How to set up PayPal for international payments

To set up PayPal for international payments, create a business account on PayPal's website, verify your identity and bank details, and link an Indian bank account that supports foreign currency transactions. Enable international payment acceptance in your account settings and configure your preferred currencies. Keep in mind that PayPal typically charges around 3% to 4% in transaction fees plus currency conversion markups, and fund transfers to your Indian bank can take several business days.
