How to Sign up for AliExpress as a Customer or a Seller: a Step-by-Step Guide

To make orders, get discounts and coupons or sell on AliExpress, you need to create an AliExpress account with your actual data. Of course, you can make purchases as a guest, but it deprives you of certain advantages and useful tools and bonuses offered by AliExpress. Let’s study all the ways to register on AliExpress for the seller and the customer.

How to Sign Up for AliExpress as a Customer

How to Register on the AliExpress Official Website

AliExpress is translated into multiple languages, so you can see the categories descriptions, the system messages, and forms in your native language. Besides, the prices can be displayed in your local currency. It allows you not to convert the prices every time you are going to purchase.

All localized versions are operating in exactly the same way as the original version does. The only disadvantage is that advertising can still be shown in a foreign language.

Creating an account is free of charge so the registration is a way to go for those who want to become a regular customer on AliExpress.

The easiest way to sign up is to log in via the existing account on social networks. AliExpress cooperates with Facebook, Google, and other companies.

Please note: if you didn’t specify your real name and surname on the social networks, you will need to do it on the AliExpress website to be able to receive the parcels sent to you.

If you decided to sign up via social networks, we suggest going to the “My profile” section right away and specify your contact information there. In the “Shipping address” section you can specify your name and surname and also, the shipping details.

You can follow another way and sign up with your email. Fill in your email address and the password you want to use and press “CREATE ACCOUNT”. Then check your inbox and click the activation link to complete the registration.

All you have to do after the registration is to add your payment details. You’re done – you can start making purchases!

How to Sign Up for AliExpress via the Mobile App

The registration process via the mobile app is exactly the same as on the website – use your social network account, phone number or email address.

What’s most convenient about the mobile app is that it is always at hand. It means you will always get the notifications about your orders on time. Was the parcel shipped out or does the Buyer Protection expire? You will always stay tuned for the updates. It’s especially important when you make several purchases from different sellers.

Important! AliExpress offers special bonuses for their mobile app’s users, so we recommend to install and use the app even if you prefer to purchase from a desktop browser.

How to Sign Up for AliExpress as a Seller

It’s not that complicated to start selling on AliExpress. Some limitations apply through. The Chinese platform mainly works with those legal entities that have Chinese anchors, for example:

• a sim-card registered in China;
• a warehouse in China with a real address;
• an account in one of the Chinese banks;
• a confirmation that you are a real person staying on the territory of China.

Not long ago they accepted the applications from the Chinese sellers only, but this is not the case anymore. You can register as a seller on Aliexpress if you are an individual entrepreneur or a legal company in one of the following countries:

1. China
2. Russia
3. Spain
4. Italy
5. Turkey
6. France

It’s quite easy to create a seller account on AliExpress, but be ready to have all your legal info as well as the Business License Copy at hand. Go to the website for AliExpress sellers’ registration and fill in the 3-step form.

Step 1: Create an Account

Choose your shop tax country first. Please note that you won’t be able to change the shop tax country after the registration is approved!

Then enter your email, password, move the verification slider to the right to make it green, and check the Membership Agreement window. Then press “Continue”.

Go to your email inbox and copy the verification code sent to you by Alibaba Group. Then enter it in the window that opens on pressing the “Continue” button on AliExpress.

If you encounter any difficulties in the process, you will have to communicate with the support in Chinese. Be ready to pay for the interpreter if you don’t speak Chinese yourself.

Step 2: Business Information

Here you will have to enter all your company details and attach a copy of your Business License.

When the company’s details are added, you will be asked to fill in a similar form for a legal representative of your company.

Step 3: Application Review

When all information is added, you will have to check the Terms and Conditions box and submit your application for review. The notification on the decision taken will be sent to you by email.

When the application is approved, you can proceed to launching your store on this world-popular shopping platform,

How to Sign up for AliExpress Again if your Account Was Blocked

AliExpress personal account can be blocked for different reasons: frequent change of name or payment details, for example, regular disputes with sellers, etc. Sometimes it’s possible to reactivate the account by contacting the support service and proving the evidence that your account was blocked groundlessly. But if your account was blacklisted, it is no use contacting the support. The only way out is to create a new profile.

Follow a few simple rules to do it:

• don’t use the email address or the phone number you previously used with your blocked account;
• use another browser or VPN;
• add a new bank card if you have it.

Of course, you will have to gain all privileges from scratch in the new account. But there is an advantage – as a newbie, you will get a special “AliExpress Select coupon” along with an impeccable reputation.

Tip: don’t forget that you can save on AliExpress with cashback. Make orders, increase your customer level and the cash back rate along with it and check the sellers’ reputation on AliExpress. Megabonus extension will help you to do it. There are also mobile apps for smartphone users:

• Download Megabonus iOS app.
• Download Megabonus Android app.
