Platforms and payment methods
Many Chinese suppliers use payment methods that are hard to access from Cameroon and Africa. We assist when the supplier accepts Alipay, Chinese bank transfer or marketplace payment.
- Alibaba and B2B suppliers
- 1688 and domestic Chinese sellers
- Tmall for selected purchases
- Direct factory or trading company contacts
Payment risks to avoid
Supplier payment is where many importers lose money: fake companies, suspicious personal accounts, unrealistic prices, product switches or no payment proof. We review the key signals before money moves.
- Company name consistency
- Production and trading evidence
- Supplier address and contact details
- Photos, videos or samples when needed
What happens after payment
After validation, you receive clear confirmation. We follow the supplier until the goods are ready and can arrange photo checks before shipping to Cameroon or another African destination.
- Paid amount confirmation
- Receipt or screenshot when available
- Supplier order follow-up
- Coordination with sourcing or freight services
