cross-border e-commerce
PayPal has been selected by Chinese undergarment brand, Aimer, for its online payment capabilities (view press release). Aimer’s new international shopping mall will utilise PayPal’s infrastructure for cross-border e-commerce.
“We have opened two flagship stores in Hong Kong as the first step, but we do believe that it will be a much more effective way to accelerate our global expansion by engaging in cross-border e-commerce.” Sun Wei, General Manager of Beijing Aimer International “Since we opened our online shopping mall, we have received a high quantity of orders from overseas buyers paying with PayPal. We believe PayPal’s global recognition as a trusted payment platform and its vast user base around the world will help us grow our international sales.”
