Howdy everyone!

I have an announcement specifically for the Apple Patreon users.

I have literally just been made aware of this, but Apple is adding a surplus fee to users that pay for Patreon THROUGH the app https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon 

This impacts all users that set up their subscriptions via the Patreon Apple App Store app (not just if you purchase the subscription via Apple Pay).

If you go to the website, you'll notice there is no change in the price.

My recommendation for those looking to avoid this fee… ( cause why would you wanna pay extra when you dont need to haha ) Is to access the Patreon via the website, (the link is attached) and resubscribe using the webpage or a browser, NOT THE APPLE APP!

Accessing content using the app still works fine, but if your subscription is made on the app, it will add the additional fee.

Just to clarify, I promise this is not me raising the price of the membership. This is an avoidable FEE that goes to APPLE. If there were ever any changes to the membership prices on my side, there would be announcements and explanations, and it wouldn't be done silently..

 I hope this clears up any confusion and of course if you have any questions please feel free to comment or reach out in discord!

Annie

in order to resubscribe do we have to cancel our membership?

ToniRenea

Thank you for writing this for me stinkee ily

Kamahri Brite

Can anyone help me? It won’t let me resub on the website only on the app

Stinkee

Also FYI, You have to wait till your subscription is about to expire, cancel it, THEN resub on the website.

ToniRenea

I think the best thing to do is wait until your subscription is about to expire, then cancel it, and then resub so you don’t have to end up paying twice!

Nin

Tysm for telling us😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

aazz

thank you for the info <3

sentientsock

literally i have a running joke with my friends about those stupid mystery apple payments

Vivian

before i canceled my subscription, it showed me cheaper price on the website than in the app, but after i canceled, the price went up and now is the same as in the app :/ does anyone know how much is it without the fee?

binarytrimble

I would still be able to use the app tho, right?

Vic

I don’t understand, i tried to avoid it by paying on the web page for another patreon and the price was the same as before with the same fee What am i doing wrong ? Or is it another fee ?

Lindsay

Do you know if they’re doing this for every creator?

Elisa

Ur amazing tysm toni!! 💖 How much extra is the fee🫠

Cy

I use Venmo for the platform; would that impact does it have the same effects?

River

Apple sucks 😒

Alexyra

I love how every time in the past where I publicl, said how bad apple is, that sworn users defend that capitalistic company who doesnt care about low-lifes wih literally their life. And yet we see pretty much every day hard evidence on how bad they are. They still buy overprieced hard and software just to pay ever more on ADDITIONAL apps like Patreon THAT THEY DONT EVEN OWN

Alexyra

Web page... Via an apple device? I recommend a non-apple device to avoid apples fee. (I cant tell if you have one, I dont want to insult you if it sounds like that)

Alexyra

Its 3$ and 10$

Alexyra

Wait until it expires so you dont pay twice. Even if you dont have the sub for 1-2 days because you missed the date, it will unlock everything again, which is better then paying twice

Ry

I assumed it was just currency exchange rates lmao I didn’t realise this whole time 😭 thank uu

Vic

I’m asking so i do have an apple device, it’s the only brand my family uses ^^’

Orthega

Same here!! Even on my (non apple) pc

Orthega

When I click on subscription I see 3.50 + 0.10 for TVA (which I think was the right price from the start) but then I read that I'll pay 4.20 EACH MONTH just bellow the payement - for context I'm on a non-apple pc and idk what I'm doing wrong

Vivian

thank u

Stinkee

Yes, just if you set up the subscription on an Apple device it will charge their market fee

Elisa

I just realized- i have my patreon on my cashapp card and it doesnt ever have money in it😭😂 so ill probably find o it when it bounces back eventually

Jazz_The_Writer

I love you for this lol I will check when I get back home 🩷

Nessa

y’all paying through paypal is way easier tooo

Selin

I personally feel like the content has been little lately, esp to non discord members :/

LB!

Yeah this affects a lot of other apps too just so everyone knows. Amazon, of all companies, doesn’t even allow ebook purchases in-app to avoid the fee.

Star

Toni your so awesome don’t go bald

Ximeswoosh

I also pay 4,20 each month w the VAT (or TVA)

pookiespookiee

i agree especially since the last post was a month ago! i know toni is busy and is probably doing the best she can but it feels like i paid a month for "nothing" it’s a little frustrating but understandable! but i personally don’t know if it’s worth it for me anymore

Lily

From what I know in the discord she’s been working on upcoming chapters!! Buuuutttt something I've heard in the discord we might be getting a late easter comic🙂‍↕️

Hey Tonirenea, me and my friend want to write a story, we really love Osora and we were wondering if could use the trans prince that falls in love with his best friend, and how it’s illegal and stuff, just without the Sergos and a completely different story line. It probably won’t be published but we want to know its its alright with you before we proceed.

Hi , want to know , with which credit card, it is possible to pay for people who lives in Moscow

G

Ah, that’s why!? I always find that so annoying… now it’ll feel like sticking it to the man instead. Thank you.

rachelle rojas
