Manual workflow

  1. Open each product image in Photoshop/Canva.
  2. Crop, resize, recolor background, add border.
  3. Save as a new file.
  4. Log into supplier.meesho.com, open each product, upload the image, wait, repeat.
  5. Manually check shipping options in Meesho and pick one.
  6. Hope you picked the cheapest; no way to verify.

This is the path most sellers know. It works — but it does not scale beyond a few dozen SKUs.

Extension workflow

  1. Open supplier.meesho.com.
  2. Click Create with AI on the Extension panel and pick a preset.
  3. Click Bulk Upload.
  4. Open the Shipping tab — apply the cheapest rate or a community rate in one click.
  5. Done.

When the manual workflow still wins

Honest answer: if you only upload a handful of SKUs per month, your own workflow is fine. The Extension pays off when you routinely manage 30+ SKUs, or when you want to be sure you are not overpaying on shipping.

Security-wise, how does the Extension compare?

Safer than "automation" tools that ask for your Meesho password. The Extension runs inside your own Chrome browser and uses your own Meesho session; no credentials ever leave your machine. See Privacy Policy and Terms for details.
