How much is Stripe transaction fee

Stripe charges 2.9% plus $0.30 per successful card transaction for domestic US payments, while international cards incur an additional 1.5% fee and currency conversion adds another 1%. For Indian businesses receiving cross-border payments, these fees can add up quickly, and Stripe's availability for direct payouts to Indian accounts is limited. Many exporters and freelancers find Stripe pricing less competitive for their use case compared to dedicated cross-border platforms.

Skydo offers a more cost-effective alternative for Indian freelancers and exporters, as an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for receiving international payments with transparent pricing and faster settlements to Indian bank accounts. Unlike payment gateways designed primarily for e-commerce, Skydo streamlines invoice-based B2B and freelance payments without the layered fees typical of card processors.
