Note:

If an existing Snapdeal seller wants to use APIs either by itself or through a partner, Seller Onboarding is not needed.

Partners can register sellers on Snapdeal Marketplace using Onboarding APIs. Two levels of seller registrations are possible.

  1. Lead level seller registration – Need to pass only basic seller details. This will create a lead level registration with Snapdeal. Snapdeal on-boarding team will follow up with Seller to complete seller registration process. Partners can use this API to initiate seller registration on Snapdeal, when they do not have all the KYC details to perform complete seller registration (Register as a Seller).

  2. Complete seller registration – Need to pass all the required KYC details to complete registration process of a seller on Snapdeal. It also requires lead level registration of the seller as a prerequisite. Snapdeal on-boarding team will do the required verification and trigger an email to seller once registration is approved.
