So, you’ve decided to start shopping on Lazada — great choice! Whether you’re hunting for gadgets, fashion, or home essentials, Lazada’s got plenty to offer. But before you dive into the deals, you’ll need to create an account. Don’t worry, though; the registration process is pretty straightforward. Let me walk you through what you’ll need, based on my own experience (and a few things I wish I’d known earlier).
1. A Valid Email Address
This one’s non-negotiable. Lazada requires an email to verify your account and send order updates. If you’re like me and prefer to keep your main inbox clutter-free, here’s a tip: use a dedicated email for shopping platforms. For example, something like lazada@yourdomain.com works perfectly.
If you plan to manage multiple Lazada accounts (e.g., for business or regional access), tools like GetMX Domain Email can be super handy. It lets you create unlimited email aliases under your own domain — like account1@yourdomain.com, account2@yourdomain.com, etc. — while keeping all messages organized in one place. Bonus: GetMX’s reliable delivery ensures you won’t miss critical verification emails.
2. A Mobile Phone Number
Lazada will ask for a working phone number for SMS verification. This helps prevent spam accounts and adds a layer of security. If privacy is a concern, consider using a secondary SIM or a virtual number service.
3. Basic Personal Details
You’ll need to provide:
- Full name (match it with your payment method later).
- Birthdate (optional, but useful for birthday discounts!).
- Shipping address. Keep it accurate to avoid delivery hiccups. Lazada doesn’t require super-specific details — just country, city, street, and postal code.
4. Payment Method (Optional During Sign-Up)
While you can register without adding payment info, I’d recommend linking a credit/debit card or e-wallet (like PayPal) early. It speeds up checkout later. Lazada also supports cash-on-delivery in many regions.
5. Social Media Accounts (Optional Shortcut)
Feeling lazy? You can sign up instantly using Facebook or Google. Just click the “Continue with Facebook/Google” button — no email or password needed.
Tips:
- Avoid public/shared emails: Use an email only you control. If you’re managing multiple accounts, services like GetMX (mentioned earlier) help maintain professionalism and avoid “email already registered” errors.
- Save your info securely: Use a password manager for your Lazada login.
- Double-check your region: Lazada operates in multiple countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, etc.). Make sure you’re on the correct site!
