Payment Methods FAQs

Can I pay via local currency transfers if I am based in Europe?
Yes. Through our integrated international banking partnerships (including Wise virtual infrastructure), we provide dedicated EUR and GBP receiving accounts. This allows you to perform local SEPA or FPS transfers, eliminating heavy intermediary bank fees.
What is the minimum deposit required to start a sourcing project?
For standard sourcing and procurement contracts, we initiate supplier vetting and product matching after the baseline project fee is cleared. For mass production or consolidation, we support tiered milestone payments (e.g., deposit + balance after successful Quality Control inspection).
Why does trading via third-party escrow (Fiverr/Taobao) incur extra fees?
Direct B2B wire transfers carry 0% platform hidden fees. However, if your risk compliance policy requires platform escrow (Fiverr or Taobao), the additional 10% to 25% charges are added purely to offset the transaction commissions, service marks, and withdrawal margins levied by those independent networks.
How do African clients settle payments for Mini Importation orders?
We understand the remittance challenges in regional African markets. We accept direct Western Union for fast retail settlement, as well as mainstream Chinese digital wallets (Alipay/WeChat Pay) and standard SWIFT transfers to ensure your 1688 and Pinduoduo cargo moves without delay.
