In this article, we’ll take a close look at how to properly register Alibaba account as a buyer or seller, and how to correctly fill in the address, phone number, and other personal information.
Alibaba Seller Account: Sign Up Process
If you’ve decided to use the services of the world’s largest marketplace for buying or selling goods, you’ll first need to register. During the process, you’ll be asked to provide a phone number, email address, physical address, and country of residence.
Registration on Alibaba allows you to check the cost of goods in your local currency, view delivery options and rates for your region, and create a seller’s profile.
If you already have a profile on AliExpress, there’s no need to register separately on Alibaba — all personal information will be transferred automatically, except for the phone number and shipping address. If you don’t have an account on either platform, follow the Alibaba registration steps below.
How To Register Alibaba Account?
To start, go to the Alibaba website and click “Sign up for free” in the upper right corner.
You’ll see a registration form where you’ll need to fill in the following fields:
- Country/Region – Select your country from the dropdown list.
- Trade Role – Choose whether you are registering as a buyer, seller, or supplier.
- Password / Confirm Password – Create and confirm your password.
- Company Name – This field is optional and can be left blank.
- Full Name – Enter your first and last name in Latin characters.
- Tel – Provide your phone number.
Once all required fields are completed, agree to the terms by moving the verification slider to the right and clicking “Agree and register.”
You can add your delivery address later in your personal profile. Remember, it must be written in Latin letters.
Why Use a Virtual Phone Number for Alibiba Sign Up?
If you need to create multiple accounts on Alibaba, or prefer not to use your personal phone number, using a virtual number is the ideal solution.
This is particularly useful for sellers. Creating several seller profiles allows you to list the same product on different pages, significantly increasing its visibility and your chances of making a sale.
