Can you use PayPal for personal transactions

Yes, you can use PayPal for personal transactions in India, including sending money to friends and family or making online purchases. However, PayPal is primarily suited for smaller domestic or international peer-to-peer transfers and e-commerce payments. For business-related international transactions, especially if you are a freelancer or exporter receiving payments from clients abroad, PayPal may not always be the most cost-effective choice due to its currency conversion margins and transaction fees.

If you regularly receive cross-border payments for professional services, Skydo offers a more competitive alternative. As an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, Skydo provides faster transfers, better exchange rates, and lower fees compared to traditional options, making it ideal for business payments rather than casual personal transactions.
