Once everything is complete, you're ready to shop at any AlyaPay partner store. Just tell the cashier "I want to use Alya" when you're ready to pay!

Troubleshooting

I didn't receive the OTP code

  • Check that you entered the correct phone number

  • Wait 2-3 minutes for the message to arrive

  • Check if your phone is blocking messages

  • Request a new code after 60 seconds

I can't create a password

Make sure your password meets all requirements:

  • At least 8 characters

  • Contains uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Contains at least one number

The email address is already in use

This means an account already exists with this email. Try:

  • Using a different email address

  • Resetting your password if you forgot it

  • Contacting support if you didn't create the account

My phone number is already registered

If you already have an account:

  • Use "Forgot Password" if you can't remember it

Account security tips

Use a strong password - Don't use the same password as other accounts

Never share your password - AlyaPay staff will never ask for it

Keep your phone secure - Set up a lock screen

Log out on shared devices - Don't stay logged in on public computers
