Alibaba is the premier import gateway for merchants and business owners worldwide. However, when it comes to paying for goods, you might consider leveraging your crypto balance for the payment.
But the catch is that Alibaba does not accept direct crypto payments; it requires a Visa card.
This guide explains how to use the Kazawallet card as a bridge to convert your crypto balance into a Visa payment method, enabling you to buy from Alibaba using crypto and fund your goods import instantly.
Why is the Kazawallet card the best solution for merchants and importers?
