How is Stripe different from PayPal

Stripe is a developer-focused payment gateway built for online businesses to accept payments through websites and apps, while PayPal functions as both a payment processor and a digital wallet that consumers use directly. Stripe requires technical integration and charges businesses per transaction (typically around 2.9% plus a fixed fee), whereas PayPal offers simpler setup but often higher fees for international transactions. For a detailed breakdown, read our guide on Stripe vs PayPal international payments 2025.

If you're an Indian exporter or freelancer receiving international payments, Skydo offers a compelling alternative to both. As an RBI-authorised platform, Skydo combines transparent forex rates, zero receiving fees, and faster settlement times, making it more cost-effective than traditional processors while remaining fully compliant for cross-border transactions into India.
