Do I pay PayPal fees when I cash out?

We do not charge fees for cashing out - you’ll receive your full approved balance. However, PayPal may apply fees after the transfer if currency conversion is required.


Can I use an alternative payment method to PayPal?

At present, payments can only be transferred through PayPal unless explicitly advised otherwise. We can’t transfer funds through other methods, including direct bank transfers.


Do my Prolific and PayPal email have to match?

No, these can be separate email addresses. However, your PayPal details must match the full name and country of residence listed on your Prolific account.


Can I share a PayPal account with another Prolific user?

No, each Prolific account must have its own unique PayPal address. Your PayPal account must be in your name only and can’t be connected to any other Prolific account.

If your PayPal address is already linked to an inactive Prolific account and you can't link it to your new account, please contact support using the link at the bottom of this article.
