GST registration is mandatory for Indian ecommerce sellers regardless of revenue, and your GSTIN needs to show up on your store's invoices and often its footer - this is the clearest walkthrough of what's required and why.

  • GST registration is mandatory for ecommerce operators in India, with no revenue threshold exemption.
  • You'll need PAN, Aadhaar, business address proof and (for companies) incorporation certificate.
  • Your 15-digit GSTIN must appear on all transactions and invoices.
