AliExpress is an online retail service based in China, owned by the global retail company Alibaba. AliExpress is a platform for small businesses to sell their products to individual customers. The products on the platform range from fashion items and accessories, electronics, home decorations, and supplies to cars and auto parts, as well as many other things. The platform is simple to use; and provides various payment methods, such as via credit/debit card and PayPal.

You can make payments on AliExpress using your Grey virtual US card. Here's a guide below:

Step 1

Request your Grey virtual card and ensure it is sufficiently funded. Here's a guide on how to request a virtual card and how to fund your card.

You can skip this step if you have already gotten your Grey card and funded it.

Step 2

  • Log in to your AliExpress account.

  • Click on "Account" and select "Payment" from the drop-down.

  • Click on "Add a new card."

Step 3

  • Enter your card details correctly, including card number, Name on card, date, and CVV, and save.

  • Note that after you add your card, a small test amount ($1) will be deducted by AliExpress for verification purposes. See more details in the image below.

Once you have saved your card as a payment method, you can select the saved card for payment during checkout.
