How to change currency in PayPal

To change your currency in PayPal, log in to your account, click the gear icon for Settings, navigate to Payment Preferences, then select Manage Currencies. From there you can add a new currency balance or set a preferred currency for transactions. Keep in mind that PayPal applies its own exchange rates and conversion fees, which can reduce the amount you actually receive from international clients.

If you're an Indian exporter or freelancer regularly receiving payments from abroad, consider alternatives like Skydo that offer more transparent pricing and faster processing. Read our PayPal overview to understand how different platforms compare on rates, speed, and regulatory status. Skydo is RBI-authorised and typically delivers better exchange rates with lower fees, helping you keep more of what you earn from cross-border transactions.
