Apple has informed Patreon that it must switch to Apple's in-app billing system or face removal from the App Store. This directive requires Patreon to pay a 30% fee on all transactions processed through Apple's system. In response, Patreon has initiated a migration process to transition all its creators to Apple's subscription billing platform by November 2025. The move is expected to impact the earnings of creators using Patreon, as they will have to adjust to the new fee structure imposed by Apple.
