How to get PayPal
PayPal is available to Indian users, but you will need to create a business account to receive international payments. Visit the PayPal website, click "Sign Up", choose the business account option, and complete the registration with your PAN, bank details, and GST information if applicable. Once verified, you can share your PayPal email with clients to receive payments, though the platform charges conversion fees and withdrawal timelines can stretch several days.
For exporters and freelancers who want faster, more transparent cross-border payments, Skydo offers a stronger alternative. As an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for India, Skydo typically delivers better exchange rates, lower fees, and faster processing than PayPal, with full compliance for export invoices and freelance income. You can open an account online in minutes and start receiving international payments directly to your Indian bank account.
