Apple Users: Patreon App Payment News (Patreon)

Attention all you PatreAnts! We have an important message for a group of subscribers! If you answer YES to the questions below, then this message is directed to you. To everyone else, take it as a preemptive measure.

Do you...

• Have an Apple iPhone or iPad?

• Do you use the Patreon App?

• Is your current payment method set up through the app?

What does that specifically mean...?

Do you have your billing information in the app and use the app to charge your CC, or other payment method each month, and you've never logged in through a web browser to pay for the platform?

Did you answer yes to all of those questions? Starting this November, Apple will charge all Patreon subscribers who pay for Patreon through the Patreon app/app store an extra 30%, which, with all fees said and done, is actually 43%.

So if you're in our $10 tier and you pay through the Patreon App/App Store your new mo. price will be $14.50.

To avoid new fees, we suggest changing how you pay for your subscription. Pay through a web browser. Open up a web browser like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox and login to Patreon through that browser, and set up payment there.

I'm sure this can be confusing to some. If you need any more information or assistance I will do the best I can to help you out. You can reach me at, Help@TellemSteveDave.com

My sub is paid through PayPal each month - am I good?

Ernie Martinez

Yeah good to know since I’m a atom 🐜

Geoffrey Locke

ONLY the $10 tier or all tiers will see the same 45% increase?

Robert I.

I'm an Apple Ant, but I am hooked up and billed through PayPal. Thanks for the heads up ... I should check my other in-app subscriptions though...

Niek Janman

Good psa, thanks. The same applies to paying in many apps on Apple product. Always check if there’s a (browser based) cheaper alternative.

James

Thanks for the heads up. I will be changing this ASAP.

Paul Rogers

Yet another reason I'm glad I'm an android user

No, it would likely impact any tier. Essentially Apple adds fees to any purchases made through their marketplace. So if you pay for a subscription to a service through Apple (not just Patreon), Apple wants a piece of that. This can extend to things like buying premium currency in games.

I'm using an android but I pay through the Patreon app. Do I still need to change to paying through a browser?

Zackery Parkerson

I thought the new fees only applied to new subscribers across the platform.

Geoffrey Locke

Thanks for the heads up. I switched using my Mac desktop… thanks for the extra work Apple.

Wesley W. West

I believe that it’s only for new subscribers. Any existing subscriptions will not be affected, but still very kind of you to let us know because I had no idea about the change.

Jason Ramswick

This is why Walt is the best! He is always looking out for his listener community. Thank you walt for the heads up!

Either way, I think they want to FU to Apple in general and get everyone to circumvent their shenanigans. Too bad the boys don’t have that direct line to Bezos anymore like they did w Zune Overkill or they could have him call up his buddy Zuck to fix this 😂

I’m not seeing a payment. method in the app—am I in the clear?

I hit up our Patreon contact with two of the most asked questions: If a member subscribed to your page in June 2024, for example, in the Patreon iOS app, their future subscription payments will not incur the App Store fee. The App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app starting on November 4, 2024. Also, since Apple will be processing all transactions in the iOS app, new members who use PayPal within the app will also be subject to the fee. If you have any more questions hit me up at help@tellemstevedave.com //Tommy

Just became a bullet ant through debit card. Thanks !

Isaac

Even a few years ago when I joined I noticed apples fees were more expensive through the app than directly from patreon. So have had my payment through them since then. All your subscriptions should be directly through whatever company you’re dealing with. Middle men like apple always want a cut. Hope most see this and switch. As an atom ant that’s absurd what Apple would tack on. Fuck that

Look at your subscriptions in apple general settings page. If it shows patreon then yeah. Because you’re going through a middle man. If it’s not in your apple subscriptions then you’re good

Trey Smith

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve noticed Apple does this with YouTube Premium subscriptions as well and I had to switch to paying for that directly from the website to avoid paying so much extra.
