Can Stripe take international payments

Yes, Stripe can take international payments from customers in over 135 countries and supports more than 135 currencies. Businesses using Stripe can accept payments through credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets, and local payment methods, making it a versatile solution for global transactions. However, Stripe's functionality for receiving international payments into India comes with important limitations. Indian businesses need to integrate Stripe through a foreign entity or use Stripe Atlas, which adds complexity and compliance overhead.

For Indian exporters and freelancers who want a simpler path to receive international payments directly into their Indian bank accounts, Skydo offers a more streamlined alternative. As an RBI-authorised platform, Skydo is built specifically for cross-border receivables in India, with transparent pricing and faster settlement times. You can compare Stripe pricing against Skydo to understand the cost differences and choose the solution that best fits your business needs.
