Is it necessary to use personal funds for Aliexpress order processing?

Hello! So iv realized the payout date is a couple days after a customer has paid for the order. When I process the order on Aliexpress at that point I’m using my own money to pay for the order. As iv opened an account for purchases to go into IF that account is empty i wont be able to process the order…Is that correct? As I’m thinking maybe to set up a safety net and attach the account that process orders on Aliexpress to a credit card instead. Really hope this makes sense, any advise would be great! Marry xmas x

Hey, @MarleyD .

Thank you for reaching out, and Happy Holidays as well!

You are correct in the process. Purchasing from Aliexpress would be with your funds if you decide to put through the order before the payout is in your account. I always recommend making sure the payment is processed (see it in your scheduled payout) before you put through the order on Aliexpress to make sure the payment went through. Attaching a credit card to your Aliexpress account is an excellent way around this. You can organize your reports and credit card statement to see your monthly profit at the end of each month.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Hey Emily!

Awesome thanks for the clarification and advise.
