Amazon and Shopify Payouts for Chinese Cross-Border Sellers

For Chinese cross-border sellers, receiving payouts from global marketplaces like Amazon and Shopify remains one of the biggest challenges in international commerce. Traditional banking systems are slow to support non-resident entities, while third-party intermediaries often add complexity, hidden costs, and delays.

Modern payout infrastructure now enables Chinese businesses to receive Amazon and Shopify earnings directly in USD or EUR — without needing a US or EU company.

Why Amazon and Shopify Payouts Are Complex for Chinese Sellers

Most global marketplaces require sellers to have a settlement account in the currency of the marketplace, typically USD or EUR. For Chinese businesses, this creates several barriers:

• Local entity requirements – US or EU bank accounts are still tied to local registration.

• Slow settlement cycles – Funds can take up to a week to clear.

• High conversion costs – 2–4% lost on each payment through forced FX conversion.

• Unclear reconciliation – Marketplace payments often pass through multiple intermediaries, complicating financial reporting.

These challenges restrict cash flow, create accounting inefficiencies, and limit access to global liquidity.
