How do creators get paid and withdraw their earnings?

Each generation a brand runs against your photo set credits your **payout balance** at the creator-pool price you set (split with any co-authors). This balance is separate from the spendable generation credits on your own plan — see *Earnings vs plan credits*. Because 1 credit = $0.01, 1,000 credits earned equals $10 in payout balance. To withdraw, open the **Earnings** tab in the Creators dashboard and click **Withdraw money** — that opens a request to the Apiway team, who review your request and contact you by email to arrange payout to PayPal, bank transfer, or another method you confirm. Withdrawals are currently manual to keep early payouts safe; automated payout providers are on the roadmap.
