Patreon Tiers Update: Questions
🕑 Added 2025-03-16 11:07:14 +0000 UTC❤️ Annual members, How can I change my membership if I'm an annual member?
First, you can't change your membership to a lower tier just higher. How to do it?
Click the Manage Memberships button (pencil icon) in the left navigation
Click the Edit button for the membership you would like to change
Click the Edit button in the Summary section
Select your new tier at an annual level — there’s currently no way to switch to a monthly plan from annual terms
Review the details on the checkout page and click the Update button
When you increase your annual membership, pro-rated credit from what you've already paid is applied to the new amount, and you pay the remaining cost for upgrading. When you make changes to an annual membership, it extends your year term from that date.
❤️ Please DO NOT pay for your pledge or in-store purchases from the Apple store patron page, Why?
iOS payments are processed for 75 days and have an extra fee of 30% If you pay through Apple store, Patreon does not count your payment in that month's rewards. I'm already having several problems with patrons paying and not receiving the rewards, because Patreon keeps processing the payment. DO NOT USE iOS PLS
❤️ A new tier system will be established in April and you should be prepared because some tiers will disappear.

The informative post is important for everyone, but especially for members of the tiers that will be eliminated.
🔴Tiers that won't be available anymore from April: A M E T H Y S T, M O O N S T O N E, G A R N E T and F L U O R I T E
❤️ You can change your pledge at any point but the best time to make the switch, is days BEFORE APRIL BEGINS.

Yes, long story short, making purchases from any apps on iOS devices is “verified” through the device itself (we have to double click our power button when the prompt shows up to finalize our purchase). Making purchases from a web browser basically bypasses the feature since you’re technically not making purchases from the app itself but from WITHIN it. It’s kind of hard to explain, but hopefully you get the gist of it 😃

Would it make a difference if Apple users use payment processing on Patreon Web browsing rather than IOS app? (I'm android but figured I'd ask for Apple users)

Yes, there are payments I didn't receive from past month yet. I've had to send the rewards manualy, without receiving the money + it's like that every month they pay through apple store. Even so, Patreon is going to change all the models to keep that horrible system, bc for them it's important to be available for apple users....

That’s actually ridiculous that they have their monetary processing system set to take 75 days…
