As we all know, Amazon, as a global cross-border trade e-commerce platform, has a huge influence on global traders. On the Amazon platform, buyers can communicate freely with global sellers and realize cross-border transactions. This feature also causes sellers’ trading counterparties to often come from all over the world. How to collect payments efficiently and at low cost has become the most concerned issue for sellers.
Here we have a basic concept. There are no absolute advantages or disadvantages in any payment method that currently exists and has a certain number of customers. The reason why it is chosen by customers is that one or more characteristics of this method itself are more in line with the needs of specific customers. Therefore, when sellers choose a payment method, they do not have to directly judge which method is good, but to look at their own transaction demands and characteristics rationally and choose a suitable method.
Generally speaking, the analysis of payment methods is mainly carried out from several dimensions. The first and most important is the registration threshold, because this condition determines that some sellers who are individuals or companies as the main business entity cannot choose certain payment methods. The second is the support for currencies. There are two levels of problems here, the first is the transaction currency, and the second is the withdrawal currency. The so-called transaction currency refers to the currency that can support the buying and selling transactions. When the currency is credited, the seller needs to convert the corresponding currency into the currency he needs, which involves the withdrawal currency. At present, the mainstream payment methods are generally comprehensive in terms of currency support, and generally support RMB withdrawal transactions, but the rates and timeliness are slightly different. Speaking of rates and timeliness, it is the next issue that sellers need to care about. Different payment methods have different charging items. Sellers need to consider various fees and calculate the comprehensive cost, especially according to their withdrawal cycle and amount. Choose a reasonable charging method. There are currently two main types of charges: per transaction and per amount. In terms of timeliness, bank accounts are the slowest, and other financial company platforms are relatively fast. At present, some companies have proposed the selling point of same-day arrival, and sellers can also flexibly choose according to their own needs.
As for the security of payment methods, generally speaking, as long as it is a recognized mainstream platform, there is no problem with regulatory security, so you can choose it with confidence.
