Snapdeal.com introduces unique Scan and Sell feature for sellers

Snapdeal.com has launched a unique seller-aid feature ‘Scan and Sell’ for its seller mobile app. The Scan and Sell feature will enable the sellers to list their products for sale on the platform in less than 5 minutes with just a scan of the products barcode and keying in the pricing details.

Scan and Sell is the first such initiative by any Indian e-commerce platform to simplify and automate the process of listing products for sale.

We believe that mobile is a key contributor to the growth of ecommerce and we have been continuously working on enhancing the seller and buyer experience on the mobile. The addition of this hassle-free mobile products listing feature for a best-in-class seller experience is keeping in line with our philosophy of creating life changing experiences for our sellers.”
