Introduction
Getting approved on Myntra is the dream of every fashion and lifestyle brand in India. With 50 million+ monthly active users, Myntra offers unparalleled access to India's fashion-conscious consumers. But the approval process is strict — and most brands fail on their first attempt.
This guide breaks down the exact steps to get approved on Myntra based on insights from 4200+ successful Myntra onboarding cases.
Quick Answer
To get approved on Myntra, you need: valid GST + PAN + trademark, professional white-background product images (1000px+), model shots for apparel, consistent cross-platform pricing, and correct category selection. With expert help from a Myntra approval agency, approval takes 7-10 days.
Step 1: Prepare Documentation
The foundation of Myntra approval is complete, matching documentation:
- GST Registration Certificate — Active GSTIN with entity name matching all other documents
- Business PAN Card — Must match GST entity name exactly
- Trademark Certificate — Registered (®) or TM-pending receipt
- Brand Authorization Letter — Required for distributors, on brand letterhead
- Cancelled Cheque — From business current account (not savings)
Step 2: Build Professional Catalog
Myntra's image standards are among the strictest in Indian e-commerce:
- White background product shots — minimum 1000x1000px
- Model shots for apparel (strongly preferred over flat-lay)
- 3-5 images per SKU minimum
- Consistent styling across all products
Step 3: Category Selection
Wrong category selection is a hidden rejection trigger. Choose your niche carefully — oversaturated categories like basic men's t-shirts have high rejection rates. Work with a Myntra approval agency for strategic category mapping.
Step 4: Submit Application
Submit through the Myntra Partner Portal with complete documentation package. Professional submissions have 98% approval rate vs under 10% for DIY applications.
Step 5: Post-Approval Launch
After approval, focus on competitive pricing, Myntra sale event participation, and listing optimization for initial visibility. The first 30 days are critical for algorithm ranking.
