What is PayPal and how to use it

PayPal is a digital wallet and online payment platform that allows individuals and businesses to send and receive money globally. To use it, create an account on PayPal's website or app, link your bank account or card, and you can then request payments by sharing your PayPal email address with clients. Once funds arrive in your PayPal balance, you can withdraw them to your linked Indian bank account, though this process can take several business days and involves currency conversion fees that add up quickly.

For Indian freelancers and exporters who need a faster, more cost-effective solution, Skydo offers a compelling alternative. As an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform, Skydo typically delivers international payments directly to your Indian bank account within 1 business day at highly competitive exchange rates, without the layered fees that platforms like PayPal often charge. You also get dedicated support and complete transparency on costs, making it easier to plan your cash flow and maximize what you actually receive from overseas clients.
