Consult Advisou if you do not want to deal with legal hassles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Account Creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your business is incorporated, head to the <strong>sellercentral.amazon.in<\/strong><sup><a href=\"http:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.in\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>.&nbsp; to create a new account using your email. The account creation will also include entering the business structure, e.g., LLC or partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter your GSTIN and wait till the portal verifies your details. Complete the OTP verification to proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Enter Bank Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter your bank account number, IFSC code, and deposit an initial amount into the account for validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Logistics &amp; Seller Profile Setup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the store name, i.e., register brand name, and pick up address for order fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6: Video KYC Verification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent fraud, Amazon India frequently requires a digital KYC step. You will be prompted to join a brief, live video call with an Amazon executive via your phone or webcam to hold up your original PAN card, GST registration certificate (Form REG-06), and identity proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_to_Starting_a_Profitable_Amazon-backed_Online_Business\"><\/span>Key to Starting a Profitable Amazon-backed Online Business&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of any online business starts with checking the right boxes.

This is particularly important if you have a commercial space for order management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not overlook <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/advisou.com\/services\/trademark-registration\">trademark registration<\/a><\/strong> if you are eyeing long-term growth and a better reach. It will also protect your brand from infringers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure what you want to sell; whether you want to create your own brand or sell third-party products, get started with white-label products.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid diving into a product niche where the rate of return is frustratingly higher.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measure performance and track expenses from day one. Use online tools for error-free accounting and tax filing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The road to Amazon Seller Registration begins with keeping legalities in check.
