How to sign up for PayPal

To sign up for PayPal, visit PayPal.com and click "Sign Up." Choose between a personal or business account, then enter your email, create a password, and provide your name, address, and phone number. Link a bank account or card to send and receive payments. For business accounts, you'll need to provide additional details like your business type and PAN.

While PayPal works for Indian exporters, many freelancers and businesses find that a PayPal business account for Indian exporters can come with higher fees and slower transfers compared to dedicated cross-border platforms. Skydo, an RBI-authorised payments platform, offers faster settlements, more competitive rates, and is built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers receiving international payments, making it a stronger alternative for regular cross-border transactions.
