Stripe fees vs Skydo fees
Stripe charges a standard fee of 2.9% plus an international currency conversion markup on cross-border transactions, which can add up quickly for Indian exporters receiving payments from overseas clients. In contrast, Stripe pricing tends to be higher than what specialized platforms offer because Stripe is built primarily as a payment gateway rather than a dedicated cross-border transfer service.
Skydo, an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform, is designed specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers and typically offers more competitive pricing with transparent forex rates and lower transfer fees. While Stripe is excellent for accepting online payments, Skydo focuses on the entire process of receiving, converting, and crediting foreign income to your Indian bank account efficiently and cost-effectively.
