Once again, Patreon is caving to outside pressures. This time, Apple will be forcing Patreon to adopt their in-app payment system for anyone using the IOS Patreon app, which has the added effect of not allowing the per-page charging that Sabrina Online currently uses. I don't plan on making any changes here until at least the end of the year, as there is a grace period before certain payment models are cut off completely, then I will be having discussions about what changes will work best for me and all (or most) of you.

Until then, I would recommend that you NOT use the Apple iOS Patreon app when pledging to a creator or renewing, and instead do so though your standard web browser, as:

  • The app will not allow you to pledge to those using per-creation payments like this one after November.

  • App payment tacks on an additional fee which goes directly to Apple, not Patreon or the artists/creators.

    Thanks for your time, - Eric Schwartz

I've seen others talking about this. Some have said as long as you pay through the website, the iOS app shouldn't be an issue. Don't take my word tho, I'm tired as hell atm :)

As I use the Android version of the app, or the web version, I don't think that this should adversely affect me.

I never once considered doing Patreon payments through Apple and never will.

I drive my donations through their website via CC.

I’m kinda old fashioned and have always paid through the browser. Didn’t even know there was an app…

Makes me glad I only have Android!

I'm speculating they got paid "loads of money" to push this through. Why would they want creators to pay that 30% plus fees, and scrap the per-creation option???
