To sell candle holders online in India, start with Meesho and Amazon.in, since both have a dedicated listing template for them. You will need the holder type, material, three dimensions, weight and clean photos. One thing catches most sellers out: holders look best with a candle in them, but a candle you are not selling can cause problems in the main image.
How do you choose type and material on Meesho?
Meesho's template asks you to pick from fixed lists, so match your product to the closest value. Type and Material are both compulsory.
| Field | Allowed values |
|---|---|
| Type | Candlestick Holders, Ganesh Candle Holder, Tealight Candle Holders, Votive Candle Holders |
| Material | Glass, Metal, Plastic, Wood, Wooden, Marble, Italian Marble, Marble Dust, Soapstone, Kayampura, Udaipuri Pink Stone, Marble and Semi Precious Stones |
| Net Quantity (N) | 1 to 10, or 12: use the number of units in a set |
| Product Unit | Ft, Inch, M, cm, mm |
A set of four tealight holders is one listing with a Net Quantity of 4. The template defines Net Quantity as the total number of units in the product, so a multi-pack states the full count.
How do I measure a round candle holder?
Product Breadth, Height and Length are all compulsory, and the template says how to handle round shapes. Length is the diameter of a circular product, and Height is its depth. Breadth is the width. Measure at the widest point, and use the same unit for all three.
Also fill in Net Weight (gms), which leaves out the packaging. Weight and Weight Unit are compulsory fields too, so keep a kitchen scale close by.
Can the main image show a lit candle?
Be careful here, because the rules are strict on both marketplaces. Amazon's template says a main image must not contain accessories that are not being dispatched with the product. So if the holder ships without a candle, leave the candle out. It also asks for a pure white background. Meesho asks for a solo product image without props.
You can still show the mood. Amazon says additional images can show the product in use, as long as props do not confuse the customer. Use those slots for the holder in a room with a candle burning, and make it clear in your text that the candle is not included.
How does Amazon.in differ?
Amazon's template handles holders as the CANDLE_HOLDER product type in the same file as candles. It limits Item Name to 75 characters, so write what the product is and leave the rest for Item Highlights. It also recommends a first upload of 15 or fewer products as a test.
