How do I withdraw my earnings?
All deviants can withdraw earnings from their sales. Two-factor authentication must be enabled to withdraw. To find your earnings and choose how to withdraw them:
- Hover over your avatar on the navigation bar to open the menu.
- Select "Earnings."
Once your funds have cleared the pending stage, you can convert them to Points or withdraw them via PayPal, Stripe, or BitPay. Depending on your withdrawal method of choice, you may incur a payout fee.
If you convert your earnings to Points, you can use them to purchase on DeviantArt, give to deviants’ donation pools, and more.
If you withdraw using PayPal, Stripe, or BitPay, you'll need to meet a minimum earnings amount to withdraw. For PayPal, you’ll also be required to use a PayPal-verified account, and for Stripe, you'll also need to create a Stripe Express account from the Earnings page.
