How we calculate this

PayPal

5.5% cross-border fee + ~3% FX spread + $0.30 flat per invoice. Total ≈ 8.5%.

Wise

1.5–2.5% blended for USD→INR. We use 2.2% + $0.50 flat as a midpoint.

Bank wire

$35 flat fee + ~1.5% FX spread. Crushes small invoices, less painful on big ones.

Paystream

0.8% platform fee + ~$0.0001 Solana network fee per transaction. That's it.

These are estimates from publicly published fee schedules as of May 2026. Your actual fees may vary based on country, account tier, and currency. Numbers are illustrative.

The math is the same every month.

Connect your wallet once. Send your client a Paystream link. Keep the difference.
