Step-by-Step: How to Receive Your Online Consultation Payments Fast in Rupees
From €197 International Payment to ₹18,500 in Your Bank Account—In Just 30 Minutes
Dr. Priya Sharma, a nutritionist from Delhi, still remembers her first international client payment through StrongBody AI. A wellness coaching client from London paid €197 for a comprehensive health plan. Within 30 minutes, she had withdrawn the equivalent amount in rupees directly to her Indian bank account—minus just a 5% platform fee. No complicated currency conversions, no delays, no hidden charges. Just fast, secure money in her account.
“I used to worry about international payments,” Dr. Priya recalls. “Wire transfers took 5-7 days, PayPal had restrictions for Indian medical professionals, and I lost significant amounts to conversion fees. StrongBody AI changed everything. Now I focus on serving patients, and the money just flows seamlessly.”
If you’re a healthcare professional in India offering online consultations to global clients, payment collection might seem daunting. Different currencies, international banking regulations, tax implications, payment security—it’s enough to make anyone hesitate. But what if receiving international payments could be as simple as receiving a domestic UPI transfer?
That’s exactly what StrongBody AI delivers. Let’s walk through exactly how the payment system works, why it’s the most secure option available, and how you can start receiving payments in rupees within minutes of completing a consultation.
Understanding the StrongBody AI Payment Ecosystem
Before diving into the step-by-step process, it’s important to understand the foundation that makes these lightning-fast, secure payments possible. StrongBody AI isn’t just another marketplace—it’s a globally integrated healthcare platform built on enterprise-grade financial infrastructure.
The Global Reach: StrongBody AI connects healthcare professionals like you with millions of users across 46 major countries, particularly in high-income markets like the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and the Middle East. These are markets where healthcare spending is substantial and patients actively seek quality consultation from experienced international experts.
The Platform Advantage: Unlike informal consultation arrangements where you have to chase payments, negotiate currency conversions, or worry about chargebacks, StrongBody AI handles the entire payment lifecycle. When a patient books your service or accepts your offer, payment is secured before the consultation even begins. You’re never in the position of providing advice without knowing if you’ll be paid.
The Multi-Currency Reality: Your clients might pay in US dollars, British pounds, euros, Canadian dollars, or any of 50+ supported currencies. But you don’t need separate bank accounts in each country or expensive forex services. The platform handles all currency conversions automatically at competitive exchange rates, and you always see exactly what you’ll receive in rupees.
Why Stripe Integration Changes Everything
At the heart of StrongBody AI’s payment system is integration with Stripe, the world’s most trusted payment processing platform. This isn’t just a technical detail—it’s the reason you can accept international payments with the same confidence as receiving a local bank transfer.
What Is Stripe?
Stripe is a financial technology company that powers payments for millions of businesses worldwide, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Companies like Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Zoom rely on Stripe. When your patients pay through StrongBody AI, they’re using the same enterprise-grade infrastructure that processes billions of dollars in transactions annually.
Bank-Level Security Standards
Here’s what makes Stripe integration crucial for you as a healthcare professional: Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of security certification in the payment industry. This means:
Zero Data Storage Risk: StrongBody AI does not store any patient credit card information on its servers. When a patient enters their card details, that information goes directly to Stripe’s secure vault. Even if someone were to breach StrongBody AI’s servers (extremely unlikely given security protocols), they would find zero payment card data. This protects both your patients and you from data breach liability.
Tokenization Technology: Instead of storing actual card numbers, Stripe creates unique tokens for each card. These tokens are useless to hackers but allow legitimate transactions to process smoothly. It’s like having a secure key that only works for authorized transactions.
OTP Authentication for Every Transaction: Every single payment processed through StrongBody AI triggers OTP (One-Time Password) verification through the patient’s bank. This two-factor authentication ensures that even if someone stole card details, they couldn’t make unauthorized payments without access to the cardholder’s phone or email. This is the same security protocol used by major banks worldwide.
Fraud Detection and Prevention: Stripe’s machine learning algorithms analyze millions of data points for every transaction, flagging suspicious patterns in real-time. This protects you from fraudulent bookings and chargebacks—a major concern for service providers accepting international payments.
