Once donations start coming in, you can transfer those funds directly to your bank account or PayPal at any time. Do Donate does not hold your money beyond what is necessary for payment processing — your available balance is yours to withdraw whenever you need it. Setting up your payout method in advance means you can access funds quickly when the time comes.

​
Setting up your payout method

Before you can withdraw funds, you need to connect a verified payout account. Do Donate supports direct bank transfers and PayPal.
1

Go to Campaign Settings

From your campaign dashboard, click Settings to open the campaign settings panel.
2

Open the Payout section

Select Payout from the settings menu to view your payout options.
3

Add your bank account or connect PayPal

Choose your preferred payout method:
  • Bank account — Enter your account holder name, bank name, account number, and routing number (or equivalent details for your country).
  • PayPal — Click Connect PayPal and follow the prompts to link your PayPal account securely.
Once submitted, your payout method will go through a short verification process before it is ready to use.
Ensure your payout account is verified before requesting a withdrawal. Unverified accounts cannot receive funds, and the verification process may take 1–2 business days to complete.

​
Requesting a withdrawal

Once your payout method is verified, you can withdraw your available balance at any time.
1

Go to your campaign dashboard

Open the campaign from which you want to withdraw funds and navigate to the dashboard.
2

Click 'Withdraw'

Click the Withdraw button to open the withdrawal request form. Your current available balance will be displayed here.
3

Choose your withdrawal amount

Enter the amount you’d like to withdraw, up to your available balance. You can withdraw the full amount or a partial amount — the remainder will stay in your campaign balance.
4

Confirm your withdrawal

Review the details, including the destination account and any applicable fees, then click Confirm to submit your request.
Processing times vary depending on your payout method. Bank transfers typically take 3–5 business days to arrive. PayPal transfers are usually faster and may appear within 1 business day.

​
Platform fees

Do Donate charges a small platform fee on each donation to cover the cost of running the service. This fee is automatically deducted from donations before they reach your available balance, so you never need to pay anything upfront. When donors complete a donation, they are also given the option to leave an optional tip to support Do Donate directly. This tip is separate from your campaign funds and does not affect the amount you receive. You can review a breakdown of all fees applied to your campaign under the Transactions section of your campaign dashboard.

​
Withdrawal minimums and limits

To keep payment processing efficient and cost-effective, the following minimums and limits apply to withdrawals:
  • Minimum withdrawal — You must have a minimum available balance before you can request a withdrawal. Check your dashboard for the current minimum threshold in your currency.
  • Maximum per request — There may be a maximum amount you can withdraw in a single request. If your balance exceeds this limit, you can make multiple withdrawal requests.
  • Daily limits — For security purposes, a daily withdrawal cap may apply to your account. Contact support if you need to withdraw a larger amount urgently.
If you have questions about fees or withdrawal limits specific to your account or region, reach out to the Do Donate support team from the Help section of your dashboard.
