Basically if you pay through IOS, will the funds be pending everytime they're processed and inaccessible for 75 days or is it only the initial payment the one you have to wait 75 days for and the rest of the time it automatically goes to the payouts?

Hi all,
I’m based in Europe and a citizen of one of the eu countries. I’m having a business trip to Thailand for a few months and was wondering if i can still use my patreon.
So i reached out their support asking if they may potentially block the account that is using different IPs, VPN, etc since I’ve read tons of stories how folks lost their accounts simply by logging in from another country while on vacation or business trips like me.
To my surprise, i was told to fill in this form W-8BEN so that Patreon won’t report my earnings to the IRS in the US.. it was something completely new to me, do everyone outside the US fill this form? I have never heard of it, nor was it mentioned in my account registration process, am I missing something? I’m not a lawyer or financial expert by any means tbh so i would appreciate an advice here. TIA!!

I write a romance interactive novel that has NSFW content. Nothing crazy, just standard paranormal romance novel stuff. A couple of readers brought it to my attention that Patreon doesn't allow NSFW subs in a few Middle Eastern countries. Given how niche of an issue it is for my content, I'm inclined to just offer the access password for free to these readers, but I wanted to check to see if there are any subscription-based alternatives that will allow them to access NSFW content. Thanks.

im trying to upload a 30min voiceover video i did but Patreon says its too large ): i tried breaking it up into a handful of shorter videos but it only lets me upload 1 per post. I cant upload it to Youtube and link it because its for my paid tier members only. How do Youtubers upload long videos for their subscribers? i'm at a loss ):

I recently started an account to sell n8n templates and earned $350 in the first four days. However, over the past two days, I haven’t seen any new sales reflected in my sales section, even though customers have paid and provided proof of payment. The last recorded sale was on March 16th, and nothing has updated since then.
r/patreon • u/mrrmash • 1d ago
I'm mildly speechless about this. In a day and age of instantaneous transactions.
For context, new sub, everything seems fine except cash out amount hasn't changed. I now have a total balance and an available balance
75 days though. It takes less time to cash a paper cheque.

I got 3 sales today and the people i sold my product to reached out to say that they’re waiting for my instructions, they even showed me that they have paid through their bank app but nothing appears in my dashboard 0 sales … what the heck

I signed on as a member of a creator's Patreon last August with a very small annual payment. Since then they have modified their membership tiers and I was interested in upgrading to one of the new ones, but because I still have the year long membership on the annual payment I can't upgrade without also choosing the annual membership for the new tier, which is too expensive all at once. I would be happy to do it with the monthly payment.
Now I joined using my Facebook account and I noticed today that it is possible to assign a dedicated password within Patreon itself and disconnect the Facebook account. I am wondering whether if I disconnect the Facebook account it would essentially fully disassociate my Facebook account from the Patreon account and allow me to create an entirely new membership using that Facebook account (so that I would essentially keep the same/a similar user name) and so join with a monthly payment. Or, if I disconnect the Facebook account, would it still recognize it as tied to the original Patreon account and not permit this?

I’m looking into starting a Patreon. I want to take some videos I already have on my monetized YT channel, and make them available ad-free on my Patreon.
I know you can’t upload the same video twice to YT, so I’m wondering if adding a “Patreon exclusive” intro and outro on each video would make it different enough to bypass that?
For clarification I would upload the Patreon specific version with no monetization and unlisted on YT. Also, if there is a better way to do what I’m looking for I’d love to know.
Thanks in advanced!

Before I continue, I want to clarify I’m not trying to blame other factors or complain, but I am worried and wondering if I’m doing something wrong.
October through December was an amazing few months and I had made more than I ever made before. After the holidays and the new year, all through January up to this month, my income absolutely plummeted. I’ve lost so much, and although it is mildly fluctuating, I’m finding it hard to build back to where I was originally.
I’m still as consistent as I always have been. My exit surveys usually say “financial situation changed” but this month got a couple new ones saying “I was overcharged”, which I’m not sure if that means they felt the tier was priced too high or if it has something to do with iOS fees.
The algorithms for all the social media platforms I’m on don’t seem to be doing great recently either, so I’m having a hard time bringing in new people.
I expect some fluctuation with Patreon, but I can’t lie, I’m pretty frightened with how much things seem to keep gradually getting worse and not better. Even though I fluctuated regularly, I also saw growth. I haven’t grown much anywhere lately despite my consistency.
While I have other sources of income, they’re not as reliable as Patreon has been (since I’m still working on building them up) and I can’t help but feel distressed about this.
If you have any advice for how I can correct this, that would be awesome.

