How to get payment from PayPal

To receive payment from PayPal, log into your PayPal account, navigate to your balance, and click "Transfer to Bank." Link your Indian bank account if you haven't already, then select the account and amount to withdraw. PayPal typically processes transfers to Indian banks in 3 to 5 business days, though currency conversion fees and transaction charges apply. Be aware that PayPal's exchange rates may be less favorable than other options.

If you regularly receive international payments for export or freelance work, comparing PayPal overview against alternatives like Skydo can help reduce costs. Skydo is an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, offering faster transfers, more competitive exchange rates, and transparent pricing. Many users find they save significantly on each transaction compared to PayPal's fee structure.
