How to be a seller on Ajio

‍TL;DR

Selling on Ajio means registering through Reliance's unified supplier portal, choosing between the JIT and Dropship fulfillment models, and getting your catalog approved category by category. The harder part comes after go-live: once Ajio orders start landing alongside Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and your own website, you need an OMS order management system that can sync inventory and route orders in real time, or you'll be canceling orders you can't actually fulfill.

Power your Ajio growth with Increff

At Increff, we've worked with fashion, lifestyle, and retail brands from fast-growing D2C businesses to large omnichannel retailers as they expand their presence across marketplaces like Ajio. Although registering and onboarding as an Ajio seller is a fairly straightforward process, establishing a profitable marketplace business demands much more than simply completing these initial steps. As brands grow across Ajio, their own website, offline stores, and other marketplaces, maintaining inventory accuracy, preventing overselling, and fulfilling orders efficiently become critical to delivering a consistent customer experience. 

How to Register as a Seller on AJIO

Which fulfillment models are offered by Ajio?

AJIO offers two primary fulfillment models to cater to diverse business requirements:

• JIT (Just-In-Time): You ship in bulk to Ajio's warehouses, where the team runs quality checks before dispatching to customers. This adds a quality layer but also adds transit time and a dependency on Ajio's inbound schedule.
• Dropship: Orders route straight from Ajio to your warehouse, and you or your logistics partner ship directly to the customer. This gives you more control and faster fulfillment, but it also means your own systems carry the full weight of order accuracy and SLA adherence.

Increff's Order Management System (OMS) seamlessly integrates with these fulfillment models, streamlining your operations and enhancing efficiency.

How does Increff's OMS solve order management for Ajio sellers?

Increff's Order Management System (OMS) provides near real-time visibility by exposing every unit of inventory to all your sales channels, including Ajio, ensuring that customers across every platform see identical stock levels. Rather than onboarding hurdles, new marketplace sellers often face inventory exposure challenges that only become apparent when order volumes surge. By synchronizing inventory and orders across D2C platforms, marketplaces, retail storefronts, and B2B channels within 5 to 10 seconds, the system effectively prevents a single SKU from overselling simultaneously on your website, Ajio, and Amazon.

To optimize fulfillment, intelligent routing assigns each order to the most suitable warehouse, dark store, or vendor based on proximity, stock availability, and delivery SLAs. This minimizes split shipments and transit delays, protecting your overall seller ratings. Furthermore, for long-tail or vendor-managed SKUs, the system can direct orders straight to a vendor for fulfillment, enabling sellers to test fresh product categories on Ajio without dedicating warehouse space or holding inventory firsthand.
