When a brand completes vendor.haloweave.store/register, the application appears in the admin under Vendor applications (under Extensions).
The list opens on Submitted applications. Use the status dropdown to see Under review, Changes requested, Approved, Rejected, Draft (started but not sent) or All. Search by reference, brand or legal name. Each application has a reference like VAP-2026-H3XRVME5 which the applicant also has.
What to check
Click an application to open it.
| Section | Check |
|---|---|
| Business | Legal name matches the GSTIN. Entity type. Website exists and sells what they claim. Categories are ones Chisel stocks. Registered and pickup addresses complete, six-digit pincode. |
| Authorised signatory | A real person with a working email and phone. This is who signed the agreement. |
| Agreement | Status accepted, with version, time, typed signature, IP address. Without this the Approve button stays disabled. |
| History | Every step and previous revisions, so you can see what changed after a "changes requested". |
Verify the GSTIN on the GST portal (services.gst.gov.in, Search Taxpayer) before approving. Supporting documents (GST certificate, cancelled cheque, licences such as FSSAI) are collected after review by email for now; document upload is on the roadmap.
The three actions
- Request changes: opens a box for a message (at least ten characters). Be specific: "Please give the FSSAI licence number and correct the pincode of the pickup address." The applicant sees your message on their status link and can revise and resubmit; the version number goes up.
- Reject: requires a reason. Use it for brands outside Chisel's categories or with a GSTIN that does not check out.
- Approve: creates the brand record and marks the application approved. Then open the brand under Brands, create its portal login and send the details (Brands).
After approval
- Portal login created from the brand's page under Brands, and sent.
- Brand adds products (or sends a sheet to Chisel).
- Chisel reviews and publishes products, sets prices.
- Test order placed and shipped by the brand.
- Products promoted on the site.
This matches the five-step story we tell brands at haloweave.store/vendor-onboarding.
