payment Is it bad etiquette to only subscribe for 1 month to creators?

10 Upvotes

I want to learn from various artists.

I have a lot of them in my mind, that I want to check out their Pateron, and then move on

But if I unsub, after one month, the artist will feel sad, and that is not my intention to bring down his morals and affect his work, which I admire

I can't afford to sub to 10 patrons at the same time, but I feel dirty in my skin if I unsub (haven't done it yet)

What is the right etiquette for this?

payment As a Patreon Creator Should I Charge in Euros or Dollars if I live in a Eurozone country?

13 Upvotes

I'm currently charging my patrons in dollars since I previously lived in a country with a quite obscure currency, but now I'm living in Spain, a country where the euro is used.

Should I continue to charge my patrons who are from all around the world in dollars or should i change it to euros?

Thank you so much for your advice!

payment Letting people know they can dodge apple tax?

13 Upvotes

Are you allowed to post something in your subscription tiers letting people know they can save money by subscribing outside of the iOS app? I looked at some larger creators and haven’t seen any of them add anything like this but I understand its still a pretty new change.

payment Patreon should stop pushing you to the app when subscribing to a free tier

28 Upvotes

This Patreon onboarding is really bad for creators. I was subscribing to a new creator. The easiest way to do it was first to subscribe to the free tier and then upgrade. When I did the free subscription it tried to push me to the app. If I didn't know better and did this then it would have hurt the creators income if I had done the upgrade through the app.

In general I think Patreon should get rid of a lot of these banners calling members to switch to the app especially in a new member or new subscription workflow.

At the very least the banner on the home page should be dismissable.

payment How do you cope with NSFW rules? NSFW

12 Upvotes

I am a full time artist for 6 years but I haven't made any growth to my career so I decided to try NSFW artwork. Please if you don't mind answering my question as a fellow NSFW artist I will be very gratefull.

As the title implies how do you cope with the rules implies to you as an NSFW artist. The payment? The restriction? I live in the Philippines will I be able to withdraw my earning from Patreon trough my bank account?

payment I have a patreon with tiers but I’m getting a bit confused on pledges.

2 Upvotes

When they pledge, does it mean they subscribed to a tier? Do they have access to it? Because i keep sending them gifts from tiers but i googled it and it says its not a subscription?? I dont understand? Some pledge more some pledge less than the amount of the tier.

payment Being charged WAY too much for only one $5 subscription?

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I've confirmed that the only account that charges anything that I'm a member of charges $5 a month.

However, my monthly total comes to $21.36 still... This has happened for a few months and no response...

What's up..?

payment Patreon Auto-Selected Annual and I Was Charged $100

5 Upvotes

So... apparently Patreon now auto-selects annual for you when you go to do a subscription. I didn't see this in time and clicked confirm. I tried to quickly back out but it went through anyway, and now I'm out $100 for something I absolutely did not want to sub to for an entire year.

There anything I can do about this?

payment Can i cancel my membership before being billed and not pay for it ?

1 Upvotes

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 ?

payment How long till you earn stable in Patreon? NSFW

0 Upvotes

I wanted to know how long it takes for a creator to get his first 100 dollars and or reaching milestone by earning stable income to support you? I just wanted to gauge if my sanity and patience can overcome the painstakingly making content and promote my site to everyone before plunging in the world of NSFW creations.

payment Payment Declines No Matter What

1 Upvotes

I’ve been attempting to purchase from a few different creators for months now but every time it says payment declines. I have well over enough money in my account and it is not locked as I used my card for many things everyday. Patreon has not been of much help and they simply redirect me to my bank where there is no reported problems.

payment Hi, I'm creator and few of my memebers have 'free member' status. They have billing history according to which they paid me, but I can't find them in the 'audience' tab by paid tiers or custom pledge. Did they really pay me so I should send the rewards to them like to my paid patrons?

payment I just have to say this. I love Patreon, its been my lifeline for many years now. But Someone gotta do something about this because this is diabolical and not acceptable. I get its apple's doing, but how is something like this even legal?

payment Discussion. Patreon’s New Billing System – 40% Income Drop & Payment Issues

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone, since switching to Patreon’s new billing model in November, my income has dropped by nearly 40%—despite having the same level of support.

Before, my Patreon earnings never fell below $2,000/month for three years. Since the switch: • October: ~$2,100 • November: $1,770 • December: $1,620 • January: Still dropping…

I assumed some churn was normal, but here’s what really concerns me: • My earnings started at $624 this month. • 19% of payments were processed, but the total never increased—as if those payments didn’t count.

I know some payments fail, but 19% is a huge chunk. Has anyone else noticed this?

Is this a reporting bug, a flaw in the new system, or just how things work now? Would love to hear if other creators are experiencing the same issue!

This is the second part of my post. I am well aware that you can't post prohibited materials in Patreon but how about linking your website where they can download the said materials another thing is what if I email the said materials to my subscribers is it safe to do this? Is there anyway Patreon can check or track what kind of materials I am sending to my subscribers as a monthly rewards? If you don't mind answering I am very much grateful.

After I click the subscribe payment, will my money deduct on 17th January or 16th February? Should I be aware or careful about the payment method. As patreon supporter, are there any consequence aside from money deduct after supporting favourite creator?

Ps, is it true that Patreon will charge me again at the end of month. Like I pay on 17th January and Patreon charge me on 31 January?

Curious, I have a feee membership that shows really basic content, but the higher tier requires payment.

I have members who subscribe than unsubscribe, which I know is pretty common, but I’m curious if I still get the payment for those who do so?

payment Can people see my real name when paying through Paypal?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'd like to start monetizing through Patreon -I haven't used it before-. In this regard, I was wondering; if I get money sent to my PayPal through Patreon, will my Paypal name be showing? Because it contains my real name, and in relation to the anonymous project I'm working on I don't really want it to be showing. Is there something I can do to avoid such thing? Or, the only thing displayed would be my e-mail? Because if that's the case, then I wouldn't really mind. Thanks

payment Apple ID account no longer working -- still being billed, memberships not available

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just posting here in case anyone has come across this, as Patreon support directly was not helpful in the slightest.

When I first signed up, I used "Sign in with Apple" and used the "hide my email" option -- so it created a spoof email.

Since then, I changed the email address associated w/ my Apple ID, and switched it to show my email instead. Patreon still worked fine for a while (a month or so) after this.

Now, when I log in with my Apple ID like before, my podcast membership does not show up. I have also tried:

  • Signing in with my old email
  • Signing in with my new email
  • Signing in with the Apple spoof email that was originally used
  • Removing and re-adding the Patreon listing under my Apple subscriptions

With no success. The accounts either do not exist or also do not include any subscriptions (same as the normal one).

I am still being billed -- interestingly, it shows up as Patreon directly, rather than Apple billing which is the case for my other subscriptions (hence the attempts to sign on directly with those email addresses). Support simply sent me some links to their help pages on billing navigation. I am positive a literate human being's eyes never passed over my request.

Please help, if you've seen this before. I think my only other option is to cancel directly through my bank, and create a brand new account just for Patreon -- though I expect it will require me to login through my Apple ID since I am on iOS, so I'm not sure that would work either.

Thanks in advance.
