Hey, hey, hey

Just wanna give you all a heads up, just in case you are using the Patreon app.

Apparently from here on they charge you an extra 30% if you support someone on Patreon via the app. As creator we do not profit from that at all. It all goes to the App Store.

They claim existing pledges are not affected. But still, stay vigilant to changes in your billing.

I highly recommend to use the Patreon website (browser access) if you wish to pledge to anyone, including me 🥲. It won’t have the extra fees and we get the same support.

If you like the app, you can still use it to check out and browse my art. Just avoid doing any purchases in order to save on paying fees.

Once again, thank you for your support and I hope you keep enjoying my comics 🤗

Does it affect those using PayPal on this app?

Dang Apple really needs that 30% man. Curse you Apple!

If they start charging me fees I’ll need your help since my tier is no longer available the last I knew:)

it depends are you using patreon on an iPhone? If you are and you subbed with the app then probably not 100% sure. If your not sure resub through the browser

30 percent?! Dang, that's too high! Good thing I'm an android user.

Most likely, as long as you use the app to subscribe the fees apply, no matter what payment method. However, it might not affect you since you already have an existing membership. But still keep an eye on it. Worst case, cancel and resubscribe through the browser site :)

And why so much, dang? Wouldn’t 10% be enough? They take more than Patreon, I think 😭

Eeyore

Wow. 30%??? That’s extreme. They can’t be hurting that much for money.

Julius J. Marold

They charge what they think they can get. They know they'll lose some sales but when they do the math, they believe 30% will bring in more than the lost sales.

I don't know how they justify it either, to be frank. I know that fees for online platforms aren't anything new but...30%? I don't think Patreon takes even close to that much from me every month @_@

Jeremy Roberson

Apple always wants their extra percentage.

Thanks for the heads-up, Bea... I just really hope you don't get in trouble from Patreon for posting this info and recommendation. I'm pretty sure they have the means to monitor posts and all that (although it sounds like it's just limited to Apple phone users and might not actually be Patreon's fault...?). Good thing I don't like using my smartphone as a computer except when I have to. I use a regular desktop (iMac) for the majority of my browsing anyway, and that includes Patreon.

I don’t think so. This is not like dodging fees, Patreon gets their share no matter what. And Apple only gathers fees if you purchase through them, which is not an obligation and they can’t force you to either. So we all should be good 🤗
