Having just arrived in Spain, it feels like there’s a lot to get used to, especially online shopping. I’d heard that Amazon in Spain is very convenient, much like other major online marketplaces, so I wanted to buy some daily necessities. But I got stuck on the very first step: logging in… I’m sure I’m not the only one who has faced this, right? After looking into it, I’ve put together a detailed guide to share with friends who might need it.
1. Don’t have an Amazon Spain account yet? Register first!
If you’ve never registered for an Amazon account in any country before, or you want to use a new email for the Spanish site, your first step is to create a new account. The process is simple:
- Go to the official Amazon Spain website: https://www.amazon.es
- Hover your mouse over ‘Hola, Identifícate. Cuenta y listas’ in the top-right corner. In the drop-down menu, click on ‘¿Eres un cliente nuevo? Empieza aquí’ located below the yellow ‘Identifícate’ button.
Next, you’ll fill in your registration details. It’s very straightforward—all you need is your name, email address, and a password, which you’ll enter again to confirm. It’s a good idea to use an email you check regularly, as it will be convenient for receiving order information and shipping notifications. After filling everything out, click ‘Verificar correo electrónico’. Amazon will send a verification code to your email. Enter that code, and your account will be successfully created!
2. Already have an account? Here’s how to log in.
Logging in is even more direct. Back on the homepage, go to ‘Hola, Identifícate’ in the top-right corner again, but this time, click the yellow ‘Identifícate’ button directly. Then, enter the email address or mobile number you used to register, click ‘Continuar’, and enter your password. Sometimes, for security, Amazon may ask for two-factor authentication, such as a code sent via SMS or email. Just follow the prompts.
Common Login Problems and Solutions
Sometimes you might run into minor issues. Don’t worry, most problems can be easily solved:
| Common Problem | Solution |
|---|
| Forgot password | On the password entry page, click ‘¿Has olvidado la contraseña?’ below and follow the prompts to reset your password via email or phone. |
| Account locked | This might happen if you enter the wrong password too many times or log in from an unusual location, triggering a security measure. Usually, waiting a while or contacting customer service will resolve it. |
| Can’t receive verification code | Check your email’s spam folder or ensure your phone has a stable signal. |
| Page is not in Spanish | You can change the language near the flag icon in the top-right corner of the website. Options usually include Spanish, Portuguese, or English. |
The registration and login process for Amazon Spain is quite user-friendly. At first, you might find Amazon Spain a bit unfamiliar due to the language, but you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries. I hope this simple guide helps everyone out. Happy shopping in Spain!