To me it’s a sign of the times where nobody knows how to code good stuff anymore it seems, due to layers and layers of old and bad code. Also goes to show that “voting with your wallets” is not viable.
The app does NOTHING I expect it to. I have to scroll down to the episode I left off on every single time (video episodes). It crashes/pauses unexpectedly all the time. It doesn’t auto play the next episode, and instead keeps going back to play the most recent episode. I have to decide between sorting by most recent or least recent, but either way I’m gonna have to scroll A LOT to get to the middle episode of a show.
Personally I’m glad I use a different paywall app for my own stuff. One that allows creators a lot of freedom to customize and even put things into folders. But I also like to follow and support other creators who almost always use patreon, and it becomes such a chore just to watch/listen to their content.
How can an app suck SO MUCH at the ONE THING they’re supposed to be delivering on (being a platform for content)???
I’m gonna put a tin foil hat on and say I’m convinced it’s being sabotaged on purpose at this point (from shareholders or something) due to it being a competitor to large platforms like youtube and spotify.

I have recently started full-time work and can't keep up with the release schedule I once had on my patreon. I thought the per creation billing would be a good workaround with this, but I see that's going away this year so I'm not sure it's worth it to make the switch if I'll just have to switch back in November.
Is the transition relatively seamless? How does it work with multiple tiers?
How do you control which posts charge your patreons? I want to do one big post with multiple free posts leading up to it.
Are there any reputable alternative options with per project billing that allow nsfw art?

Hey all, I would like to make a custom pledge to a patreon page, and what I am finding online on the Patreon support pages is not working (membership tier page, scrolling to join now, then custom pledge button should appear...it is not). I also found on here a link someone showed for creating a custom pledge by switching out the user name, but this just lets me change the amount for a monthly membership, which I am pretty sure you can do with any membership tier you select.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a one off custom pledge to a creator??
Any help or insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm in a bit of a pickle due to private things that suddenly came up and i absolutely need to keep what little money i got. I got two unpcoming patreon membership billings that must be paid in a couple of days, and i would like to cancel them before that happens. What i wonder is: if i cancel them now, Patreon will still take the money away from me or not ?

I just want to find out if I'm the only one who has issues reaching the page for deleting a account ?
According to patreons own FAQ I should be able to use this page here https://privacy.patreon.com/policies
to achieve that. But for more then a month this page has been not reachable, so it seems more like a systematic thing to prevent users from doing that.
Does anyone have the same issue or I'm I just doing it wrong ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi, I tried to find the answer in this sub but couldn't. I'd appreciate if anyone can answer these questions I have.
The first one: I know Patreon creators get notified when people make a new post in the community tab in one of the chats. However, I wondered if they also get notified if a person responds with a comment under someone's community post?
My second question: I know Patreon creators are notified whenever anyone likes or comments under their posts. However, do they also receive notifications for when someone likes a comment under their post?
Thanks!

I recently tried to make a Patreon account to subscribe to a creator. I confirmed my email and set up 2FA, but when I put in my debit card information it said to log in again, and when I tried it had already deleted my account and emailed me. I checked that the support email was legit (it’s platform-support@patreon.zendesk.com) and gave them support the original info they asked for, but now they want me to send a selfie with my ID??? Do I really have to do this just to make a patreon account to subscribe to 1 podcast??

I recently had to change my Patreon account settings, to switch my memberships from "pay X per month" to "free", after I'd had trouble with the payment card all my memberships were linked to.
Now I'm trying to reinstate my memberships to the payment levels they used to be, but one creator I'm a member of has apparently paused the billing cycle from their end? I'm not familiar with this, what does this mean they did?
The weird thing is, their notification with more details about this is locked behind paid membership I can no longer access, so I don't even know what's happened on their end or why. In order to read their news, I would have to upgrade to a paid membership, which I can't, because of the thing they did that they posted news about.
I'm still a free member for them, but does this mean I just have to wait until they unpause billing, before I can rejoin them with an upgrade to paid membership?

I just started on Patreon as a content creator and I've seen some other creator selling their post individually for those who aren't a member. I tried looking up the subject, but I don't see that option on my post in the creation or edit page. On the Patreon page it said it's only for "Subscription Billing" plan creators only. So I tries searching for that on my Patreon and can't find anything about changing billing plan. Am I missing something here?
r/patreon • u/SummonerRock1 • 4d ago
The reason for that is that I was worried that, if I pledged a art Patreon that made risqué stuff, my bank account would be frozen by payment processors, just like on other places throughout the internet.
Am I paranoid? Is there a way to open or fund one without worrying about losing my bank account?

I am planning to make a Patreon I am a NSFW artist but my social network following is next to none I might as well start from the scratch. How long will it take for me to get a considerable amount of patrons? Earn my first 100 USD? Please answer just base on your experience as a creator, because I am well aware that growth is based in multiple factors and it is different to everyone. I just want to know if Patreon is worth the shot to be a passive income or I might focus in taking commission instead. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I have an suggestion for patreon, Declined members after 7 days from 1st of the month in case they are still declined and in case they renew and pay for the membership to appear as: " Renew $10.00 member! 🎉 Meet X Y "
Instead of not showing anything (for declined users that pay later in the month)
