LianLian Global has partnered with PayPal to offer direct wallet payouts.

Its social commerce, marketplace and e-commerce clients can now pay creators and contractors through PayPal in 96 markets. They can also pay Venmo users in the US.

LianLian Global is an affiliate of Lianlian DigiTech. The Hong Kong-listed group set up its overseas headquarters in the city in November 2025.

The move is aimed at the creator and gig economy, where many payees already hold PayPal or Venmo accounts.

LianLian Global will handle cross-border collection, foreign exchange and compliance. PayPal will provide its global wallet network.

Clients can pay PayPal users with only an email address or phone number. No bank details are required.

Platforms that pay many sellers and creators can send bulk payouts through PayPal Payouts for Platforms. PayPal Payouts is live in 96 markets and 24 currencies.

“We see our work with PayPal as a key step in building the payout rails for the global gig economy,”

said Sandra Lam, Deputy CEO of US at LianLian Global.

The company said the move widens its payout reach and supports its growth in the US and other markets.
