Who can use PayPal

PayPal is available to individuals and businesses in over 200 markets worldwide, including India. Anyone 18 years or older with a valid email address and bank account can create a PayPal account to send and receive payments. In India, users can link their local bank accounts or cards to PayPal for domestic and international transactions, though receiving international payments as a freelancer or exporter often incurs conversion fees and longer processing times.

Indian exporters and freelancers seeking a faster, more cost-effective alternative often turn to Skydo, an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform designed specifically for receiving international payments. You can review the full PayPal overview to compare features, fees, and settlement times. Skydo typically offers better exchange rates, faster transfers, and transparent pricing tailored to the needs of Indian businesses and independent professionals working with global clients.
