Does AliExpress accept PayPal? Or, can you pay with PayPal on AliExpress? Yes, you can! AliExpress added PayPal as a payment method, just a few months ago. This means that you too can make an easy AliExpress payment with PayPal for your products of choice.

AliExpress And PayPal – Partners Since July 2017

Even though you are reading about AliExpress and Paypal in 2021, the two companies have been partners since July 2017. On the AliExpress platform, PayPal helps the sellers to accept payments through them. This cooperation might have seemed skewed in the favour of PayPal, since AliExpress has its own payment method called AliPay, which might seem a competitor at first glance. However, the cooperation was established because PayPal can bring 190 million users in more than 200 customers to the table. Due to this, AliExpress hopes to entice the users to make AliExpress payments with PayPal, because it’s so easy to use.

AliExpress And PayPal as Cooperation Partners

AliExpress would like to increase the fame of PayPal on the Chinese market, because at this point the market share is quite small. By AliExpress accepting PayPal, they hope to increase extra revenue, and by helping the product become even more known, the reliability will increase too. A good example of this is the previous cooperation of PayPal with Google. Due to this cooperation, Google could pull in an extra 16 million advertisers who were already using this payment method. The future will bring more of these cooperations; online shopping is still a growing market and AliExpress and PayPal have high ambitions in this sector. AliExpress would like to be bigger than Amazon for example, so paying on AliExpress with PayPal is just a step in this direction.
