Pay for Pinkoi Designer Goods with a Virtual Card

What is Pinkoi?

Pinkoi is a design marketplace founded in Taipei in 2011, with offices in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and Shanghai. It hosts more than 50,000 independent shops selling bags, jewellery and accessories, stationery, clothing, home goods and food, and most of its orders cross a border.

Its checkout is built for buyers in many countries, but local bank cards from places with limited international payments are often declined. A virtual Mastercard funded with USDT lets you pay like any other international buyer.

Each item on Pinkoi is sold and shipped by the designer’s own shop, mostly from Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand. Shipping cost and delivery time are set per shop, so check them on the product page before you add an item to your cart.

For buyers in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, Pinkoi offers an International Forwarding Service: orders from several Taiwan-based shops go to Pinkoi’s warehouse and ship to you as one parcel.

Import duties are collected by customs and paid by the recipient, so budget for them on larger orders. For cross-border orders you can ask for a refund within 7 days after the parcel arrives; the designer handles returns and exchanges.

Membership is free. Pinkoi’s loyalty programme gives 1 P Coin for every US$0.20 spent; 500 P Coins are worth US$1 and can cover up to half the item total on orders over US$20. Coins expire six months after you earn them.

Pinkoi also sells gift cards, which is an easy way to send a present to someone who lives in another country.

Why local cards get declined at Pinkoi

Many local bank cards are not enabled for international online payments, or their bank refuses foreign merchants. Merchants abroad charge cards through global payment processors, so a domestic-only card is often declined even when it has enough balance.
