*Upcoming changes to billing*

Hey guys! So as many have you have probably seen, the apple app store is essentially pushing Patreon and their users to use the subscription billing model to be able to use their app store, and will also be charging a 30% fee for every new subscription that is done through their app. Now, my personal view on it, is that I'm not a fan, because either I will have to eat those costs, or you will have to. But seeing as I don't really have a say, the current billing model (first of the month) will likely be switched at some point without my say, and those fees will be applied through the apple app only.

What does this mean for you guys? 

• If I do switch to the new billing model - For those of you who are already paying members, it seems like nothing will change for you, since the monthly date that you pay on is already set, and the 30% fee would only get applied to new subscriptions joining after November 1st 2024 through the apple app.

• If I do not switch - Nothing will change, however new individuals will not be able to join through the Apple store Patreon app period, starting the 1st of November, 2024.

My recommendation

For anyone new that wishes to join, please DO NOT join through the Apple Patreon app. Please join through the web browser version as you will not be charged the higher amount if you do so, nor will I have to eat those costs. (If I switch the billing method)

What I'll be doing 

I'm going to be pinning this post to my Patreon page AND I will also be making sure to leave a note about it in my Patreon write up, so that people are aware of the change.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to let me know. I only have as much knowledge as what's in the screenshot above, but I'll do my best 👍

I'll also update you guys with any new info I get from Patreon.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
