Paying Service Providers in Cross-Border E-Commerce: A Guide for Vietnamese Sellers

The Other Side of Cross-Border Payments: Paying Service Providers

In cross-border e-commerce, financial flows move in both directions. While receiving revenue from platforms such as Amazon, Shopify, or TikTok Shop is critical, sellers must also manage payments to a wide range of service providers. These include marketing agencies, freelance designers, SaaS platforms, logistics partners, and factories.

This raises an essential question: How can sellers pay international partners efficiently, securely, and at a reasonable cost?
Traditional bank transfers often involve high fees, delays, and unnecessary complexity. LianLian Global addresses this challenge with an integrated wallet solution that allows sellers to both receive and disburse funds from one centralized platform.

Method 1: Internal Wallet Transfers for Seamless Payments

When both the seller and the service provider use LianLian Global, payments can be made through internal wallet transfers within the ecosystem.

Key advantages:

• Zero transaction fees
  
  

• Instant settlement without bank processing delays
  
  

• Simple tracking and management through a unified platform
  
  

This method is particularly suitable for freelancers, agencies, or business partners already using LianLian wallets in supported regions.

Note: Internal wallet transfers are not yet available in all markets. In cases where the provider is outside the supported regions, international transfers may be more appropriate.

Method 2: International Transfers Directly from the Wallet

For partners who do not use LianLian Global or are located in unsupported countries, sellers can use the wallet’s international transfer function. This feature enables direct payouts to overseas bank accounts in multiple currencies.

Examples of use cases:

• Paying a software subscription or agency in the United States (USD)
  
  

• Settling service fees with a design team in Australia (AUD)
  
  

• Sending recurring payments to logistics providers or manufacturers
  
  

Why this method works for sellers:

• No need for third-party bank accounts or additional platforms
  
  

• Transparent fees with competitive foreign exchange rates
  
  

• Real-time tracking in a user-friendly Vietnamese interface
  
  

• Funds deducted directly from the wallet balance and no additional top-up required

An Integrated Ecosystem for Receiving and Paying

What distinguishes LianLian Global is its ability to connect the entire financial flow of cross-border e-commerce. Sellers can receive payouts from global platforms and pay international service providers within a single wallet environment.

This eliminates the need to transfer funds back to Vietnam before sending them abroad again, reducing unnecessary steps and minimizing error risks.

Practical Example: Managing Payments Efficiently

• A seller receives USD 10,000 from Amazon into the LianLian wallet.
  
  

• They need to pay USD 1,500 to a marketing agency in Singapore. The payment is made directly from the wallet.
  
  

• The remaining balance can then be withdrawn to a Vietnamese bank account at competitive FX rates.
  
  

All transactions are completed within one platform without hidden charges or complex procedures.

Conclusion: Streamlining Outgoing Payments for Global Growth

Receiving revenue is only part of the equation in cross-border commerce. Managing outgoing payments to service providers is equally essential for long-term success.

LianLian Global’s wallet provides Vietnamese sellers with a reliable, transparent, and cost-effective solution to handle both sides of the financial flow. This is a good solution to help businesses focus on growth rather than administrative challenges.
