Patreon Apple/iOS app (Patreon)

Apple is requiring that Patreon use their in-app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon Apple/iOS app by November 2024. This means that starting in November, new memberships purchased in the Apple/iOS app will be subject to Apple's 30% App Store fee.

‌To be clear: this will not impact existing memberships at all if you do not cancel your membership. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the Apple/iOS app beginning in November 2024.

If you join (or have left Patreon and are now rejoining Patreon) after November 2024 and you use the Apple/iOS Patreon app to join, Apple will be charging you an additional minimum 30% plus taxes. This is an Apple charge, not a Patreon platform charge, and not a charge I personally add; it’s an Apple/iOS charge.

I advise that you do not use the Apple/iOS Patreon app to join/rejoin. Just open your browser and join Patreon from a browser or an Android app.
