What you can pay for in Aliexpress
You will see the exact amount and currency before you confirm the payment.
| What you pay for | When it is charged | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Price + delivery and taxes | The result is visible before order confirmation |
| Delivery | Separate line in the order | Depends on country and method |
| Store subscriptions | If available | Free shipping and discounts |
Why a Russian card is declined
Russian bank cards cannot pay for Aliexpress. Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks have not worked abroad since 2022, and Mir cards are rarely accepted outside Russia, so the payment is declined.
A P2D dollar card does not depend on Russian banks and works in services that accept Mastercard.
Paying for Aliexpress with a P2D card
Use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You pay yourself — do not give your account password to anyone.
The charge is the price plus a $0.75 fee for each payment. To pay $20, the card needs $20.75. Later payments do not include the issue fee again — top the card up.
