Creating your account
Registration takes a couple of minutes. You provide your name, email address, phone number, and a password, then confirm your email before signing in.
- Go to the registration page and fill in your details. Torra operates in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, so pick your country during signup.
- Torra sends a verification code to your email. Enter it on the verification screen to activate your account.
- Phone numbers are verified by OTP (one-time password) sent via SMS, so use a number you can receive messages on.
- Once verified, sign in with your email and password from any device.
Signing in and recovering access
Torra uses secure, token-based authentication. Your session stays active across pages without re-entering your password.
- Sign in from the login page with the email and password you registered with.
- Forgot your password? Use the forgot-password link to receive a reset email, then choose a new password.
- If an administrator flags your account for a password change, you'll be prompted to set a new password before continuing.
Your profile and settings
Your profile is the public face of your account and the hub for account management.
- Edit your display name, photo, and contact details from the profile page.
- Manage your active subscription from the subscription page inside your profile.
- Account preferences, including notification options, live under settings.
Finding your way around
Torra is organised into four marketplaces, each with its own browsing experience, categories, and seller tools.
- Marketplace — buy and sell physical products.
- Services — find and hire contractors and service providers.
- Real Estate — browse properties for sale or rent and book viewings.
- Vehicle Rentals — rent cars and other vehicles from local providers.