Direct Bank Integration: When a payment is made, Stripe connects directly with the issuing bank (the patient’s bank) to authorize and process the transaction. There are no intermediaries, no third-party payment processors adding delays or risk. This direct integration is why payments settle so quickly.
Regulatory Compliance Across Borders: Stripe maintains compliance with financial regulations in all 46 countries where StrongBody AI operates. This means when a patient in Germany pays you, the transaction complies with German banking laws. When a US patient pays, it complies with US regulations. You don’t need to understand the financial regulations of every country—Stripe handles it.
Dispute Resolution Protection: In the rare event of a payment dispute, Stripe provides detailed transaction records, timestamps, and authentication logs. This documentation is crucial if a patient questions a charge. You have enterprise-level protection without enterprise-level complexity.
For the Patient: Convenience and Trust
From your patient’s perspective, Stripe integration means:
One-Time Card Entry: After entering their card details once, patients never need to enter them again for future consultations with you or other providers on StrongBody AI. The system securely stores tokenized card information in Stripe’s vault, making checkout instantaneous for repeat bookings.
Familiar Payment Experience: Stripe powers payment systems patients already trust. The checkout process feels professional and secure, similar to booking on major platforms like Airbnb or purchasing from reputable e-commerce sites.
Multiple Payment Methods: Beyond credit and debit cards, Stripe supports digital wallets, bank transfers, and local payment methods specific to each country. A patient in the Netherlands might use iDEAL, while a UK patient uses direct debit—all processed seamlessly.
Transparent Pricing: Patients see the exact amount they’ll be charged in their local currency before confirming payment. There are no surprise conversion fees or hidden charges—what they see is what they pay.
Instant Payment Confirmation: The moment payment processes, both you and the patient receive confirmation. The patient gets a detailed receipt via email, and you see the payment reflected in your StrongBody AI wallet immediately.
Your StrongBody AI Wallet: The Central Hub
Every payment from every patient lands in your StrongBody AI wallet. Think of this as your professional payment account within the platform—completely separate from your personal banking, but connected when you need to withdraw funds.
Real-Time Balance Updates: Your wallet balance updates instantly when payments are received. Check it anytime from your dashboard to see exactly how much you’ve earned.
Multi-Currency Visibility: While your withdrawal will be in rupees, your wallet shows the original currency amounts and conversion rates for transparency. You always know exactly where your earnings came from.
Transaction History: Every payment is recorded with complete details: patient name (anonymized for privacy), service provided, amount paid, date and time, and transaction ID. This creates a comprehensive income record for your accounting and tax purposes.
Automatic Fee Calculation: StrongBody AI charges a 5% platform fee on each transaction. This fee covers payment processing, platform maintenance, customer support, AI matching services, and promotional features. The fee is automatically deducted, and you always see your net earnings clearly displayed.
Withdrawal Eligibility Tracking: The system shows you exactly when you’re eligible to withdraw funds. Once you reach the minimum withdrawal threshold, a clear “Withdraw” button appears.
Step-by-Step: From Consultation to Rupees in Your Bank
Now let’s walk through the complete process, from the moment a patient books your service to when rupees land in your Indian bank account.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Payment Profile (One-Time Setup)
Before receiving your first payment, you need to complete your payment profile. This is a one-time process that takes about 10 minutes.
A. Log Into Your StrongBody AI Account Access your professional dashboard at strongbody.ai/login
B. Navigate to Payment Settings Go to Account Settings → Payment Information
C. Provide Your Indian Bank Details
You’ll need to enter:
- Full name (exactly as it appears on your bank account)
- Bank account number
- IFSC code (the 11-character code identifying your bank branch)
- Bank name and branch address
- Account type (Savings or Current)
- PAN (Permanent Account Number) for tax compliance
Why This Information Is Needed: These details ensure that when you request a withdrawal, funds can be transferred directly to your verified Indian bank account. StrongBody AI uses secure encryption to protect this sensitive information.
D. Verify Your Identity
For compliance with financial regulations and to prevent fraud, you’ll need to upload:
- A government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport)
- Your medical registration certificate
- A cancelled cheque or bank statement showing your account details
This verification typically processes within 24 hours. Once verified, you’re ready to receive unlimited payments.
Step 2: Patient Books Your Service
A. Patient Discovers Your Profile
Through StrongBody AI’s search, AI matching system, your blog content, or your Active Message outreach, a potential patient finds your services.
