# Step 5. Earnings & Withdrawal

{% hint style="success" %}
This guide explains how you earn H‑Points and withdraw them to PayPal.
{% endhint %}

### Before you start

* You completed at least one event.
* Your PayPal account is set in your profile. See [\[Creator\] Managing Your Profile](/reference/creator-managing-your-profile.md).

### What you will do

1. Check your H‑Points balance.
2. Review transaction history.
3. Request a withdrawal.
4. Track withdrawal status.

### How H‑Points work

H‑Points are your reward balance.

You can view balance and history in **Wallet**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Reward timing depends on the event rules.

Some events credit after submission.

Some events require brand review first.
{% endhint %}

### Steps

#### 1) Open Wallet

Open **Wallet** to see:

* **Available balance** (withdrawable)
* **Total earned**
* **Total withdrawn**

#### 2) Review transaction history

Filter by:

* **All**
* **Earned**
* **Withdrawn**
* **Bonus**
* **Refund**

Each item shows description, date, and amount.

#### 3) Withdraw H‑Points

1. Open **Wallet**.
2. Click **Withdraw**.
3. Confirm your PayPal account.
4. Review the fee breakdown.
5. Confirm.

{% hint style="info" %}
A processing fee applies.

Minimum withdrawal amount is shown on the withdraw screen.
{% endhint %}

#### 4) Check withdrawal status

* **Pending Review**: processing
* **Completed**: sent to your PayPal
* **Failed**: contact support
* **Cancelled**: withdrawal cancelled

### Expected result

Your withdrawal shows **Completed**.

Funds appear in your PayPal account.

### Troubleshooting

* **Withdraw button is disabled**: check the minimum amount shown on the screen.
* **Withdrawal failed**: confirm your PayPal info in your profile, then try again.
* **H‑Points not credited yet**: re-check the event timeline and rules.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.hypercape.com/creator-guide/step-5.-earnings-and-withdrawal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
