Pay TaoWorld with the World Account:
A smarter sourcing solution

With its vast product range, bulk ordering and fast fulfilment, TaoWorld has gained popularity as a go-to platform for business sourcing. Now, with WorldFirst, making payments to TaoWorld suppliers is easier than ever.

For SMEs navigating the world of cross-border sourcing, building reliable supplier networks and getting the best prices can be a time-consuming process. TaoWorld, Alibaba’s top bulk-buying platform, simplifies this by offering access to over 10,000 product categories, 800,000 suppliers and 4,000 brands.

With everything from apparel to electronics, homewares to pet supplies, and with fast fulfilment, it’s designed for businesses that need efficiency and reliability. It’s also the ideal place to find all the extras that keep your operations running – whether that’s packaging suppliers like boxes and tape, branded merchandise or materials for shipping and fulfilment.

TaoWorld isn’t just about sourcing though; it’s a one-stop platform that helps businesses not only connect with hundreds and thousands of suppliers, but also manage logistics and fulfilment in one place.

We’ve partnered with TaoWorld to make paying your suppliers fast and secure, eliminating the usual friction of cross-border transactions and allowing you to focus on scaling globally instead.

How TaoWorld and WorldFirst support business growth

To grow a business, you need streamlined operations so you can respond quickly to new opportunities as they come up. That’s where TaoWorld and WorldFirst step in, offering a solution that simplifies each stage of the process.

TaoWorld not only provides access to a vast network of suppliers and over 100 million products but also handles the heavy lifting when it comes to logistics and fulfilment. With fast shipping routes and reliable delivery, it’s designed to remove the typical barriers that slow down global trade.

Add WorldFirst’s World Pay payment solution to the mix, and you gain even more control over your international operations. By using a World Account, you can pay your TaoWorld suppliers in CNH in seconds.
