Apple will take 30% of your membership payment done on IOS, so PLEASE, if you’re joining or renewing, do it on the web or Android. I don’t want to have to raise the tier price because of it. Thank you!!

I hate that I am used to iPhones and that my entire family has them. I love most of their products minus MacBooks. Pc all the way. But man, as a company they are the worst. My husband is an Android user and engineer and abhors them 🥲 the only silver lining is that this won’t affect me personally

2024-08-17 09:03:22 +0000 UTCWhile looking through my transaction history I realized how those in Europe would have to pay a total of about 50% in fees lmao assuming Patreon does something to allow creators to charge iOS users more. 30% from Apple (if they use it) + around 20% VAT. That's insane 😭

2024-08-13 22:41:14 +0000 UTCSo would I have to get rid of app on my apple device and then resub thru the website instead? I am honestly so confused :,) all I know I pay with paypal

2024-08-13 22:40:04 +0000 UTCYes. Apparently, that 30% is called an app fee, so anything that goes through the app, they deduct it.

2024-08-13 22:17:31 +0000 UTCIf I pay through paypal on the app does that count?

2024-08-13 22:13:31 +0000 UTCI've never been so glad to not have Apple. Thank you for keeping your people informed!

2024-08-12 18:10:19 +0000 UTCI do hope there will be an uproar about this, I'm shocked this was even allowed at all, doesn't feel legal at all 💀

2024-08-12 17:45:32 +0000 UTCI was seriously shocked about them taking 30%—that’s basically like paying taxes, lol. And besides that, Patreon has put more restrictions on what we can offer for NSFW content.

2024-08-12 17:37:57 +0000 UTCI knew Apple was greedy but this is a new level of low. Based on what you said, this can be easily bypassed paying via web but still a nasty move. Artists are already struggling on patreon, this change will definitely screw over some of them since I'm sure some will have to raise their prices which consequently will scare patrons away 😔 ig for bigger accounts it's not as bad, but smaller ones are gonna suffer

2024-08-12 17:34:42 +0000 UTCYep!

2024-08-12 17:33:32 +0000 UTCSo if my credit card is on the patreon app and not spple store its okay?

2024-08-12 17:22:51 +0000 UTCI believe existing autopay will not be affected, probably only those who stopped and decided to subscribe again.

2024-08-12 17:20:09 +0000 UTCHow do we change it? I’m doing autopay thru the ios app with my apple card 😅
