Apple Enforces 30% Fee on Patreon iOS Donations by November 2025
Aug 14, 2024, 03:37 PM
Apple has announced that it will require Patreon to switch to its in-app purchase system for iOS transactions, imposing a 30% fee on all donations made through the platform. This decision has sparked significant concern among creators who rely on Patreon for income, as the increased fees could lead to higher subscription costs for users. Apple has threatened to remove Patreon from the App Store if it does not comply with the new billing requirements. In response, Patreon has begun migrating its creators to Apple's billing system, a process expected to be completed by November 2025. The move has been criticized as part of Apple's broader strategy to enforce its payment processing system on app developers, potentially impacting the financial viability of many small creators.
