How to set PayPal account to receive money

To set up your PayPal account to receive money, log in to PayPal, navigate to your account settings, and ensure your profile is complete with verified email and bank details. Link an Indian bank account under the "Money" or "Wallet" section so funds can be withdrawn locally. However, PayPal's fees for receiving international payments can be steep, often around 4% to 5% plus a fixed fee, and currency conversion margins add further cost.

For Indian freelancers and exporters looking for a faster, more cost-effective alternative, Skydo is an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform that typically offers better rates and quicker transfers than traditional options.
