By Tricitynews

Chandigarh 04th July:- Snapdeal today launched industry's first Instant Seller Sign-up feature to offer a seamless on-boarding process for sellers on its platform.

In addition to their GSTIN, sellers need to only provide basic information like contact details, email and bank account details in which they will receive payments.

Snapdeal Spokesperson said that seller experience is a key parameter that we track. With this automation, the time taken for seller sign-up will reduce from 28 hours to less than a minute. New sellers can now start their sales on Snapdeal within 10 minutes of sign up.

Sellers can instantly sign up and start selling without needing to make any investment in technology, logistics or payments.
