How to pay for goods from China: the "Pay by Friend" service

China is a country that impresses with its variety of goods and accessibility to consumers. Popular marketplaces, such as Taobao, Tmall or 1688, offer profitable wholesale and retail purchases of various goods.

However, there is a certain nuance: the largest Chinese e-commerce sites are aimed at compatriot buyers. Therefore, to pay for an order, you need to have an account in a Chinese bank to make a transaction in Chinese money. What should Ukrainian buyers do in this case? This is where DiFreight's new Pay by Friend service comes in handy.
