If your circle representative is located outside of Japan or Taiwan, we will send money to your designated email address using Smartcat (a service that allows you to send money via e-mail).
You can withdraw money from your Smartcat account via PayPal or other financial institutions in other countries.
You will need to register as a Smartcat member in order to complete the withdrawal procedure.
In Taiwan, you can also choose a local bank transfer service in the Taiwan region.
If you live outside of Japan, your first remittance from DLsite will occur two months after sales.
If the payment value is less than 30,000 JPY, payment will be made two months after the month sales valued at least 30,000 JPY.
