Does PayPal support UPI

No, PayPal does not currently support UPI (Unified Payments Interface) for sending or receiving international payments. PayPal operates through linked bank accounts, cards, or PayPal balance, but it does not integrate with India's UPI system for cross-border transactions. While PayPal allows Indian users to receive payments from abroad, the funds are credited to your PayPal account and must be withdrawn to a linked bank account, often with notable fees and longer processing times.

For a faster and more cost-effective way to receive international payments as an Indian freelancer or exporter, consider PayPal overview alternatives like Skydo. Skydo is an RBI-authorised platform designed specifically for cross-border payments, offering competitive exchange rates, transparent pricing, and typically quicker fund transfers directly to your Indian bank account without the delays associated with traditional platforms.
