What is PayPal?

PayPal is payment gateways & upi from PayPal, based in San Jose, United States and has been building software since 1998. Cross-border payments for Indian exporters and freelancers.

Payment gateways let you collect money online through UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and EMI, and settle it to your bank. In India the gateway choice affects success rates, settlement speed and the fees you pay on every rupee, so it deserves more attention than the sign-up flow suggests.

Pricing is quoted per organisation, so ask the vendor for a proposal that matches your size.
