Registration and Payment for Alibaba Cloud International Edition Account

For novice users, registering and paying for an Alibaba Cloud International Edition account can be a daunting task. First, you need to obtain a foreign mobile number, and then you are required to link a Paypal or international credit card to your account. In this article, I will introduce a distributor called SwanCloud, which allows you to open an Alibaba Cloud International Edition account without the need for a credit card or Paypal.

Preparation

• Prepare an email address for registering Alibaba Cloud International Edition.
• Prepare a Hong Kong or US mobile number.

If you have Google Voice, you can use it. Otherwise, you can purchase one from Taobao or Hostloc. Alternatively, you can directly contact SwanCloud and ask them to provide a mobile number for you.

Registration Process

Contact the distributor SwanCloud and ask for an invitation link. Use this link to register.

Create a new account through the invitation link. Pay attention to selecting the correct region. If you have a Hong Kong mobile number, choose Hong Kong; if you have a US mobile number, choose the US. Otherwise, you won't pass the verification process.

After registration, you will be notified that you are unable to associate with the distributor. Ignore this message and wait for a few seconds for automatic redirection. Complete the account information.

Provide accurate and genuine account information, avoiding filling in fake details.

After registering your account, contact SwanCloud to top up your Alibaba Cloud International Edition account balance. Once you have topped up, you can make any purchases on the Alibaba Cloud website.
