How to Register on ok.parts: Step-by-Step Guide with Screenshots

▶ Video guide (1:05) · Watch on YouTube

Registration on ok.parts is free and takes one form: three short blocks about your business, your contact person and your sign-in details, then a confirmation link sent to your email. There is no separate sign-up for buyers and suppliers. One account does both: you can list the parts you sell and open the contacts of the suppliers you need.

This guide walks through the form field by field. The numbers in the text match the red numbered marks on the screenshots. The screenshots were taken in October 2026 with sample data; a field label may change over time, the order of the steps stays the same.

1. What You Need Before You Start

Have these details at hand and the form takes two or three minutes:

  • The registered name and address of your company. A private individual can skip both.
  • A phone number with its country code, for example +971 50 000 0000.
  • An email address you can open right now. The confirmation link goes there, and the same email becomes your sign-in name.
  • A password of at least 8 characters.

The form is available in English, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Switch the language with the selector in the top right corner of the page before you start typing.

One account, both roles. You do not choose between a buyer and a supplier account. Every account can post offers and reveal supplier contacts. Registration is free, there are no listing fees and no subscription.

2. Open the Registration Form

Click Create account in the header of any page of the site, or open the registration page directly. The Sign in button next to it is for people who already have an account.

The page has two halves. The left half sums up the terms of the marketplace in short. The form itself is on the right.

3. Describe Your Business

The first block is about who you are.

  1. Language selector. Changes the language of the form.
  2. What best describes you? Pick one of seven types: Factory / Manufacturer, Regional brand distributor, Wholesale company, Auto parts store, Auto service, Auto dismantler or Private individual. The type only labels your listings. It does not limit what the account can do.
  3. Legal company name. The name as it is registered, the way it appears on your invoices.
  4. Country. Choose from the list.
  5. Province / State. Type the region, for example Zhejiang or Dubai.
  6. Full company address. Street, building, city and postal code in one line.

Fields marked with a red dot are required. If you choose Private individual, the company name and the company address stop being required.

4. Add a Contact Person

The second block is the person ok.parts and your trading partners will deal with.

The Contact block of the ok.parts registration form: first name, last name and phone

The Contact block

  1. First name.
  2. Last name.
  3. Phone. Start with the plus sign and the country code, as in +86 555 123 4567. A number without the country code cannot be dialed from abroad.

Use the details of a real person who answers this phone. On a marketplace where buyers pay to open a contact, a number that nobody picks up costs you deals.

5. Set Your Email and Password and Accept the Terms

The last block creates your sign-in details.

  1. Email. A working address: the confirmation link is sent to it.
  2. Password. At least 8 characters. The Show switch on the right displays what you typed.
  3. Confirm password. Type the same password once more.
  4. Agreement. Tick the box to accept the User Agreement and the Privacy Policy. Both open from the links in that line. With the same tick you confirm that you are registering on behalf of a business.
  5. Create free account. The button becomes active only when every required field is filled, the email looks valid, the password has at least 8 characters, both passwords match and the box is ticked.

If something is wrong, the field gets a red border and a short message under it:

6. Confirm Your Email

After you press Create free account, the form is replaced by a Check your email screen that shows the address the link was sent to.

The screen that appears after the form is sent

  1. Open your mailbox and find the message from ok.parts. It can take one or two minutes to arrive.
  2. If it is not in the inbox, look in the spam or junk folder.
  3. Click the link in the message. This activates the account.
Check the address on this screen. If you see a typo in the email shown there, the link went to the wrong mailbox. Register again with the correct address.

7. Sign In

When the account is activated, press Go to sign in on the same screen or open the sign-in page.

8. What to Do After You Sign In

The account is ready to work in both directions.

Find suppliers. Type an OEM or part number into the search bar at the top of any page. You get the offers for that exact number: price, minimum order quantity, stock and lead time, and next to them the rank of the supplier from E to A, the rating and the location.

Open a contact. The Open contacts button on an offer card opens the phone, email and other details of the supplier. Depending on the rank of the supplier and the current ok.parts terms, opening contacts can be free. When it is paid, the button shows the price before you click, as in the screenshot.

Post a request. If the search shows no suitable offer, post a buying request and let suppliers come to you with quotes.

List your own parts. Offers can be added one at a time or by file upload. The account type you chose at registration is shown on your listings.
