Alibaba’s Aliexpress is the latest global e-commerce platforms to support mobile money payments through M-Pesa. The m-pesa payment feature is available on the latest version of the Aliexpress App.
Previously, the Aliexpress only supported card and wire transfer payment options and thus the move to support M-Pesa is significant.
Express is one of the few global e-commerce platforms that provide a cheap (snail mail) options of shipping products from China to Kenya.
The site has an impressive catalogue of products and is often the best source for smartphone and tech accessories.
Apart from the convenience of being able to tap directly from your M-Pesa account, the mobile money option provides a seamless way to channels refunds back to your M-Pesa account.
You therefore, get to avoid the Kafkaesque situation that you often have to go through with some Kenyan banks when processing refunds.
