How to use PayPal to pay someone

To use PayPal to pay someone, log in to your PayPal account, click "Send & Request," enter the recipient's email address or mobile number, specify the amount, choose your payment method (linked bank account or card), and confirm the transaction. PayPal will notify the recipient immediately, and funds typically appear in their account within minutes, though withdrawals to a bank can take a few business days depending on the country.

If you're an Indian freelancer or exporter looking to receive international payments rather than send them, platforms like PayPal charge conversion markups and withdrawal fees that can add up quickly. Skydo offers a more cost-effective alternative as an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform, delivering faster transfers with transparent pricing and better exchange rates for inbound payments from global clients.
