# How to get paid: to your PayPal account or bank account through Stripe

The Earnings page shows everything your books have earned, split into withdrawn, on its way, available now and clearing, with charts by month, format and channel, and what each book earned in Sales by book. To withdraw, set up payouts once: choose your country, pick PayPal and enter your PayPal email. You can add a bank account with Stripe at any time.

## Steps

1. Open Earnings, under Money in your dashboard menu.
2. Check Total earned and the four tiles: Withdrawn, On its way, Available now and Clearing.
3. Scroll down for your earnings each month, sales by format and channel, the date each recent sale becomes yours, and Sales by book.
4. Click Set up payouts, choose your country and click Continue.
5. Pick PayPal, click Continue with PayPal, enter your PayPal email and click Save PayPal email.
6. Back on Earnings, click Withdraw when you're ready. To be paid to your bank instead, click Add next to Bank account to set up Stripe.

See what your books earn each month, when it's yours, and how to get it to your PayPal account or your bank account through Stripe. To start, open Earnings, under Money in your dashboard menu. At the top is everything you've earned so far, across all your books and formats. Four tiles split your total: withdrawn, on its way, available now and clearing. A new sale starts in Clearing, with the next date money clears. Then it's Available now, ready to withdraw. This chart shows what your books earned each month, so you can see the busy months and the quiet ones, with your best month underneath. Beside it, see which formats and channels readers choose: digital or print, PubliRead or your own website. This list shows when each recent sale becomes yours to withdraw. Sales by book lists each of your books, with copies sold and what each one earned. Underneath, see each book's sales by format and channel, and any money still clearing. To withdraw, set up payouts. You only need to do this once. Choose your country, so you only see the ways to get paid that work where you live. PayPal is the quickest way to get paid, with a lighter setup. Pick PayPal, then continue. Enter the email address of your PayPal account, then click Save PayPal email. That's it. You're ready to get paid, and your money goes straight to your PayPal account. Back on Earnings, Payouts shows Active, with your PayPal email at the top. Prefer your bank? Add your bank account through Stripe here at any time. When you're ready, click Withdraw to send your available earnings to PayPal, usually within minutes. Set up payouts once, and withdraw whenever you like.
