Paytm Seller Registration

Platforms such as Paytm enable businesses of all sizes to expand and transcend regional borders. Paytm, funded by China’s Alibaba Group, is reshaping the Indian eCommerce landscape. Paytm began as an online mobile and DTH recharge service and has grown into a full-fledged eCommerce website selling a variety of goods and services ranging from electronics to bus ticket booking. With the platform experiencing rapid growth in terms of sales and consumer base, now is the ideal time to become a Paytm seller.

This article will discuss how to become a PaytmMall Seller and how to complete the Paytm seller registration process.

Eligibility to become a Paytm seller 

As a Paytm seller, any sole proprietorship, limited liability partnership, or private limited business may register. All transactions will be conducted through this corporate organization. New entrepreneurs or those with an established business who wish to become a Paytmseller should register their firm. Having a distinct legal corporation protects the promoters from liabilities in the event of a lawsuit. Due to the fact that the majority of eCommerce merchants sell to consumers throughout India, it is suggested that they have minimal liability protection. Additionally, VAT registration is essential to become a Paytm seller. However, VAT registration is not necessary for the sale of unstitched clothes, books, and/or handicrafts. On the other hand, a seller can start selling on Paytm without registering for VAT by making an undertaking to register for VAT. Paytm will withhold payments to the seller until Paytm receives proof of VAT registration.
