Why cant I pay with PayPal

PayPal faces operational restrictions in India that prevent it from being used to receive business payments from international clients. The Reserve Bank of India's regulations limit PayPal's functionality, so while Indian users can send money abroad or make purchases, they cannot collect professional fees or export payments through the platform. This makes it unsuitable for freelancers and exporters who need a reliable way to get paid.

If you're looking for a compliant alternative, Skydo is an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform built specifically for Indian freelancers and exporters. It offers competitive exchange rates, faster settlements, and full regulatory compliance, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to receive international payments. You can compare the full details on the PayPal overview page to understand exactly why Skydo works where PayPal cannot, and how you can start receiving payments without the limitations that make PayPal unviable for business use in India.
