How to Register on iHerb

You can start the registration process from the iHerb homepage.

Go to the official iHerb website →

Look for the “Sign In or Create an Account” button. Depending on your device, country, and the current version of the interface, the wording may vary slightly.

On the sign-in screen, iHerb offers several ways to create an account or access an existing one:

• email address;
• mobile phone number, if this option is available in your country;
• Google;
• Apple;
• Facebook.

If you are using iHerb for the first time, choose the option to create a new account.

First Check Your Country, Language, and Currency

Before registering, and especially before placing your first order, check your country settings.

iHerb operates internationally, so the product selection, delivery methods, prices, currency, and some promotions may vary depending on the country selected.

The site will usually detect your region automatically, but it is best to verify the settings manually.

In the country, language, and currency menu, select:

• the delivery country;
• your preferred interface language;
• the currency in which you want to view prices.

Important: Choose the country based on where the order will be delivered. The delivery country affects available shipping methods, product restrictions, and some promotions.

Registering with an Email Address or Phone Number

The most universal option is to create an account with an email address.

On the registration screen:

1. Enter your email address.

   Use an active address that you can access regularly. Order notifications and account-security messages may be sent there.

2. Or use a mobile phone number.

   In some countries, iHerb allows a phone number to be used as account information. Be sure to select the correct international country code.

3. Create a password.

   Use a separate, strong password that you do not use on other websites.

4. Confirm account creation.

   iHerb may send a confirmation message or verification code to the email address or phone number you provided.

After confirmation, the account is ready to use.

Tip: Email registration is often the most convenient option because it makes it easier to receive order confirmations, delivery updates, and account-recovery messages.

Registering Through Google, Apple, or Facebook

If you do not want to create a separate iHerb password, you can use one of the supported sign-in methods.

Signing in with Google

On the sign-in page, select “Sign in with Google”, then:

1. choose the Google account you want to use;
2. confirm the sign-in;
3. after authorization, you will return to the iHerb website or app.

Signing in with Apple

Apple users can select “Sign in with Apple”.

Confirmation is completed with your Apple ID, password, Face ID, or another Apple authentication method.

If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email” feature, your iHerb account may show a technical address ending in @privaterelay.appleid.com. This is normal: Apple creates this address to protect your primary email address.

Signing in with Facebook

iHerb also supports Facebook authentication.

iHerb recommends adding a regular email address to the account so you can receive important messages about orders, offers, and account changes.

Keep in mind: Remember which method you used to create the account. A common reason shoppers later cannot see their previous orders is that they sign in with a different email address, phone number, or social account.

How to Register in the iHerb App

Registration in the iHerb mobile app is currently very similar to registration on the website.

First, install the official iHerb app:

• from the App Store for iPhone and iPad;
• from Google Play for Android devices.

After opening the app:

1. open the account sign-in section;
2. choose account creation or one of the available sign-in methods;
3. use email, a phone number, Google, Apple, or Facebook;
4. confirm your email address or phone number if requested;
5. after signing in, check the delivery country, language, and currency.

You do not need to create a separate account for the app. The same iHerb account works on the website and in the app.

Do not create a second account just for the app. If you already have an iHerb account, sign in using the same method you used before.

Can You Order from iHerb Without Registering?

In some countries, yes.

iHerb states that shoppers in certain countries may be able to place an order using guest checkout.

If this option is available in your region, it will appear during checkout.

For regular purchases, however, a personal account is usually more convenient because it can retain:

• orders;
• addresses;
• delivery-tracking information;
• returns and order inquiries;
• wish lists;
• account settings.

So even when guest checkout is available, creating a regular account may be more practical for repeat purchases.

Why Register for iHerb?

An account does not automatically make products cheaper, so it would be inaccurate to promise special discounts simply for registering.

The main benefit is easier purchase management.

Order History

Previous orders are saved in your account. This is useful when you want to find a product you purchased before, reorder it, or review an earlier purchase.

Order Tracking

Information about current orders and their status is available in your account.

Saved Addresses

After your first order, you will not need to enter the same delivery information from scratch every time.

Wish List

You can save products that interest you and return to them later.

Reviews

An account helps you manage purchases and related features, including reviews of products you have bought.

Notification Settings

You can manage contact information and iHerb notification subscriptions from your account.

Do You Need to Enter an Address When Registering?

You do not need to enter a delivery address in advance just to create an account.

The address is required when you place an order.

This differs from some older iHerb guides, which described registration as if shoppers had to enter their first name, last name, country, and full address immediately.

It is better to treat these as two separate processes:

• creating an account;
• placing your first order.

Do You Need an Invitation Code to Register?

No. A referral code or invitation code is not required to create an iHerb account.

Promo codes and new-customer offers are applied separately, according to the terms of the promotion that is currently available.

You can find current iHerb offers in our dedicated section:

What to Do If You Cannot Sign In to Your iHerb Account

If an account already exists, do not immediately create a new one. Try to recover access to the original account first.

iHerb offers several recovery options.

Temporary Code

On the sign-in screen, you can request access using a one-time code.

iHerb sends a six-digit code to the registered email address or phone number.

The code is valid for a limited time; iHerb currently states that it remains valid for 10 minutes.

If the message does not arrive, check your spam folder.

Check How You Registered

If your order history suddenly seems to have disappeared, you may simply be signed in to the wrong account.

For example, you may previously have used:

• one Gmail address;
• a phone number;
• “Sign in with Google”;
• Apple ID;
• Facebook.

These options can be connected to different accounts if you used different details at different times.

Do Not Enter the Password Repeatedly

iHerb says that after six consecutive unsuccessful sign-in attempts, an account is temporarily locked.

Automatic unlocking occurs after approximately one hour. You can also use password reset or a temporary code.

Can You Have Multiple iHerb Accounts?

iHerb follows a “one account per customer” policy.

One email address or phone number can be linked to only one account.

iHerb also states that two existing accounts cannot be merged.

Do not create a new account simply because you forgot your password or sign-in method. Recover access to the existing account first.

Can You Change Your Email Address or Phone Number Later?

Yes. You can change your account contact details in iHerb settings.

Sign in and open:

My Account → Settings → Two-Step Verification.

After the change, iHerb will ask you to confirm the new email address or phone number with a verification code.

The new email address or phone number must not already be used by another iHerb account.

What to Do After Registering

Once your account is created, you can start shopping.

Before your first order, it is useful to:

1. Check the delivery country.
2. Choose your preferred currency.
3. Add products to your cart.
4. Review the available delivery methods.
5. Enter the delivery address exactly as required by the selected carrier.
6. Check current iHerb promo codes.
7. Review the order contents, discounts, and final total again before paying.
