Hello 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 :/

Are you serious? Fuck patreon. I’m never able to use it on pc but thanks for letting us know

shmoopy

whattt, that is ridiculous! I also can’t use it on pc (my only pc is my work pc and this is definitely not work content!)

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 😭

Kait

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 🙂‍↕️

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

TessaWii

It's no problem at all, crazy they're taking so much from you all 😡

This is just for new subs/purchases, right? So our current sub through Apple won’t be affected unless we change tiers?

TessaWii

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.

It’s okay!! In the end I’m just happy to get supporters! It’s Apple that’s an ass LOL

Hetsuko

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

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
