Most sellers in India start with Amazon and Flipkart – and many stop there. That leaves a big opportunity on the table. JioMart and AJIO, both part of Reliance Retail, are growing marketplaces with loyal customers and often less competition per product than the two largest platforms.
In this guide, you will learn how to sell on JioMart and AJIO in 2026: who each platform suits, the documents you need, the onboarding process and the strategies that help new sellers grow.
JioMart vs AJIO: Which Platform Is Right for You?
| JioMart | AJIO | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Multi-category: grocery, FMCG, home & kitchen, electronics, fashion and more | Fashion and lifestyle: apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty and home décor |
| Best for | FMCG brands, home & kitchen, everyday essentials, value-focused products | Fashion brands, designers, D2C apparel and footwear labels |
| Buyer mindset | Value, convenience and everyday needs | Style, trends and brand discovery |
| Catalog expectations | Clear product images and accurate specifications | Premium, on-model photography and detailed size charts |
Many brands sell on both: everyday products on JioMart and fashion collections on AJIO.
Why Add JioMart and AJIO to Your Sales Channels?
- Reach new customers who prefer Reliance’s platforms over other marketplaces.
- Less crowded categories – it can be easier for a new brand to stand out than on Amazon or Flipkart.
- Reduce platform dependency – if one marketplace changes fees or policies, your business is not hit all at once.
- Strong brand positioning – AJIO in particular is known for curated fashion, which can lift your brand’s image.
- Reliance ecosystem – both platforms benefit from Reliance Retail’s reach and marketing.
Documents Required to Sell on JioMart and AJIO
- PAN card of the business or proprietor
- GST registration certificate – needed for most categories (see our GST guide for online sellers)
- Bank account details and a cancelled cheque
- Business address proof
- Brand documents – trademark certificate/application or brand authorisation letter if you sell branded products
- Category licences – for example, FSSAI for food and grocery products on JioMart
Brand ownership matters a lot on AJIO. If you are building your own label, consider registering your trademark early.
How to Sell on JioMart: Step by Step
1. Register on the official JioMart seller portal
Sign up on JioMart’s official seller/partner portal with your mobile number and email, and enter your business details exactly as they appear on your GST and PAN.
2. Submit KYC and business documents
Upload your GST certificate, PAN, bank details and address proof, plus any category-specific licences.
3. Sign the seller agreement
Review the commission structure, payment cycle, return policy and service levels before accepting the agreement.
4. Upload your catalog
Add products one by one or through bulk upload templates. Use correct categories, HSN codes, MRP, selling price, dimensions and weight. Listings go through a quality check before going live.
5. Choose fulfilment and go live
Select how orders will be shipped, set up your pickup address and inventory, and start accepting orders.
How to Sell on AJIO: Step by Step
1. Apply as a brand or seller
AJIO is more curated than general marketplaces. Apply through AJIO’s official seller/brand onboarding channel with details of your brand, product range, price points and existing sales channels.
2. Brand evaluation
AJIO’s team typically evaluates your brand positioning, product quality and catalog. A strong brand story, good reviews on other platforms and a professional website improve your chances.
3. Complete documentation and agreement
Once approved, submit KYC, GST, bank and brand documents and sign the commercial agreement.
4. Build a fashion-ready catalog
AJIO’s shoppers expect premium visuals. Plan for on-model photography, multiple angles, close-up fabric shots, accurate size charts and detailed fabric and care information. Govendor’s professional model photoshoot and product photography services are built for exactly this.
5. Launch and promote
Once your catalog is live, work with the platform’s promotions and sale events to build early sales and visibility.
Tips to Grow Your Sales on JioMart and AJIO
- Optimise titles and attributes: Use search-friendly titles with brand, product type, material, colour and size. Fill every attribute – filters depend on them.
- Invest in visuals: Clean, consistent images are the biggest conversion driver, especially in fashion.
- Price smartly: Compare prices across Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho so your listings stay competitive without destroying margins. Check fees with our marketplace calculators.
- Participate in sale events: Big sale days drive a large share of annual sales on both platforms.
- Keep inventory in sync: Overselling leads to cancellations and penalties. Sync stock across all your channels.
- Watch returns: In fashion, accurate size charts and honest product descriptions are the best way to cut returns.
- Respond to customer feedback: Ratings and reviews influence both ranking and buyer trust.
Common Challenges (and How to Solve Them)
- Catalog rejections: Usually caused by poor images, missing attributes or wrong categories. Follow each platform’s style guide closely.

- Payment reconciliation: Match every settlement with orders, returns, commissions and TCS deductions monthly.
