Patreon news update for all future patrons
Hello! This news is for all the new and future patrons!
Starting November 2024, Apple will be requiring that Patreon use their in app purchasing system and remove all other billing systems from the patreon iOS.
This means that new memberships purchased in iOS app will be subjected to Apple's 30% App Store fee.
This will not impact existing memberships and will only impact new memberships purchased in iOS starting from November 2024. This also affects people who swap tiers as each swap is considered as a re-sub.
For people who want to avoid paying this fee on top of regular Patreon price (also for people swapping tiers) I would recommend that you do it through a website and not through iOS as there will be no extra fee added there.
TLDR don't sub to patrons through apple as they will make you pay 30% on top of regular tier price. Instead sub through a website. That is all. XD
just wanted to give you all a heads up :)
Thank you for your support! :)

WOW.
It's ridiculous that they do that. 30% is too much. Don't worry I'm sure that we'll all subscribe just from you
Thank you so much for breaking it all down.
Wow, is that worldwide? The European digital markets stuff has been forcing Apple to make changes, but they’ve only made them in Europe. Maybe they are doubling down everywhere else? 30% Apple tax has always been ridiculously high. Thanks for the tip!
Nope, Apple always charger 30%. Usually you just don't see it...
i don't think i've ever subbed to a patreon via my phone, even though i've never had an apple device...
then you're good :)
One OS to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. Android lives!
Apple - what can't they ruin? >_<
yep. <__<
