Must-Read for Beginners: Complete Guide to Registering on Shopee

Registration Process:

Download the Shopee App or Visit the Official Website

Whether you're using your phone or computer, you can easily access Shopee in these ways:

1.Mobile users can go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to search for and install the Shopee app.
2.Desktop users can simply visit Shopee's official website: https://shopee.com.

Click the "Register" Button to Start Creating Your Account

After opening the Shopee app or website, find the "Register" button at the top-right corner and click on it to begin the registration process.

Fill in Your Basic Information

On the registration page, you’ll need to provide some basic details, including:

  1. Your name (we recommend using your real name for easier order management).
  2. Your email address (if you wish to register via email).
  3. Create a password (choose a strong one to protect your account from being hacked).

Choose "Register with Email"

This step is very important!

  1. Select "Email Registration" from the options.
  2. Enter your email address (we recommend using a stable, reliable email to ensure you receive all important notifications from Shopee like promotions, order updates, and security alerts). Pro Tip: I used to register with Gmail and occasionally didn’t receive Shopee’s verification email. I switched to GetMX Domain-Email, and now I’ve never missed an email. Their free version works great for everyday needs and even allows managing multiple accounts, perfect for deal hunters or users with many accounts! It’s simple, no ads, and super convenient. (This is not an ad—just a sincere recommendation!)

Set Your Password and Verify Your Email

  1. Set a strong password: It’s best to use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to enhance account security.
  2. After submitting, Shopee will send a verification email to your GetMX Domain-Email.
  3. Open your email, find Shopee’s message, and click the verification link to complete the email verification.
