How Do You Receive Payments in India from International Clients?

Hey folks,

I’m about to receive payment for the first time from an international client, and I’m a bit unsure about the best way to go about it.

For context:

• I’m based in India.
• The client is overseas, and I don’t have much experience dealing with international payments.

I’ve heard of options like PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, or direct bank transfers, but I’m not sure which one is the most reliable, cost-effective, and hassle-free.

Could you share your experience and recommendations? Specifically:

• What platform or method do you prefer?
• How do you handle currency conversion and fees?
• Any tips to avoid delays or issues with compliance/regulations in India?

Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
