PayPal for international payments

D

All, I haven't used PayPal before and looking for some feedback. I am purchasing some subscriptions but I am not sure if I should enter the card details directly on the site or should I use PayPal? I will be using ICICI CC. Whichever payment mode I select will there be any additional charges on my card which will be added later on?
For ex, LastPass subscription is $36, will there be any additional conversion charges if I use PayPal using ICICI CC?

Use Keepass or Bitwarden instead.

PayPal has its own charges on top of FX conversion fee.

Avoid lastpass they keep getting hacked regularly try using bitwarden or if you want paid password manager use 1password. Paypal has no additional conversion charges however Paypal forex charges > ICICI CC so use bank conversion instead of paypal (you'll get the option at the time of payment)

I have used keepass for years now, may be decade now and I feel its outdated. Online safes are offering good features, that is why I am looking for premium version. I will try Bitwarden before making purchase now

Thanks, just registered for Bitwarden, will give it a go. It seems cheaper as well, $10 yearly.
Did you mean I should use PayPal but use bank conversion charges and not PayPal's?

Yes, at the time of payment Paypal give two options for currency conversion opt for bank's conversion for cheaper rate
