Can I use PayPal

Yes, you can use PayPal to receive international payments in India, though it comes with notable limitations. PayPal allows Indian users to receive funds from clients abroad, but withdrawals to your Indian bank account often incur high fees, typically around 3% to 4% of the transaction value, and currency conversion rates can be unfavorable. Additionally, transfer times may take several business days, and there are restrictions on certain transaction types.

For a more cost-effective alternative, Skydo is an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform designed specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers. Skydo offers faster processing, transparent forex rates, and significantly lower fees compared to PayPal, making it a smarter choice for receiving payments from international clients. The platform also provides dedicated support and compliance assistance tailored to Indian business needs.
