PSA - please use Patreon website vs App
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 18:10:46 +0000 UTCHello guys! So with the recent changes to the Patreon App and Apple Store, not only are they not taking an additional 30% fee from us creators on top of the high platform cost Patreon charges, but they are also WITHHOLDING the funds from app purchases/subscriptions from creator for 75 days. That’s 2.5 months your subscription sits in a creator’s payout balance with them being unable to access it.
So, if you guys can, please make sure you are using the Patreon website instead of the app to make purchases/subscribe to new creators! I’m thankful I’m in a good financial spot at the moment, but it’s ridiculous how we have no say over our payouts and gettting unfairly charged additional fees :/

Just signing up! You can still use the app

Out of curiosity, is it JUST signing up that needs to be done over the web, or does using the app also mess you up with regards to just looking at stuff? Because I signed up last night, but my phone reeeeaaaaallly doesn't like running the website(￣▽￣*)ゞ

I’m so sorry that’s awful! I’ll continue to support you and your amazing work through the website!! 💚
Rotaniah

FYI for those who cannot use it on pc, Patreon's mobile web interface is well done and easy as well, very similar to the app.
Rotaniah
I’m thinking it’s new subs!
Luna Lena
This is just for new subs/purchases, right? So our current sub through Apple won’t be affected unless we change tiers?
TessaWii
It's no problem at all, crazy they're taking so much from you all 😡
Rotaniah
You can! But you do not have to!
Rotaniah
It will in the future, just right now it’s apple

I thought this only affected apple users. Does it affect android now too?

I've always used the app but ok 🙂
TessaWii

For sure! And with how much detail you put into your art, you should be getting properly compensated for the amount of time you put into it. Luckily I need to get into the habit of using my pc more anyhow 🙂↕️
Rotaniah
HAHA it’s okay!
Rotaniah
It’s okay! Thankfully I can wait on the funds but it’s just so discouraging still how a good chuck of my payout is locked for 2.5 months 😭
shmoopy

Kait
