No Changes to Billing at this Time (Apple)

Added 2024-10-09 21:39:01 +0000 UTC

So Apple/iOS is requiring Patreon to make some changes to their billing/subscription model so that Patreon can still be available on their platform. But I am deferring that change on my Patreon until Nov. 2025, so a year from now. This does not affect anyone paying through Patreon directly. I actually have no idea what percentage of you folks this will affect, could be a really minor thing. Regardless, here is some info that Patreon sent me regarding it below:

As we announced in August, Apple is requiring Patreon to move over to Apple's in-app purchase system in order for the Patreon app to remain available in the App Store. Apple's in-app purchase system only supports Patreon's subscription billing model, so all creators are required to eventually switch to that billing model.

‌You're currently on a first-of-the-month billing model, which means that Apple does not support your billing model and you need to switch to subscription billing.

‌We know this is a big change, so we want you to have control over when you make the switch.

You must take action before November 1, 2024 if you want to delay switching to subscription billing until November 2025. If you delay, you can always change your mind and switch any time before November 2025.
If you don't take any action, you will automatically switch to subscription billing in November 2024.

To delay your switch, update your settings by November 1, 2024.
