| ▲ | mystraline 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | This person is correct. I pay for 2 servers running in Asia under Alibaba, using my local CVS drugstore. Im in the Midwest USA. Not a single problem at all. | | |
| ▲ | oefrha an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Hmm I have a couple Alibaba Cloud servers located in CN Hangzhou region and I just pay with my U.S. credit card, no Alipay needed. alibabacloud.com is meant for international customers anyway. I’m not sure if aliyun.com accepts international CCs, maybe you’re using that. | |
| ▲ | chrononaut 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Sorry, I am not familiar with Alipay, at least in the use case you're referring to; How do you exactly pay for 2 servers using Alipay from a CVS? | | |
| ▲ | mystraline 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I can load US dollars I hand over to the CVS attendant and load it on my AliPay (Alibaba account). I can then pay my Alibaba server bills with Alipay. | | |
| ▲ | DANmode 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Is there an intermediary? The cash doesn’t go directly from CVS to AliPay, right? | | |
| ▲ | nemomarx 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | CVS also accepts alipay as a payment method, so they must have some kind of direct partnership. I don't see why they'd need an intermediary, although maybe they take the cash and just credit alipay some balance etc. | | |
