How Do I Withdraw Money from Fiverr in India?

1. Set Up Your Fiverr Account for Withdrawals

Before you can withdraw your earnings, you’ll need to ensure that your Fiverr account is set up properly. Here’s what you need to do:

• Log in to Fiverr: Start by logging into your Fiverr account.
• Go to “Selling”: On the top menu, you’ll see the “Selling” tab. Hover over it, and select “Earnings” from the dropdown list.
• Payment Settings: Once you’re on the Earnings page, click on the “Payment Settings” option. Here, you’ll be able to choose how you’d like to receive your payments.

This is where you’ll select the withdrawal method you want to use.

2. Choose Your Payment Method

Fiverr offers several options to withdraw your money, each with its own benefits and fees. Let’s go over them one by one:

• PayPal: If you’re used to PayPal, you may think that this is your best option. However, PayPal has been problematic for some users in India in the past. As of now, PayPal withdrawals to Indian bank accounts are supported, but PayPal fees can be high, and there may be additional delays when transferring funds. If you do decide to use PayPal, all you need is to link your PayPal account to Fiverr. After that, you can withdraw your funds by choosing the PayPal option in the payment settings.
  • Fees: PayPal charges a fee of about 2.9% for receiving money internationally, plus an additional fixed fee based on the currency.
• Bank Transfer (Direct Deposit): Fiverr supports direct bank transfers in India via a service called Payoneer. Payoneer is one of the most reliable and widely-used methods for withdrawing money from Fiverr in India. You’ll need to create a Payoneer account, link it to Fiverr, and then transfer the funds to your Indian bank account. Payoneer allows you to withdraw your earnings to your Indian bank account, usually in INR.
  • Fees: Payoneer charges around $1 to withdraw money, plus a currency conversion fee if you’re withdrawing in a currency other than INR. However, Payoneer has competitive exchange rates compared to PayPal.
• Fiverr Revenue Card (Prepaid Debit Card): This option is essentially a prepaid debit card powered by Payoneer. You can withdraw money from your Fiverr account directly to this card, which can be used for online and offline purchases or withdrawn from ATMs. This is a great choice if you want quick access to your funds without going through the hassle of transferring them to your bank account.
  • Fees: There are monthly fees for maintaining the Fiverr Revenue Card, as well as withdrawal fees if you use an ATM. You’ll want to check the specific fees for your country and the card’s features before choosing this option.

3. Initiate the Withdrawal

Once you’ve selected your payment method, here’s what you’ll need to do:

• Go back to your Fiverr Earnings page.
• Select the withdrawal option you want to use (PayPal, Payoneer, or Fiverr Revenue Card).
• Enter the amount you want to withdraw.
• Confirm the transaction. Fiverr will process the withdrawal request, and depending on the method, the funds should be transferred to your account within a few business days.

4. Wait for Funds to Arrive

After you’ve initiated the withdrawal, the waiting time can vary depending on the method you’ve chosen.

Generally, if you’re using PayPal or the Fiverr Revenue Card, you’ll get your funds fairly quickly—within 2–3 business days. If you’re withdrawing via Payoneer, it might take a little longer, around 5–7 business days.

5. Keep Track of Fees

It’s always a good idea to check your Fiverr Earnings page to make sure that the amount you withdrew matches the amount you received after fees.

Some payment methods, like PayPal, will charge you a percentage for receiving the payment, so be sure you’re aware of these deductions.

FAQs

1. Can I withdraw my Fiverr earnings in Indian Rupees?

Yes, you can! If you’re using Payoneer or Fiverr’s Revenue Card, your funds can be withdrawn in INR directly to your Indian bank account.

2. How much does Fiverr charge for withdrawals?

Fiverr doesn’t charge withdrawal fees directly. However, the payment processor (PayPal, Payoneer) may charge you fees depending on the method. Payoneer has lower fees compared to PayPal, so it’s generally a better choice for Indian users.

3. How long does it take to withdraw money from Fiverr to my Indian bank account?

Typically, Payoneer withdrawals to Indian bank accounts take about 3–5 business days. PayPal transfers might be quicker but often come with higher fees.

If you face any issues while withdrawing your earnings from Fiverr, you can contact Fiverr’s customer support for assistance. They’re pretty helpful and should guide you through any problems you encounter.

Conclusion

Withdrawing money from Fiverr in India doesn’t have to be a complicated process. Once you understand the options available to you—PayPal, Payoneer, and Fiverr’s Revenue Card—it’s just a matter of picking the best one for your needs and preferences.

Keep in mind the fees and transfer times to make sure you’re making the right choice for your freelance business.
