Swiggy Instamart Vendor Portal: Brand Portal Login, Onboarding Route and What Is Not Published

Swiggy Instamart's vendor portal for brands is the Instamart Brand Portal at partner.instamart.in. The page loads with the title "Instamart Brand Portal" and is served from Swiggy-owned systems. It is not the same as partner.swiggy.com, which opens the Swiggy Partner app for the food side. We could load the portal but not its sign-in screens, so we cannot confirm how login works. Swiggy has not published timelines or fees for brand onboarding on public pages we could open. Checked November 2026.

Which Instamart portal is the vendor or brand portal?

Instamart's brand-facing portal is called the Instamart Brand Portal, at https://partner.instamart.in/. Sellers often search for "vendor portal", "brand portal" and "seller portal" for the same thing. In what we could verify, there are three different addresses:

If you land on a food or restaurant sign-up, you are on the wrong portal. Our own onboarding article makes the same distinction; read the Swiggy Instamart onboarding guide for the process as brands report it.

How does login to the Instamart Brand Portal work?

The honest answer is that it is not confirmed. The portal is a single-page application that shows only a loading shell to an automated check, and we could not see its sign-in form without an account. The page does connect to Swiggy brand-portal and identity services, which tells us that sign-in is handled by Swiggy's own identity system and not by an outside vendor.

Third-party guides describe a registration step, a document check, a category manager review and a catalogue listing stage. We cannot attach a Swiggy source to those steps. If you have been approved, the sign-in details will come from the Instamart category team that handled your application. If you have not been approved, no login will exist yet.

What did we check on the portal itself?

We opened partner.instamart.in and its /login path; both returned a normal page, and both show only the same loading shell without JavaScript. That tells you the address is live and that a deep link such as /login is a valid route. It does not tell you how an account is created. We did not try to sign in or register, since that would mean submitting a real business's details.

You can run the same check yourself. In your browser, the padlock should show a swiggy.com or instamart.in certificate, and the page title should read "Instamart Brand Portal". If you reached the page from a message, close it and type the address.

How do I apply as a new brand?

The route Swiggy publicly signals is the brand portal itself and Swiggy's Instamart partner page at swiggy.com/instamart-partner, which sellers report offering both an "Onboard your brand" and a "Become a seller" option. We could not render that page, so we are relying on the report. Open the page yourself and choose the brand route if you own or distribute the brand.

Guides add that Instamart manages onboarding through category managers and that not every application leads to onboarding. That is reported, not published by Swiggy. Make your application strong before you send it:

1. Keep your legal entity details consistent across GST, PAN and bank records.
2. Have the brand's trademark certificate or authorisation ready.
3. Prepare a product sheet with MRP, pack sizes, barcodes and images for each product.
4. For food, have your FSSAI licence ready. Instamart's requirements for a given category are given by the category team.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice.

What is not confirmed about Instamart brand onboarding?

Because there is no public fee schedule, a number you read in a blog or an agency pitch should be treated as a quote from that agency. For a breakdown of what sellers report, see Swiggy Instamart seller fees explained, and compare channels in Blinkit vs Zepto vs Instamart for brands.

Vendor, brand or distributor: which one are you?

Instamart's brand portal is aimed at brands. If you are a distributor or wholesaler selling other companies' products, expect to be asked for a brand authorisation letter or a distributor certificate, and expect the brand's own relationship with Instamart to matter. If you are a small retailer wanting to supply a few items, the brand portal may not be the right door, and Swiggy has not said which door is. Ask before you invest time in a catalogue. The same question is worth asking of Blinkit and Zepto, which have their own portals.

Why can't I log in or register?

How should I prepare for the first purchase order?

After approval, brands usually deal with catalogue approval, the legal arrangement for stock movement, and Instamart's warehouse inwarding. We cannot give a Swiggy-confirmed sequence. Plan a buffer of several weeks, keep your GST filings current, and confirm in writing who pays for samples, damaged goods and expiry returns. If you need to add a warehouse state to your GST registration, read the APOB glossary entry and ask your CA.

FAQ

What is the Instamart vendor portal? It is the Instamart Brand Portal at partner.instamart.in, the Swiggy-hosted site for brands and vendors that sell through Instamart. It is not the Swiggy Partner app used by restaurants.

Is there an Instamart brand portal login for new sellers? A login exists for approved brands. We could not see the sign-in form and have no Swiggy statement on how new accounts are created, so do not rely on blog descriptions. Ask Instamart's team when they contact you.

Is partner.swiggy.com the same as the Instamart portal? No. partner.swiggy.com opens the Swiggy Partner app and redirects to a food section. Brands selling through Instamart should use partner.instamart.in, the Instamart Brand Portal.

How much does it cost to list on Instamart? Swiggy has not published a listing fee on pages we could open. Agencies quote per-SKU packages and different figures, so none is verified. Ask for every charge in writing, including GST and any ad-spend commitment.

How long does Instamart onboarding take? No official timeline. Agency estimates range from several weeks to a few months, so treat any single number as a guess and ask your category manager for dates.

Can a small D2C brand join Instamart? Instamart has not published eligibility rules. Guides say brands with strong sales elsewhere and clean documents have a better chance. Prepare your catalogue and apply; the decision is Swiggy's.

Who should I contact if the portal is not working? Contact the Instamart team that handled your application, from the email on file. If you have no contact yet, use the options on swiggy.com/instamart-partner and avoid unofficial numbers.