B. Patient Reviews Your Offering
They see your service description, pricing, credentials, reviews from other patients, and available time slots.
C. Patient Clicks “Book Now” or Accepts Your Offer
This triggers the secure payment flow.
Step 3: Secure Payment Processing (Happens Automatically)
This is where Stripe’s power becomes evident. The entire process takes just seconds:
Patient Enters Payment Information
The patient is directed to a secure Stripe checkout page. If they’ve used StrongBody AI before, their saved payment method appears instantly. New patients enter their card details or select their preferred payment method.
OTP Verification
The patient receives a one-time password from their bank (via SMS or banking app) and enters it to confirm the transaction. This two-factor authentication ensures the person making the payment is the legitimate cardholder.
Real-Time Authorization
Stripe communicates directly with the patient’s bank to authorize the charge. This happens in 1-3 seconds.
Payment Confirmation
Once authorized, both you and the patient receive instant confirmation:
- The patient receives a detailed receipt via email
- Your StrongBody AI wallet balance increases immediately
- You receive a notification: “Payment received from [Patient Name] for [Service Name]: €197”
Funds Are Secured
The payment is held securely in your StrongBody AI wallet. Even if the patient changes their mind about the consultation, the payment processing is complete. (Refund policies are clearly stated in your service terms.)
Deliver Your Consultation
Now that payment is secured, you can focus entirely on providing excellent care:
Receive Consultation Details
Access the patient’s pre-consultation questionnaire, medical history (if provided), and specific concerns.
Conduct the Consultation
Whether via video, audio, or asynchronous messaging, deliver your expert guidance without worrying about payment collection.
Provide Follow-Up Materials
Send prescriptions (for Indian patients within guidelines), wellness plans, diet charts, exercise protocols, or educational resources.
Request Review
After successful consultations, politely request that satisfied patients leave a review. Positive reviews dramatically increase your booking rate for future clients.
Step 5: Accumulate Earnings in Your Wallet
As you complete more consultations, your wallet balance grows:
- Monday: €197 consultation → ₹18,500 (approximate) added to wallet
- Wednesday: €97 follow-up → ₹9,100 added to wallet
- Friday: €297 comprehensive plan → ₹27,900 added to wallet
- Weekly total: ₹55,500 in wallet (after 5% platform fee)
Your dashboard shows both individual transactions and cumulative balance, giving you complete financial visibility.
Step 6: Withdraw Funds to Your Bank Account
Once you’ve accumulated earnings and met the minimum withdrawal threshold (typically around ₹5,000-10,000, check current platform requirements), you can withdraw:
Go to Wallet Section
Navigate to Dashboard → My Wallet
Click “Withdraw Funds”
A withdrawal form appears showing:
- Available balance
- Platform fee already deducted
- Estimated amount you’ll receive in rupees
- Your verified bank account details
Enter Withdrawal Amount
You can withdraw your entire available balance or specify a partial amount. Some providers prefer weekly withdrawals, while others accumulate larger amounts for monthly transfers.
Confirm Currency Conversion
The system shows you the exact exchange rate being applied and the final rupee amount that will be transferred to your bank. Conversion rates are updated in real-time and are typically very competitive with or better than traditional bank rates.
Submit Withdrawal Request
Click “Confirm Withdrawal” and authenticate using your account password or OTP.
Processing Notification
You receive confirmation: “Withdrawal request submitted. Funds will reach your bank account within 30 minutes.”
Money Arrives in Your Bank Account
The 30-Minute Promise
Within 30 minutes of confirming your withdrawal, the rupee equivalent appears in your Indian bank account. This is dramatically faster than:
- International wire transfers (5-7 business days)
- PayPal transfers to Indian banks (3-5 days)
- Traditional forex conversions (2-4 days)
Why So Fast?
Stripe maintains rupee liquidity in India through partnerships with local banks. When you withdraw, you’re not waiting for international funds to clear multiple banking systems. Instead, you’re receiving rupees from Stripe’s Indian accounts, which were already converted and held locally. This pre-positioning of currency is what enables the 30-minute transfer.
Bank Notification
You receive an SMS and email from your bank confirming the deposit, showing the source as “StrongBody AI” or “Stripe Payout.”
