selling charges: Review the full applicable fee structure before sending stock.
Using the wrong product identifier: Match each listing to the exact pack or variant being dispatched.
Skipping supply details: Confirm the supplying-business and warehouse details before creating the shipment.
Assuming registration guarantees a launch date: Track listing, activation and inventory tasks separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can a new brand sell on Blinkit?
Yes. Blinkit’s public Seller Hub welcomes businesses of different sizes. A new brand can begin registration through the official portal and submit the requested business, brand and product information. Registration does not establish that every submitted product is approved or available to customers; complete the listing and inventory steps shown in your account.
What documents are required for Blinkit seller registration?
Prepare your GST certificate, bank account details, brand name, manufacturer details, logo and digital signature. Blinkit also lists an FSSAI licence where applicable. Its seller guide asks for a trademark certificate or brand application certificate. Check the live portal for any additional documents required for your business and product category.
How much does it cost to sell on Blinkit?
Blinkit states that seller registration is free. A Product ID activation fee applies when activating a product, with the amount credited to the ads wallet. Other applicable charges can include inwarding, storage, fulfilment, category commission, returns and inventory removal. Check your product-specific charges inside Seller Hub before committing stock.
How long does Blinkit brand onboarding take?
Blinkit says account onboarding can be completed in real time after successful document verification. That statement concerns onboarding, rather than a guaranteed date when customers can buy your products. Listing completion, any required location setup, activation and stock receipt are separate tasks. Use your account status and support responses to plan the launch.
Do I need barcodes to list products on Blinkit?
Blinkit’s seller guides require a product identifier such as a UPC or EAN for listing and warehouse scanning. Prepare a distinct identifier for each product or variant you intend to list. If you do not have identifiers, ask Seller Hub support about the currently available process before printing packaging or dispatching stock.
Do brands deliver Blinkit orders directly to customers?
Under the warehouse fulfilment process described in Blinkit’s seller guides, the seller delivers inventory to the selected Blinkit warehouse. Blinkit then transfers stock to its dark stores for customer fulfilment. Follow the warehouse, quantity and shipment instructions in your account, and arrange the inbound transport required for your first consignment.
Start with a complete onboarding file
Learning how to sell on Blinkit starts with a clear sequence: prepare the documents, register through Seller Hub, complete listings and commercial checks, confirm launch and supply details, and send the first shipment. Keep the process organised by tracking each product from submission to customer availability.
