How we first announced last yearApple requires Patreon to use its in-app purchase system and remove all other payment systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024.
This has two main implications for creators:
1. Apple will apply its 30% App Store commission to all new subscriptions purchased in the Patreon iOS app, in addition to any purchases in your Patreon store.
2. Any creator currently using a per-creation or per-art plan will need to upgrade to a subscription to continue earning in the iOS app, as this is the only payment type supported by Apple's in-app purchase system.
Before we continue, we want to make one thing clear: Apple's fee will not affect your current memberships. It will only affect new memberships purchased in the iOS app since November.
