Earning money on pop.store is straightforward, but understanding how and when you can withdraw your funds ensures you get paid smoothly and without unnecessary delays. Pop.store Payments, powered by Stripe, securely processes your earnings and deposits them into your linked bank account. Once a payout is initiated, Stripe typically processes it within 1-5 business days. This guide covers how to withdraw your earnings, payout processing times, potential issues, and important details about your payments.
How to Withdraw Your Earnings
Before withdrawing money, make sure your pop.store payments account is fully set up and verified. If your account isn’t connected yet, follow the steps in Setting Up Your Pop.store Payments Account to complete the process.
Steps to Withdraw Money
- From your profile section, select the My Account, located at the top right corner.
- Select Withdraw Money (if it is enabled).
- Your payout will be processed based on Stripe’s standard processing times, and funds will be deposited into your linked bank account.
Note: If your pop.store Payments account is not connected, the Withdraw Money button will be disabled until setup is complete.
Payout Processing Time and Frequency
Once your withdrawal request is submitted, Stripe processes your funds according to specific payout timelines. The time it takes for your money to arrive depends on the type of earnings and your account status.
Payout Timeline for Different Earnings
Earnings Type | When Funds Become Available | Stripe Processing Time |
Subscriptions | For monthly subscriptions, earnings become available 7 days after each payment. However, if a subscriber pays for multiple months upfront (e.g., a 6-month or 12-month plan), your earnings are released each month rather than all at once. | 1-5 business days to your bank |
Digital Product Sales | 7-day rolling basis after a purchase | 1-5 business days |
Physical Product Sales | 30 days after the transaction | 1-5 business days |
First Payout Delay: If you are withdrawing money for the first time, there is a 15-day waiting period before you can request a payout. This delay is a one-time security measure to prevent fraud and ensure all transactions are legitimate. Once completed, all future withdrawals will follow the regular payout schedule.
Note: After your first withdrawal, you can request payouts from your Payable Earnings balance at any time.
