I believe it’s now called Alipay. the last time i bought wholesale off of Alibaba i didn’t have to do anything. It was already set up and integrated into the website. Just ask the supplier if they take alipay and, if their a good supplier, they shouldn’t have a problem with it.

Escrow is no longer available on the main Alibaba site. It was replaced with Trade Assurance which is somewhat less protective. As Pontiac says, Escrow is automatically included for purchases on the Alibaba wholesale site.
