  1. Clearance: the wait after completion

    Most platforms hold earnings for a period after an order completes, to cover refunds and chargebacks. Fiverr holds them 14 days; some platforms pay instantly to an account you connect.

  2. Methods: where the money can go

    PayPal, Payoneer, bank transfer and sometimes crypto. Availability depends on your country, so check before you rely on one.

  3. Fees and minimums

    Withdrawal fees and minimum amounts differ by method. A small fee on each withdrawal adds up if you withdraw often.

  4. Currency

    If you are paid in US dollars and spend in another currency, your provider's conversion rate is part of the cost.
