How to pay for an order on Aliexpress by cash on delivery without prepayment
The trading platform provides a large selection of versions for transferring funds for products ordered on the service. But Aliexpress, like many other trading platforms, operates on 100% prepayment. It is not possible to conclude an agreement with cash on delivery.
Due to the fact that sending parcels costs money, and the item is sometimes cheaper than the delivery itself, this service has been made unavailable. Since when returning, the client remains in the red, because shipping is paid by the buyer.
How to return money and where the funds are returned
When making a transaction using any method of transfer, the client is covered by “buyer protection”. Regardless of how you paid for the product, if there is a dispute and a decision is made in favor of the consumer, the money will be returned.

Why can’t you choose a cash payment method on the Aliexpress website?

Very often, users refuse to shop online because they are afraid to enter bank information and do not know about other payment methods. This article will talk about all the existing options in detail one by one.
Speaking of security on AliExpress
Nowadays, only the lazy don’t start an online store, so it’s scary to enter your card details - no one knows in whose hands they might end up. But AliExpress - world famous site purchase and sale with an excellent reputation, which is used not by hundreds, but by millions of people.
All transactions on AliExpress go through the Escrow system: the seller will not see your data, will not receive payment information, and the money will be credited only after you confirm receipt of the purchase at home. In addition, AliExpress protects all entered data using the latest systems Visa, MasterCard and VeriSignSSl encryption.
And that's not all: AliExpress uses HTTPS protocol on your website, through which information transferred between your computer and the server is encrypted and protected from intruders.
How can I pay for purchases on AliExpress?
We are sure that by now you have already realized that buying on is completely safe. Now we can concentrate on the payment methods accepted on this platform and their advantages and disadvantages.
1 – Payment by credit or debit card
This the most comfortable and a popular method among users, since now everyone has cards and they are very easy to get from any bank you like. AliExpress supports Visa debit and credit cards, MasterCard credit cards, Maestro debit cards and American Express.
You can also pay on the site using a virtual card or a prepaid card. This method eliminates the headaches of especially anxious clients, since with these cards you can only spend the money that was sent to them in advance, and you cannot go into the red.
2 - PayPal
Updated PayPal on this moment is not officially accepted by AliExpress, but their agreements are constantly changing, so try double-checking the information. Especially if you live in Europe.
This is the most famous international payment system, and it is convenient because you can connect a bank account to your PayPal account and pay for purchases with one button. The system will not ask you to enter long card and account numbers over and over again, but will simply ask for your email and password, and then confirmation by phone number to make sure that it is the account owner who pays for the goods. PayPal beret small commission from every transaction.
If you have PayPal, please do not write to the seller with an offer to pay for the goods on his personal account. Thus, AliExpress will not be able to protect you in case of fraud.
3 - Western Union
An equally well-known method is Western Union. However, this time you will have to go to the WU branch, carefully fill out the form and wait 3 days for confirmation of the transfer to the AliExpress bank account (not the seller). The minimum transfer amount here is $20 (1,350 rubles), there is a decent commission, so you won’t be able to pay for cheap trinkets this way. If you're ready to go for it, you can find step-by-step instructions and data for the WU form.
4 – Bank transfer
This is the most complicated and expensive way, so we recommend getting a card from the same bank and using it to pay for purchases on the Internet. This will save a lot of time and money. To send money you need to register international translation to your AliExpress account at a bank office, post office or online banking. You can only pay for orders costing more than $20, and an impressive commission for currency exchange and money transfer services abroad will be added to the cost.
5 – Other payment methods
Updated Today, AliExpress accepts the following payment methods:
Visa/MasterCard/Maestro, Wire transfer, WebMoney, Yandex.Money, Western Union, QIWI, DOKU, MercadoPago, Boleto, TEF, Ideal, Giropay, Sofort Banking, Przelewy24, American Express, payment via mobile phone in Russia (MTC, MegaFon, Beeline, TELE2).
Unfortunately, Paypal, installments, and COD (cash on delivery) are not accepted.

Can I pay for goods in local currency?
There are 4 official currencies on AliExpress: US dollar, British pound, euro and Russian ruble. Therefore, Russians should not have problems with currency exchange, since payment will be charged in rubles.
If you are a Russian, but live abroad and have a foreign account whose currency is not in the list above, when paying, the local currency will be automatically converted at the exchange rate of your bank. Contact the bank to find out additional information about the commission when paying in foreign currency. If you are reading us from Mexico or Indonesia, create Mercado Pago and Doku accounts respectively. They allow you to pay for orders in local currency without exchange rates.
How is the refund processed?
If you canceled the order on time, or something went wrong during delivery and you won the dispute with the seller, you are probably wondering where AliExpress is going to send you the money. The answer is very simple: the money will be returned the way you paid for the goods.
For example, if you paid credit card, then the funds will be transferred to the bank account associated with this card. If you paid using Yandex or Qiwi, the money will appear in your account. The hardest way to get a refund is through Western Union: you will need to top up your account through a WU branch with $15, and only then wait for the funds to arrive in a few days. You can read more about all the conditions and methods of returning money on AliExpress.
How to add or change card details on AliExpress?
AliExpress tried to make the site interface extremely simple and understandable. Change or add new map you can do it in two steps:
- When paying for a purchase, uncheck the box next to the saved card and place it next to the Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, etc. icons.
- A form will open below for you to fill in with your card details. If you want to use this card in the future, you can save it in your account.
So, what is the best payment method?
Choose one The best way It is simply not possible for everyone, since millions of users from AliExpress purchase different countries. It seems to us that pay by card and it is most convenient to receive returns on it. We definitely do NOT recommend using Western Union and bank transfer, otherwise online shopping from home loses its meaning.
