How to use Stripe to pay someone

Stripe itself is a payment gateway that lets businesses collect money, but it doesn't directly send payments to individuals. If you want to pay someone using Stripe, you'll need to use Stripe Connect (which allows platform payouts to connected accounts) or integrate it into your invoicing system. Alternatively, if you're paying an international freelancer or vendor, especially in India, you can skip the Stripe complexity altogether.

Skydo is an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for cross-border payments that Indian exporters and freelancers use to receive funds from clients abroad. It offers faster transfers, transparent pricing, and dedicated support, making it simpler than rigging a Stripe payout setup. For straightforward international payments to India, Skydo handles compliance and conversion seamlessly.
