Send Money to Alipay Instantly Using Wise (Step-by-Step Guide)
For global retailers sourcing products from China, making payments to suppliers can be tricky — high bank fees, slow transfers, and currency conversion hassles often stand in the way.
Luckily, with Wise (formerly TransferWise), you can now send money to your suppliers’ Alipay accounts quickly, securely, and with low fees — no hidden costs, no complicated setup.
Here’s how to transfer money to Alipay using Wise in just a few steps.
🔹 Step 1: Get Your Supplier’s Alipay Account Details
Before initiating the transfer, ask your supplier for the following information:
Alipay ID (账号): 135***5057
Last Name (姓): [Supplier’s Last Name]
First Name (名): [Supplier’s First Name]
They can verify this through Alipay’s official international remittance platform:
👉 https://remit.alipay.com
This ensures you’re sending money to the correct verified Alipay account.
🔹 Step 2: Add Your Supplier as a Recipient in Wise
Log into your Wise business account (or personal, if applicable), and:
Add a New Recipient
Select Currency: Choose CNY (Chinese Yuan)
Select “Someone Else”
Enter Supplier’s Details:
Email: li***@china-sourcingpro.com
Account Holder Name: [Supplier’s Name]
Alipay ID: 1352****057
💡 Pro Tip: Double-check details to avoid failed transfers — Alipay accounts are linked to verified real names.
🔹 Step 3: Send the Payment
Enter your payment amount
Review the exchange rate and fee summary
Confirm your payment method (bank transfer, debit, or credit card)
Wise will show you the estimated delivery time — many Alipay transfers arrive within hours.
