Recognizing AliExpress Checkout.com Purchases
Unreviewed registry note: A billing entry showing CKO * ALIEXPRESS represents an AliExpress marketplace purchase via Checkout.com from Alibaba Group (AliExpress). The CKO prefix denotes Checkout.com, an international payment service provider that processes credit card settlements and currency conversions for cross-border e-commerce orders. When you buy goods from overseas manufacturers or independent sellers on AliExpress, the payment clears your card under this processor tag.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears whenever you or someone in your household places an order on aliexpress.com or through the AliExpress mobile application. Because AliExpress hosts thousands of third-party vendors selling consumer electronics or household accessories, the charge amount can range from small dollar amounts up to several hundred dollars for larger merchandise packages. Orders frequently ship from international fulfillment centers, which means physical delivery can take several weeks after the card transaction posts.
Unreviewed registry note: To review the charge, log into your AliExpress account and open the My Orders section to locate the purchase matching the statement date and dollar total. AliExpress maintains a Buyer Protection guarantee that shields shoppers if packages never arrive or show up damaged. If neither you nor anyone in your home placed this order, contact your card issuer immediately to report the unauthorized charge and request a card replacement.
