If you are looking for a convenient online shopping application with a customer-friendly environment, Daraz may be a great choice.
In this blog post, we will accompany you on the journey through the Daraz online shopping app‘s best features and opportunities for customers. Moreover, you will get an explanation on how to register in the app without revealing your phone number. Let’s dive in!
What is Daraz?
Daraz is one of the leading online shopping apps in the countries of South-East Asia, being launched in Pakistan in 2018. Since then, it also expanded to the Bangladesh, Sri-Lanka, and Nepal markets.
One of the differentiating factors is that Daraz authorizes stores and checks their brand production on authenticity. If a store has an ‘Official store’ badge, this guarantees that items sold in there are authentic and duly registered. With the ‘Wishlist’ feature, customers can also add their favorite stores and items that they like but are not ready to buy at the moment.
Moreover, the app offers many themed collections like sneakers or sunglasses where you can find items from various brands, compare prices and characteristics and choose the best option for you.
The more the customer uses the app, the bigger the number of collections grows. Each customer can have multiple collections, based on their preferences and interests.
In the ‘Just For You’ section, on the contrary, you will find products that were selected by the app’s algorithms after analyzing your preferences.
Another prominent feature is that the Daraz online shopping app offers flash sales on a daily basis with notifying you when big discounts start. What is more, sometimes brands also offer beneficial discount vouchers that they can use right away or when shopping the next time.
Being PCI-compliant, the app also provides 100% secure checkout. You can pay via both debit and credit card, bank transfer and the in-app wallet.
And finally, the Daraz online shopping allows customers to scan QR-codes for campaigns, products, and vouchers.
Daraz Registration
For both the customer’s and the seller’s account, when opening the app, first, you need to submit your phone number and request a code. As you click on the button, a code will be sent to your mobile number which will help you to sign up or register a Daraz account on the app.
After putting in the OTP, the app will ask you to fill out a registration form which contains your name, email address, and password.
After that, if you have just registered as a customer, just start fishing for the items. If you are a trader, you will also need to submit your company/store name, names of your selling items, and more. Moreover, make sure that you have uploaded a copy of the certificate proving that your business is officially registered. Then, add your items and start selling in the Daraz online shopping!
For whichever account it is, you will need to submit your phone number which is not always relevant or even safe. For better safety, though, you can always consider utilizing a temporary virtual phone number instead.
Virtual Phone for the Daraz Account
Disposable virtual phone numbers are an innovative opportunity to get an OTP with no need to reveal your real phone number to the app you register to.
Buying such a phone number is very helpful since it allows not to submit any proof of identity nor leave home. If you do not use your real phone number for registration on services such as the Daraz registration, it means that you leave no chances for it to be leaked and sold to web intruders. Moreover, with it, you can access any service that requires phone number verification with only local numbers or is restricted in your location.
On the other hand, temporary virtual phone numbers are great for creating a bulk of accounts at once, since you can buy them for the starting price at $0.14 per number.
So, what is Daraz’s account registration about with a temporary virtual number? See how it looks like:
- Create an account on sms-man.com via an email address or social media.
- Replenish your balance with the required sum by clicking the blue ‘Top Up’ button in the top right.
- Choose the service (Daraz) and the needed national code (Pakistani). Click ‘Buy’.
- Scroll down the page and copy the number from ‘History’.
- Use it to register Daraz.
- Return to SMS-man and click ‘Get SMS’ to ask for an OTP.
