The role of Qiwi will be to use processing for settlements with foreign online stores and minimize the risks of buyers and sellers, explains project director Edwin Lukanov. “The seller is guaranteed to receive the amount in dollars for the order, while the buyer upon delivery will pay the amount in rubles, which he agreed upon at the time of placing the order on the website of the online store. Many participants in the cross-border trade market are showing interest in this product, ”he acknowledges.
DHgate.com has existed since 2004. The company has over 5.5 million customers in more than 224 countries. Retailer offers over 30 million items in various categories - from electronics, accessories and household goods to clothing and cosmetics. The founder of the company is Diana Wang. In 2004, its former online retailer Joyo.com bought Amazon for $ 75 million.
DHgate.com is the third largest Internet platform from China to enter the Russian market. AliExpress and JD.com have already come to Russia. “AliExpress’s success in Russia did not go unnoticed in China, we are glad that other companies are following in our footsteps,” said Mark Zavadsky, head of the Alibaba Group in Russia, told Kommersant. Logistics for today, thanks to the efforts of pioneers like AliExpress and eBay, is perfectly debugged, and there is no production in our country, that is, the Chinese come here seriously and for a long time, says Alexander Ivanov, President of the National Association of Distance Trading.
According to the president of the international business group JD.com, Viktor Xu, the volume of cross-border trade will double by the end of 2015. In 2014, it amounted to about $ 7 billion, with 63% of this amount accounted for by Chinese Internet retailers.
“In Russia, a large Internet audience by European standards is 75 million people, of which more than 20 million people have repeatedly made purchases in 2014. In the coming years, the audience of buyers and the frequency of purchases will increase. In addition, there is a significant potential for growth of the average check, which last year amounted to about 3.3 thousand rubles, while the average order for AliExpress was only about 800 rubles, ”says Price.ru general director Alexey Romanenkov. If Chinese suppliers can turn in purchases in dollars and euros that are unpopular with the Russian public in their favor, then their market share will grow even faster, he believes.
