The introduction of Alipay into China Yiwu Commodities Online will realize an integrated E-commerce that

Dozens of famous E-commerce service agencies home and abroad have marched their way into Yiwu's E-commerce market, including Alibaba, Global Sources, HC360.COM, But since the payment problem remains unsovled,most of the E-commerce websites are only run for product display.

After receiving the goods, the purchaser will advise Alipay that payment should be transfeered to the Seller. It is learnt that Alipay, an agency of Alibaba, is an enterprise specializing in providing on-line payment service. It enables individuals and businesses to securely, easily and quickly send and receive payments online, solving the issue of settlement risk. Above all, Alipay is a third party between the buyer and the seller, who assesses the credits of the two parties and protects their interests.
