> Download the Westpoint app, create your account with phone or social sign-in, choose your role, and place your first order with this step-by-step guide.

You can be browsing products and placing your first order on Westpoint in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through downloading the app, creating an account, and completing your first purchase.

## Create your account and place your first order

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Westpoint app">
    Search for Afrizon in the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and install the app.

    Once the app opens, you'll see the onboarding screen. If it's your first time, a language selector appears automatically so you can choose **English**, **Swahili**, or **French** before continuing.

    <Tip>
      You can browse featured products, stores, and categories without signing in by tapping **Skip for now**. You'll need an account to add items to your cart or place an order.

  <Step title="Sign up for an account">
    Tap **I'm new, sign me up** on the welcome screen. Afrizon offers two ways to register:

        3. Check your SMS for a 6-digit verification code and enter it on the next screen.

        <Note>

        3. If this is your first time, you'll be taken to the role selection screen to finish setting up your account.
