Grossvend Ecart Limited is a retail company that is registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission which has its trading name as Grossvend.
In the dynamic world of e-commerce, adaptability and strategic foresight are key to thriving, especially in markets facing unique challenges. In Nigeria, one such challenge has emerged with local banks imposing restrictions on the use of Nigerian debit and credit cards for international transactions.
This development threatened to disrupt the shopping habits of millions of Nigerians who rely on global platforms like AliExpress for their needs. However, CEO Chukwuma Prince, the forward-thinking leader of Grossvend, saw this challenge as an opportunity to innovate and bring value to consumers.
The result? A ground-breaking partnership with AliExpress designed to bypass these restrictions and ensure that Nigerian shoppers continue to enjoy seamless access to international products.
In recent years, Nigeria has witnessed a surge in e-commerce, driven by a young, tech-savvy population eager to shop online. Platforms like AliExpress have become household names, offering a wide range of products at competitive prices.
However, the ability to purchase from these international platforms was suddenly put at risk when local banks started limiting or blocking the use of Nigerian-issued cards for transactions on foreign websites. This was a move aimed at controlling the outflow of foreign currency amidst economic pressures.
“The restrictions on local cards were a significant blow to consumers who had come to rely on platforms like AliExpress for their shopping needs,” CEO Chukwuma Prince explains. “We knew that we had to find a solution that would not only address this issue but also enhance the shopping experience for our customers.”
Understanding the urgency of the situation, CEO Chukwuma Prince sear headed negotiations with AliExpress to create a partnership that would allow Nigerian sear headed consumers to continue shopping on the platform without needing to use their local cards for international payments.
The solution was the integration of a local payment gateway, allowing consumers to make purchases on Grossvend using local payment methods, such as bank transfers, Bank cards, USSD code and other alternative payment systems popular in Nigeria.
“This partnership with AliExpress is about more than just maintaining access to international products—it’s about providing a seamless, secure, and reliable payment solution that caters specifically to the Nigerian market,” says CEO Chukwuma Prince.
“By enabling local payments, we’re ensuring that our customers can continue to shop without interruption, even in the face of these new restrictions.”
Beyond addressing the immediate issue of payment restrictions, the partnership between Grossvend and AliExpress also brings additional benefits to Nigerian consumers. With Grossvend serving as a local intermediary, customers can now enjoy faster transaction processing and enhanced customer support tailored to the Nigerian market.
“Our goal has always been to put the customer first, and this partnership allows us to do just that,” CEO Chukwuma Prince says. “By localizing the payment process, we’re not only solving a problem but also improving the overall shopping experience.

Our customers can now shop with confidence, knowing that their transactions are secure and that they have access to local customer support if needed.
As Grossvend and AliExpress continue to roll out this partnership, CEO Chukwuma Prince is already looking to the future. With plans to expand the range of local payment options and explore additional services tailored to the Nigerian market, Grossvend is positioning itself as a leader in innovative solutions that bridge local challenges and global opportunities.
“Innovation is at the heart of what we do,” CEO Chukwuma Prince concludes. “The challenges we face today are opportunities to create better solutions for tomorrow. Our partnership with AliExpress is just the beginning—we’re committed to continuing to find new ways to serve our customers and support the growth of e-commerce in Nigeria.”
As the partnership evolves, it stands as a testament to CEO Chukwuma Prince’s ability to navigate complex challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth and innovation. By keeping the Nigerian market connected to the global economy, Grossvend is not only ensuring the continued success of its business but also playing a crucial role in shaping the future of e-commerce in Nigeria.
