New to Airsoko? Welcome. This guide walks you through creating an account, setting up your details and placing your first order, step by step.

Step 1: Create your account

  1. Go to www.airsoko.com and select Sign in / Join at the top of the page.
  2. Choose to create an account. Our sign-up page asks for your first name, last name, email address, phone number and a password.
  3. Alternatively, choose SignUp with Google to use your Google account.
  4. Complete sign-up and sign in.

Signing in gives you personalised recommendations, order tracking and faster checkout.

Choose a strong password

Use a password you do not use anywhere else. You can change it later from your account. Our Help Centre has a Change Password quick link.

Step 2: Set up your addresses and profile

Before your first purchase, add the address where you want orders delivered:

  1. Open My account.
  2. Go to your Shipping Address settings and add your delivery address. This is where you manage and add shipping and billing addresses.
  3. Check your profile details under Edit Profile, including your phone number, so couriers can reach you.

Tips for new shoppers

  • Turn on deals in your inbox by subscribing to our newsletter at the bottom of the homepage.
  • Follow stores you like from their store pages.
  • Consider Airsoko Prime if you plan to shop often; it offers free delivery on eligible orders.

Keep your account secure

  • Use a unique password and change it if you think it has been exposed.
  • Never share one-time codes or PINs with anyone, including people claiming to be support.
  • Sign out on shared devices, such as cyber café computers.
  • Check Account Notices in your account for warnings or important messages. You will find it as a quick link in our Help Centre.
  • Keep your email address current so order confirmations reach you. You can change it under the Change Email Address option.

New user benefits

Our Help Centre includes a New User Benefits topic under Account and Programs, and some stores offer first-purchase codes on the Coupons page. Check both before your first checkout.

Ready for your first order

Creating an Airsoko account takes a couple of minutes, and once your address is saved, every future order is faster. Search, check the product page, choose delivery, pay securely and track your order from your account.
