Navigate “Add New Listings”:

As explained in the Flipkart Seller Dashboard Tutorial, to get into the process of bulk listing on Flipkart, we have to navigate to the Listings tab and click on the “Add New Listings” option from the menu.

Navigate “Add Listings in Bulk”:

Once inside the tab, you will see two buttons. One for adding a single listing and the second for adding listings in bulk. Click on the second button.

Category Selection:

To list the products on Flipkart, as a Flipkart seller you need to select a category for your products. Remember, be sure of what category your product belongs to.

If you’re unsure, it’s better to take help from the Flipkart support team or ask me for Marketplace consultation. Marking your products under the non-relevant category will result in low or no sales.

Brand Selection:

After category selection, you will be prompted to choose your respective brand. If you’re not sure of this step, check the required documents and complete the process of brand approval on Flipkart.

Please note this step is mandatory and a very crucial part of the listing process. You won’t be able to sell on Flipkart if you don’t have valid documents required for brand approval.

Catalog Template and Flipkart image uploader:

This is where the actual process of bulk listing on Flipkart starts. The catalog template is the shrine of every bulk upload process on Flipkart. Flipkart has divided this process into two (optional) parts –

At the moment, it is an optional part of the process. All you need is to organize your product images into a specific name format and then upload it on the platform prior to uploading the catalog sheet. The Flipkart image uploader has its own set of benefits listed below –

In the video, I have filled up each column, step-by-step by uploading Shirts from the Clothing category. Similarly, you can upload your listings in this manner.

Here is the list of the important columns inside the Flipkart Catalog template –

• Seller SKU ID
• Brand
• Brand Color
• Pack Of
• Image URLs
• Group ID
• EAN/UPC
• Description
• Search Keywords
• Key Features

Seller SKU ID:

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit, in short SKU means your product. A unique code name for your product that can be identified by you during order processing.

Brand:

Your registered brand name under which you’re going to sell this product.

Brand Color:

The color of your brand or the color of the product you’re about to list on Flipkart.

Pack Of:

How many items you’re selling in one single sale. If you’re selling a single shirt in one order, mark it as 1. If you’re selling 3 Shirts in one single order, mark it as 3.

Image URLs:

Enter the respective image URLs of the products. If you would like to understand this step, please refer to the video or use the Flipkart image uploader, details shared above.

Group ID:

The most important column inside the Flipkart listing template. It defines the number of variations a product has (like the parent-child relationship in Amazon listings). Keep it unique for the same set of products with variations. For example, A single shirt may have variations in Size: Small, Medium, and Large. For the shirt, the SKU ID will be different but the Group ID for all these products will be the same.

EAN/UPC:

This is good to have but not a mandatory column inside the Flipkart template. EAN stands for European Article Number, is a unique identifier of a product. If you have it well and good, if not, feel free to ignore it.

Description:

A description is the product description that is seen by the buyer before making a purchase. Remember to fill in every tiny detail about your product which the buyer is looking for, in order to increase the chances of your sale. Sample shared below –

Search Keywords:

What are the phrases or keywords a buyer is typing on the Flipkart platform to look for your products? Enter the relevant search keywords inside this column, separated by a comma. For example, you’re selling a plain pink shirt on the platform. Your keywords will be, Solid pink shirts for men, Solid shirts for men, Pink shirts for men, Casual pink shirts for men, etc.

Now that you are done with the template. You need to submit the sheet on the platform by clicking the upload button –
