Create your Goat Mart account, step by step

One Goat Mart account works for buying, selling, running a shop and managing a farm. You complete a short guided flow once — sign-up, role, profile, phone and email — and the illustration beside each step shows exactly what appears on screen. This guide covers what to prepare, how to choose a password that passes, and how to avoid the small mistakes that slow verification later.

Step 1

Before you begin: what you'll need

Gather four things before you start and the whole flow takes about three minutes. You need your name exactly as printed on your CNIC, a Pakistani mobile number you can receive an SMS on, an email address you can open now, and a password of at least twelve characters including a number and a letter.

Getting the name right at this stage matters more than it seems. Identity verification later checks that your account name matches your CNIC, so entering a nickname or a shortened spelling now simply creates rework when you apply for the verified seller badge.

1Have your CNIC nearby for the exact name spelling.
2Use a mobile number that can receive an SMS right now.
3Pick an email inbox you can open to confirm a link.
4Decide a strong password before you start typing.

Good to know

You do not need a computer. The entire flow is built for a phone, in Urdu or English.

Step 2

The five screens at a glance

Account creation is a single guided journey, not a long form. You move through sign-up, role, profile, phone verification and an optional email confirmation. A progress indicator shows where you are, and each screen saves as you go.

Whatever role you choose first, your name, photo and badges stay the same across the platform. You are never locked in — a buyer can add a seller, shop or farm workspace to the very same account whenever their needs grow.

Good to know

Finish now or later: if you stop after phone verification, you can complete your profile any time from account settings.

Step 3

Step 1 — Sign up with your real details

Open Sign up and enter your full name, Pakistani mobile number, email and a password. You can instead continue with Google or Facebook if you would rather not manage a password — either way you reach the same account.

Tick the Terms and Privacy box to continue. A bot check (Turnstile) may appear to keep automated abuse off the marketplace; it usually passes without any action from you.

1Enter full name, mobile number, email and password.
2Accept the Terms and Privacy policy.
3Complete the bot check if it appears.
4Tap Create account, or continue with Google / Facebook.

Good to know

Use a number you actually own — the next steps send a real one-time code to it.

Step 4

Choosing a password that passes

Goat Mart requires at least twelve characters with at least one number and one letter, and it rejects very common passwords such as "password1" or "goatmart". A memorable passphrase — three or four unrelated words plus a number — is both stronger and easier to recall than a short, complex string.

Use a password you have not reused on other sites. If remembering it is a worry, a phone password manager or your browser's built-in one can store it safely, so you are never tempted to write it in a chat or share it.

1Aim for 12+ characters using a short passphrase.
2Include at least one number and one letter.
3Avoid names, mobile numbers and common words.
4Never reuse a password from another website.

Good to know

Support will never ask for your password. Anyone who does is attempting a scam.

Step 5

Step 2 — Choose what brings you here

Next, pick the option closest to your goal: buy animals, sell animals, open a shop, manage a farm, or offer services. Your dashboard and menus are built around this choice, so the tools you need are front and centre from the first login.

This is a starting point, not a limit. If you later want to sell as well as buy, you add that workspace rather than creating a second account — your profile, verification and history carry across.

Step 6

Step 3 — Set up your profile

Add a clear profile photo, confirm your name, add an optional business or farm name, choose your city and write a short bio. Profiles with a real photo and name receive noticeably more replies, because buyers and sellers prefer dealing with someone they can see.

Everything here except your name is optional. You can tap Skip for now and complete these details later, but a few extra seconds here pays off in trust on every listing and message.

1Upload a clear photo of yourself (JPG or PNG, up to 8 MB).
2Add a business or farm name if you trade under one.
3Select your city so buyers can judge distance.
4Write a one-line bio of what you sell or manage.

Step 7

Step 4 — Verify your phone by SMS

We send a six-digit code by SMS to the number you entered. Type it into the six boxes and continue. Codes expire after five minutes; if one does not arrive, wait a moment and tap Resend rather than requesting many in quick succession.

Phone verification is the single most important step for trading. It unlocks the verified badge on your profile and is how buyers and sellers reach you about listings, offers and inspections.

1Confirm the mobile number shown is correct.
2Open your SMS and read the six-digit code.
3Enter it before the five-minute expiry.
4Tap Resend once if it is slow to arrive.

Good to know

During local testing without an SMS provider, the code is printed in the server console instead of texted.

Step 8

Step 5 — Confirm your email (optional)

Finally, we email a confirmation link. This step is optional, but confirming your email gives you the most reliable way to recover your account and reset your password if you ever forget it.

Once done, tap through to your dashboard — the button takes you straight to the workspace for the role you chose in step two, ready to list, shop or record.

Good to know

No email yet? Check spam, then use Resend. You can still reach your dashboard and confirm later.

Key takeaways

Prepare your CNIC name, mobile, email and a strong password first.
Match your name to your CNIC now to avoid verification delays.
Passwords need 12+ characters with at least one number.
Phone verification unlocks your verified badge and buyer contact.
Confirm your email so password recovery always works.
One account covers buyer, seller, shop and farm roles.

Questions members ask

Can I sign up without a password?

Yes. Choose Continue with Google or Facebook, or use WhatsApp OTP on the sign-in screen. You can add a password later from account settings.

Do I have to verify my email?

No, it is optional. But a confirmed email is the most reliable way to reset a forgotten password, so we recommend completing it.

The SMS code hasn't arrived. What should I do?

Wait a moment on a good signal, then tap Resend. Codes expire after five minutes, so always use the most recent one. Check the number shown is correct.

I chose the wrong role. What now?

Nothing is lost. You can add or switch roles from account settings at any time, and your profile and badges carry over.
