How to request money via PayPal

To request money via PayPal, log in to your PayPal account, click "Request" from the main menu, enter the recipient's email address and the amount you want to request, add a note explaining what the payment is for, and click "Request Money". The recipient will receive an email notification with a link to complete the payment. PayPal charges a fee of around 3% to 4% plus a fixed amount for receiving international payments, and currency conversion spreads can add to the cost.

If you're an Indian freelancer or exporter looking for a more cost-effective alternative, PayPal overview comparisons show that Skydo offers significantly lower fees and faster settlement times. As an RBI-authorised platform, Skydo allows you to collect payments from international clients at transparent rates, typically saving 2% to 3% per transaction compared to traditional methods.
