Apple to Charge 30% Fee on All Patreon Subscriptions Through iOS

Like us first announced last yearApple is requiring Patreon to abandon the in-app purchase system and remove all other billing systems from the Patreon iOS app by November 2024.

This has two important implications for creators:

1. Apple applies the 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased through the Patreon iOS app, and to all purchases in your Patreon store.

2. Creators currently on a billing plan where payments are made on the first of the month or per creation will need to switch to subscription billing in order to continue earning within the iOS app, as this is the only billing type that supports Apple’s in-app purchase system.
