How to get PayPal in India

Getting PayPal in India is straightforward. Visit the PayPal website, click "Sign Up," and choose between a personal or business account. You will need to provide your email address, create a password, and enter your personal details including your Indian mobile number and PAN card information. Once verified, you can link an Indian bank account or eligible credit or debit card to withdraw funds or make payments. However, PayPal in India has significant limitations: you cannot receive international payments for freelance work or export services directly into an Indian PayPal account, which makes it unsuitable for most cross-border earnings.

For receiving international payments as an Indian freelancer or exporter, platforms like Skydo offer a more practical solution. Skydo is RBI-authorised and built specifically for Indian businesses and freelancers to collect payments from overseas clients quickly and cost-effectively. Before committing to any platform, review the PayPal overview to understand how different services compare in terms of fees, speed, and India-specific functionality.
