How to add PayPal payment method
You can add a payment method to receive international payments in several ways, each with different processing times and cost structures.
- Skydo: An RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, offering fast transfers, transparent pricing, and one of the most cost-effective ways to receive international payments directly to your Indian bank account.
- PayPal: Widely accepted but charges currency conversion fees and withdrawal fees to Indian banks, with longer settlement times compared to direct transfer platforms.
- Wise: Offers mid-market exchange rates with upfront fees, though transfer speeds and costs vary depending on the currency corridor.
- Direct bank transfer (SWIFT): Traditional method that involves correspondent banks, typically resulting in higher fees and longer processing times of 3 to 5 business days.
- Payoneer: Provides virtual receiving accounts in multiple currencies but involves withdrawal fees when moving funds to your Indian bank.
