With the development of cross-border e-commerce, e-commerce platforms have continuously introduced services including Internet foreign marketing, international payment, cross-border payment, overseas logistics, and finance in combination with business practices in the field of foreign trade.
The transaction characteristics of traditional foreign trade B2B are large amounts and long cycles, coupled with the risk of fluctuations such as exchange rates. During this period, online payment and financial logistics models were not widely used. Because the situation of traditional foreign trade was good, more traditional foreign trade companies still chose traditional international trade processes and completed the overall process after foreign trade transactions through offline export agents, customs declaration companies, and logistics companies. However, during this period, the cross-border payment, financial logistics and other services of e-commerce platforms have gradually penetrated into the traditional cross-border e-commerce field, and have gradually played an increasingly important role and effect. At the same time, with the accumulation of these data by e-commerce platforms, an ecosystem based on cross-border e-commerce data has gradually formed, laying a solid foundation for the arrival of the cross-border e-commerce 3.0 era, and the data era is about to emerge.
