Important Announcement on Charges from Apple's New Tax In November. (Patreon)

PLEASE READ: (and read lower on how to avoid this and the examples of the options)

"As we first announced last year, Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024.

This has two major consequences for creators:

• Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to anything bought in your Patreon shop.
  

• Any creator currently on first-of-the-month or per-creation billing plans will have to switch over to subscription billing to continue earning in the iOS app, because that’s the only billing type Apple’s in-app purchase system supports.

• Apple now holds funds for 75 days upon transaction, not up to 75, but actually 75 days they hold it for.
  

Before we go any further, we want to be crystal clear about one thing: Apple’s fee will not impact your existing members. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app from November onward.

Here’s everything you need to know to navigate this change in the least disruptive way possible." -Patreon

Solution: Do everything you can to pay through desktop, Android, or even Website of Patreon on Iphone/Ipad if you only have IOS.

You guys should see this as well.

At the moment I have not set anything yet, but was defaulted to this, it is not active yet and will be in November

Doing the solution above will help both of us GREATLY it takes a lot out of me, and charges quite extra for subscribers..

If I use this option where the Subscriber pays the extra tax.

And if I use this option where I use my earnings to cover the extra cost.

So avoiding subscribing through the IOS Patreon app lets BOTH of us avoid this extra cost.
