Let's look at how to use this payment method and how convenient and safe it is to make such payments.

Currently, the branded payment method from the marketplace of the same name is the most popular. At the same time, despite the long history of the existence of such a payment method, many buyers are wondering about the reliability of such a service. In this article we will try to dispel all your doubts.

What kind of payment method is this?

At one time, the Alibaba consortium group, which also owns the marketplace, created this payment system for the greater convenience of regular customers of the site. When making a purchase, this system holds your money and gives it to the seller only if you receive your order and confirm that everything came in normal quality.

The system is periodically mistaken for Chinese Paypal, but this is not quite true, although they are very similar. Paypal is also available on the marketplace, but still Alipay is the only publicly available and most popular option on Aliexpress.

Let's talk about the security of the payment system.

Let's make a reservation right away that Alipay is a completely safe, reliable and very convenient system that was specially developed for the marketplace.

What is positive about it is that it does not transfer your personal data to third parties, and in case of unplanned transactions, it fully reimburses you for the damage incurred. As a result, you keep your credit or debit card details, your personal data, passwords in complete secrecy, which will speed up order processing and purchase as much as possible. At the same time, the data that you enter into this system will no longer need to be entered again. The system will remember them from the first time and in the future will simply clarify whether they have changed. This system also works outside the marketplace, which is also very convenient.

The principle of operation of the payment system.

The system holds your funds spent on payment for the purchase until you receive the parcel. If the parcel is delivered on time and everything in it is in proper quality, and you have confirmed it, then the system will give the go-ahead to transfer money to the seller.

If you are not satisfied with something, then you can open a dispute and the money will be delayed between you and the seller until all the circumstances of your dissatisfaction are clarified.

We have already written about the opening of disputes in one of our articles.

How do I register in the system?

Alipay has the ability to register directly from their website. But only to pay for your orders on the marketplace, you do not need to do this at all, since the marketplace in the settings will directly link your account to the system. To do this, you just need to place an order once and pay for it. Registration in the payment system will be made automatically.

The wallet of the payment system.

The virtual wallet with which you will make all payments in this system is called Alipay Wallet. You can quickly get to it by clicking on the link from our website.

It can be replenished, just like any virtual wallet from your bank card. And if you have several accounts, then you can safely make transfers between them using the same wallet. You can also accumulate money in it so that you can then withdraw it to the card.

To top up or not to top up your wallet?

Payment for the purchase does not depend on the presence or absence of money in the wallet of the system. Therefore, you do not need to constantly try to replenish it. When you complete the registration of your purchase and select the necessary bank card, the payment will be made from it. The wallet will only serve as just a wallet where you can accumulate leftovers from finances.

What is the advantage of constantly using Alipay?

A very big plus of constantly using this system is that you get bonuses that will increase your savings. The more often you use the system, the longer bonuses you will receive. And these bonuses can be added to the payment for purchases, which is also very convenient.

List of all bonuses:

• You get $2 for setting up an Alipay account and activating your balance.
• You will receive 1 US dollar for payment via Alipay three times a month.
• You will be charged $1 for adding a bank card.

And there are also additional bonus rewards for replenishing the wallet.

Where can I see information about my payments?

To access information about your payments and transfers, you need to click on the middle icon at the top right of the screen, and a picture with your financial movements will open.

How to make payments via Alipay?

The whole payment process is very simple and will not take much time. The system itself will automatically record all your money movements as soon as you pay for your order on the platform. As soon as you add your bank card, you are immediately registered by the system.

To add your bank card, you need to move the order to the shopping cart and select the "Add a new card" option as payment.

You can also log in from your account to your wallet on Alipay, go to the option "Cards and bank accounts: organize", add your credit card number there, and choose it for further payments. Before changing the settings, the system will permanently and securely store your credit or debit card data. If you want to change something in the settings, then we have a separate article about it.

Is it really so cool to use the Alipay payment system?

We believe that in modern reality this is the most progressive payment system. For those who constantly buy on the marketplace, this is simply an irreplaceable system in its simplicity, speed, reliability, and effectiveness. And besides, you get a lot of advantages and an established bonus system. Yes, you also get a constantly stable payment system, because it is built into the marketplace platform and never freezes, and has no failures.

What is the reliability of payment methods in the marketplace?

We have already devoted several of our articles to payment methods on the sites, their comparative characteristics and comparison of their reliability.

Here we would just like to emphasize that despite the reliability of any of the methods, it is better and faster to use branded payment methods on the site, such as Alipay. Although the final choice is always up to the buyer.
