    Updated 25 June 2025 | Khrystyna Oliinyk

    Flipkart is one of the leading eCommerce marketplaces in India, holding an impressive 48% market share as of FY23. For eCommerce software providers whose functionality relies on managing product data — such as PIM systems, multichannel tools, or repricing solutions — integration with the Flipkart Product Listing API is essential. It enables seamless access to product listings, updates, and synchronization.

    This article focuses on the details of the Flipkart Product Listing API and how your solution can easily integrate with Flipkart.

    What is Flipkart Product Listing API?

    Flipkart Product Listing API is a powerful tool by Flipkart that allows to work with and manage product listings easily. This API allows to easily create new products, update existing ones, or remove out-of-stock products.

    Another advantage of the Flipkart Product Listing API is that it supports real-time changes in inventory and pricing. Furthermore, the API also enables bulk products updating, which is more useful for those having a large number of products. This feature not only increases efficiency but also reduces the chances of making mistakes that could happen when entering the data manually.

    Also, the Flipkart Product Listing API allows to manage categories and attributes of the products like size, color, and brand. Correct classification and elaborated product features increase the product's discoverability on the Flipkart, thus increasing the probability of a sale.

    Advantages of Using Flipkart Product Listing API for eCommerce Software Vendors

    Below are the advantages of developing the integration with the Flipkart Product Listing API for the eCommerce software solutions.

    • Enhanced Product Management Capabilities

    • Real-Time Data Synchronization

    The Flipkart Product Listing API will help your software to have the functionality of auto-updating the inventory and pricing. This enables the Flipkart users to get the latest information on the products which in turn minimizes the stock out situations. Real-time updates improve the overall experience of the customers and help in gaining trust as the buyers rely on the stock and the price of the products.

    • Scalability and Bulk Operations

    The API enables the user to update multiple products at once on the user's account, including bulk operations products. This feature is quite useful for vendors who sell a large number of products as it reduces the time and effort that is required to make changes. Therefore, the availability of bulk operations will help eCommerce software vendors address the needs of online store owners who sell large quantities of products. This will enhance the usability of their software products.

    • Competitive Advantage

    How to Develop Flipkart Product Listing API Connection

    The SaaS app providers struggle a lot and encounter a number of challenges and barriers when it comes to integrating with Flipkart.

    The integration process is quite complex and may take a lot of time, so it is usually better to involve a specialized developer. For a new developer, this process will take approximately two months or even more to finish. The first issue software providers may encounter is the lack of clear and detailed documentation. This is especially true in the case of Flipkart's API, which rarely provides examples. Also, Flipkart's support service is not very swift, which may lead to a delay of over a day in attending to customers' complaints.

    API2Cart helps to overcome the integration difficulties by providing a unified API that allows software solutions to integrate with shopping platforms and marketplaces, including Flipkart, at once. Thus, the integration with Flipkart via API2Cart allows software providers to access needed store data. This enables them to offer features that help online sellers handle product catalogs from different channels.

At the end of the trial period, the various flexible pricing packages can be chosen depending on the needs of the eCommerce software providers. You can be assured of getting a package that will meet your needs.