Immediate Access
Unlike some platforms that hold funds for days “for security,” once money hits your bank account, it’s yours immediately. Pay bills, transfer to family, invest, or save—there are no restrictions.
Tax Considerations for Indian Healthcare Professionals
Receiving international payments has tax implications you should understand:
Income Tax Reporting
All income earned through StrongBody AI must be reported in your Indian tax returns as professional income. The platform provides detailed transaction reports that make tax filing straightforward.
GST Implications
If your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for some states), you need to register for GST. Export of services (international consultations) may be zero-rated, but consult with a chartered accountant for your specific situation.
TDS Considerations
Currently, platform payments typically don’t have TDS deducted at source, but regulations evolve. Maintain good records of all earnings.
Professional Record-Keeping
Download your monthly transaction reports from StrongBody AI. These serve as evidence of income and are invaluable during tax season or in case of any IT department queries.
Consult a Tax Professional
International income can be complex. Invest in a good chartered accountant who understands foreign remittances and professional service exports. The cost of professional tax advice is far lower than the cost of tax penalties..
Maximizing Your Earnings: Strategic Payment Tips
Price in Stable Currencies
Consider pricing your services in euros or US dollars rather than rupees. High-income international clients think in their local currency, and stable pricing builds trust. You’ll also avoid currency fluctuation discussions.
Bundle Services for Higher Transaction Values
Instead of offering only single consultations:
- Create package deals (3-month follow-up program)
- Combine consultation + meal plan + ongoing support
- Offer premium tiers with faster response times
Higher transaction values mean better income relative to the flat 5% fee.
Weekly Withdrawal Strategy
While you can withdraw anytime, consider a regular schedule:
- Weekly withdrawals for consistent cash flow
- Monthly withdrawals if you don’t need immediate access (lets earnings accumulate)
- Strategic timing around favorable exchange rates if you’re watching currency markets
Maintain Professional Standards
The best way to ensure smooth payments is to deliver exceptional service. Satisfied patients:
- Don’t request refunds
- Leave positive reviews that attract more patients
- Book follow-up consultations
- Refer other patients to you
Quality care is the foundation of sustainable payment flow.
Security Best Practices for Your Financial Safety
Protect Your Login Credentials
Your StrongBody AI account is the gateway to your earnings. Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication if available.
Verify Withdrawal Confirmations
Always check that withdrawal confirmations come from official StrongBody AI emails. Phishing attempts may mimic platform messages.
Monitor Your Wallet Regularly
Log in weekly to review transactions. If you see any unfamiliar activity, report it immediately to support.
Keep Bank Details Updated
If you change banks or account numbers, update your payment profile immediately. Failed transfers due to outdated information can delay your payments.
Secure Your Email Account
Since important payment notifications come via email, ensure your email account has strong security. A compromised email could give attackers access to sensitive financial information.

Real Success Stories: Indian Professionals Earning in Rupees
Dr. Amit Patel, Endocrinologist, Mumbai Monthly Earnings: ₹2.8 lakhs
“I was skeptical about international payments. I’d heard horror stories about frozen accounts and lost money. StrongBody AI changed my perspective completely. I now serve 40-50 international patients monthly, mostly managing diabetes and thyroid conditions through online consultations. Every Friday, I withdraw the week’s earnings, and by Friday evening, the money’s in my account. It’s more reliable than some of my local patients who sometimes delay payments!”

I promote my services worry-free, knowing that when patients pay, the transaction is bulletproof secure. I’ve never had a payment issue in 14 months on the platform.”
Dr. Vikram Singh, Sports Medicine Specialist, Bangalore Monthly Earnings: ₹4.2 lakhs
“The 30-minute withdrawal isn’t marketing hype—it’s real. I tested it the first time by requesting a withdrawal at 2 PM and watching my bank account. At 2:26 PM, the money arrived. Twenty-six minutes. From a patient in Canada paying in Canadian dollars to rupees in my Bangalore bank account. That’s when I knew this platform was different.”
Conclusion: Your Fast-Track to Global Healthcare Income
The complexity of international payments has historically kept many talented Indian healthcare professionals from accessing the global market.

The global healthcare market is worth trillions of dollars. Millions of patients in high-income countries actively seek quality, affordable healthcare expertise. They’re willing to pay premium prices for the knowledge you’ve spent years developing.
