Who uses the Apple/Iphone ios app to pay?
- I sign up and pay on Iphone app 59
- I use other methods (pc, other phones) 262
You've probably gotten this notification from Patreon that come November they're being forced by Apple to use their payment system if new memberships make payments through the Iphone app. I'm curious, how many of you sign up for creators pages and make that payment through the Iphone app and not others like on PC or other phone types? If you do I highly recommend you use other ways as to avoid any extra fees, although those of you here now should be fine as this applies to new memberships.
Note, using the Iphone app is fine, it's just new memberships made through it that's affected.
They're also being forced to change all creators profiles to subscription billing, meaning instead of being charged on the 1st of the month you'll be charged on the date you signed up on each month. This doesn't really change anything, but do be aware when this happens in November the date charged will not be on the 1st anymore.
It's annoying, but shouldn't really affect anything, I just may have to deal with some setbacks personally but hopefully not too much. I really appreciate all the help you guys give me, thank you so much for being here and helping me through all this! As always if anyone has any concerns or questions feel free to ask!
