How Nykaa seller registration works
Nykaa is not a self-serve signup. Like Myntra and Ajio, it reviews the brand and the catalogue before approving a seller, rather than opening registration to anyone with a GST number.
The application route runs through Nykaa’s brand or partner outreach channel rather than one universal public portal shared identically for beauty and fashion — the two catalogues (Nykaa for beauty, Nykaa Fashion for apparel) are reviewed somewhat separately, so apply against the one that matches what you actually sell.
What Nykaa is assessing: whether the brand is genuine and consistently presented, whether the catalogue is wide enough to be worth onboarding, and — for beauty and cosmetics specifically — whether the required product certifications and safety documentation are in place. A thin range of unbranded stock is not what this platform is built for.
| Platform | Model | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Nykaa Fashion | Curated, brand/selection-based | A registered fashion brand, or beauty/cosmetics with proper certification |
| Ajio | Curated, brand/selection-based | A registered fashion brand — see the full Ajio guide linked below |
| Meesho / Flipkart, for comparison | Open, self-serve | Unbranded wholesale stock, while you build a label |
What you need before you apply
- GSTIN matching your registered business name
- PAN — business PAN for a company, personal for a proprietorship
- Brand documentation — a trademark registration, or a dated authorisation letter if you are reselling an established brand
- Bank details in the registered business name, for settlement
- Product certifications — for beauty and cosmetics only: the safety and compliance documents Nykaa requires for that category

Ajio, in brief — and where to read the full process
Ajio runs the same shape of process: curated, selection-based, brand documentation required. Rather than repeat that here, the full Ajio seller guide covers registration, documents and fees end to end — this page exists for the Nykaa half that guide doesn’t cover.
The practical read for a seller weighing both: apply to whichever platform your product category fits better — Ajio skews wider fashion, Nykaa skews beauty-first with a fashion catalogue alongside it — rather than applying to both simultaneously and waiting on two reviews at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register as a seller on Nykaa?
Through Nykaa's brand or partner outreach channel, with your GSTIN, PAN, brand documentation (trademark or authorisation letter) and bank details ready. Nykaa reviews the brand and catalogue before approving, similar to Myntra — it is not an open self-serve signup like Meesho.
Can I sell on Nykaa without a registered brand?
It is unlikely to be approved. Nykaa is a curated platform reviewing brand presentation and catalogue quality, and unbranded wholesale stock is generally not what it onboards. Building a label on an open marketplace first, then applying once there is a brand behind it, is the more realistic route.
Is Nykaa seller registration the same process as Ajio?
Similar in shape — both are curated and selection-based rather than open signup — but they are separate applications through separate channels. The full Ajio process is covered on the dedicated Ajio seller guide; this page covers Nykaa specifically.
Do I need product certification to sell beauty products on Nykaa?
Yes, for cosmetics and beauty categories specifically — Nykaa requires the relevant safety and compliance documentation for that category on top of the standard business paperwork. Fashion-only sellers on Nykaa Fashion do not need this.
How long does Nykaa seller approval take?
Nykaa does not publish a fixed timeline the way Myntra does, and the review depends on category and how complete your documentation is at first submission. Budget for a review period measured in weeks rather than days, and confirm current expectations directly with Nykaa when you apply.
Nykaa publishes less of its onboarding process than Meesho or Flipkart do. Treat the specifics here as a starting point and confirm current requirements directly with Nykaa when you apply, rather than planning against any figure from a blog, including this one.
