Important Update for Apple Users!
Added 2024-11-02 06:45:54 +0000 UTC๐จ Attention Apple enthusiasts! ๐ This message is mostly for potential new members, but if youโre considering leaving and returning later, please read on! ๐
Starting November 2024, Apple will begin enforcing a 30% service fee on payments made through the Patreon app. ๐ฒ๐ธ This fee only affects patrons using an iPhone or iPad for signing up and making payments. Android and desktop users are not impacted. โ
Hereโs the deal: Apple is adding a 30% surcharge on all transactions made via their iOS app, and neither Patreon nor its creators see a dime of this feeโitโs entirely Appleโs take. ๐ Patreon has to include this fee, or the app wonโt be allowed on Appleโs platform.
How to Bypass This Fee? ๐ก Stick to using the Patreon website on a desktop or Android device to handle any payments, rather than using the iOS app. ๐ป๐ค
If youโre looking to upgrade your membership or are thinking of joining as a new patron, make sure to use a desktop or Android device for payment. ๐ฅ๏ธ If you cancel and then re-subscribe using an Apple device, this 30% fee will apply.
The best way to avoid it? Use Patreonโs website on a computer or Android for payments. ๐ฑ๏ธ
Can I Still Use the App on My iPhone or iPad? โ Absolutely! You can still like posts, leave comments, and browse content in the Patreon appโjust avoid making payments there. ๐
Hope this heads-up helps you steer clear of those extra fees. ๐ธ Looking forward to having you on Patreon! ๐

2024-11-02 06:56:42 +0000 UTCIkr? ๐ค Itโs frustrating, especially since that extra 30% just goes to Apple, with no benefit for creators or Patreon. Thatโs why it's worth using the website or an Android device to avoid that fee altogether.
