My Patreon account deleted (I had forgotten the 30 days were coming up) before I had a chance to cancel membership to a Patreon group. Will I still be billed monthly or does an account deletion take away my credit card details and I won't be charged monthly going forward?? Appreciate feedback .đź‘Ť
Somebody is stealing my content from patreon and uploading on Boosty. Is there something I can do about it? I asked them to remove but they just ignore me. I tried sending a support ticket thru Boosty but they just said"Thank you for the information. We will definitely look into it and take action if necessary." and that's it. What can I do?
Hey, I'm a new NSFW creator. I mainly create still 3d or animated 3d smut/porn. I have been doing a commission for half a year via PayPal (which is linked to my main bank account) and I have not had any problems. I just wrote about freelancing everywhere. (PayPal etc..)
The main problem is I come from a country where sharing, creating, and selling porn/smut isn't allowed (India). It's not the Middle East and the law regarding that here is not applied/is very loose. I have seen tons of porn comic and adult creators that haven't gotten in trouble.
My question Is I want to create nsfw patreon page. What details, IDs, and proofs do I have to give to Patreon. Someone here had the same question but Patreon simply didn't allow them to create an NSFW Patreon. And stated it's banned in their country. Is there someone here who's from India and has an NSFW Patreon? Does Patreon let you create here or give you the same statement and reject you?
Appreciate any help or advice you can give. Have a good day
Basically I was working on my page (setting up tiers, description of my page, banners etc etc) but I didn't post anything because I assumed you can just publish and it'd go live THEN I'll post. However, my page is under review, which is fine but they're saying that the "content" has to be reviewed to make sure it meets the community guidelines but I don't have any content to be reviewed posted up yet.
Is that going to hinder the review process? Did I have to post a picture or something? Or are they just reviewing the banner/profile picture and tiers?
I unsubscribed to someone on Patreon because i thought money was going to be tight this month, i ended up being fine. So I was going to get back on their Patreon, but i see they charge $40 more now than what I was paying every month. I guess they upped their price.
Here is the thing, I still have access to their content because my time hasn't run out yet.
Here is my question, if i just go repledge will i still get my grandfathered price since my current subscription technically isn't up yet?
Sorry for the noob question. I’ve got a couple of subs but surprisingly not from my YouTube. How do people find you on patreon and what can you do to get more traffic from patreon?
Hi guys, just got my first few paid patreon members. I wanted to know what does it say on PayPal/bank statement.
Does it mention the name of your profile, your real name, or just patreon? I will be paid out via PayPal so anyone who has been paid before, I’d appreciate if you could help me out here.
Thanks!
Hey all,
I'm planning on taking a hiatus from Patreon starting in May and, for now, I've paused billing for the remainder of April till late May. I'm wondering, though - should I wait until the billing pause is up prior to unpublishing my creator page, or can I unpublish the page at any time without worrying about losing the earnings I made from this month?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer ♡

Im just curious, cause i saw some ad on reddit that told to do so and was curious if its popular practice or some scam ad
Title says it all. Just wanted to double-check and make sure that a YouTube link would work if I put it in a comment on a creator's post, but I couldn't find any info. Thanks!
so I just set up Patreon few days ago, and today I got a notification from the mobile app that I received my first pledge. I open Patreon from the browser but the total membership from the front page still 0, and I have a new notification as well "*user name* become member of Tier 1". From the Audience tab I can see there is one member there, but i noticed the status is Declined Member. What does this mean ? is this a bug ?
Short version, I used to have an account that I never actually used so I deactivated it. Years later I've decided I want to give being a creator a try, but when I try to log in it just says "account deactivated." Is it possible to get them to reactivate an account that's been inactive for years? I don't have a secondary e-mail address to use or I'd just start an account under that and call it a day. (No policy violations for anything, no issues at all--I was the one that deactivated it)
I watch certain channels on You Tube and most will say watch a full video breakdown on my Patreon. Now I know to watch the content on Patreon you have to pay but my question is do you have to pay and sign up for every person you want to follow or is it a monthly fee and you can watch multiple people's Patreon feed. I am new to watching stuff and just don't understand how it works.
I recently became aware of something... I was messaging with someone who subscribes to me (under a very anonymous type of username) and I clicked on their username and it took me to their creator page (where they have a lot more subscribers than I do).
Anyway! I'm obviously super flattered such a popular creator is following me and sending me DMs about my work (fanning myself) but I had no idea that I would be taken to someone's creator page (totally different username and everything).
Perhaps this is old news already but it's a first for me realizing it and didn't know if any others were aware of this or not. I would have just assumed Patreon would keep those totally separate for privacy but guess I was wrong.
I really don’t want this person to see me and my stuff on there, so I’d like to block them, but they already paid 20+20$ for their subscription, and I’m scared they will sue me if I just block them and they don’t get their money back. Does someone have information on this?
I host all my content, just some 18+ AI-generated material, on my website. However, I refrain from uploading such content on Patreon. Instead, I simply provide a sign directing visitors to my website, where I utilize a plugin that restricts access to Patreon subscribers only. Would this be considered a violation of the Benefit Guidelines ?
Hi fellow Patreon creators,
I'm running into an issue with my Patreon page and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.
I have 3 patron tiers set up on my page. However, when I select tiers in the [Tiers] drop-down menu, it only shows me the "Public" option and my most expensive tier. My other two tiers are missing.
Has anyone else encountered this problem on Patreon recently? Is there a known bug or glitch causing this to happen? Is it an issue on my end or Patreon's end?
I tried to sign up for patreon and when I tried to sign in after signing up, it said my account had been deactivated.
I contacted support and received an email from some himalaya @ zendesk asking for a lot of sensitive information. Information I hadn't even had the chance to put into the actual account because I was booted so fast.
Can someone confirm this is actual support and not a scam?
OK I have looked around and can't find an answer to this specific question:
tldr; Can I add a perk (like Merch) to an unpublished tier?
The full monty: I am restructuring my tiers. I want to take the current single tier that I started my Patreon with and unpublish it. I will reward all of those early supporters with perks from a higher priced tier in the new structure. As part of that I want to award them a special "founders only" t-shirt design that no one else gets since they were there from the start. So if I unpublish that tier, and then add a t-shirt perk to it, will they get that in the 90 merch window even if its unpublished?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I typically have no trouble uploading videos to the in-app video player. But I have one video I'm trying to upload today - it's an .mp4 - and it just won't upload. Won't move past 0% on the uploading bar. I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas here?
Hi everyone!
Basically, I’m a french (M21) comic/ manga drawer and I make 18+ content for a living to finance my studies and my lifestyle (generally I take a trending pop culture series or manga (and so on) and I parody it by turning it into an adult version).
I recently blew up on Twitter, my Dune 2 parody made over 180k interactions and I started a Patreon account to ride the trend. My visibility went up since mid-February.
And so, in a matter of 3 months or so (from February), I managed to gain over 3300 paid patrons. Which leaves me with a dormant and undeclared sum which I do not know how to manage yet (left on Paypal).
Today, my paid tiers range from 5€ to 15€. The 1st tier is available at 5€/m : it gathers ~87% of all my patrons (=~2871 patrons at said tier). The 2nd tier at 13€: it gathers ~12% of… (=~396 patrons)
The 3rd at 15€: it gathers ~1% of… (= 33 patrons)
Which sums up (for last March 2023 Patreon statement) to ~20k€ -> 18,5-19k€ after Patreons fees.
If we add up what Patreon has transferred me since February, we are at ~35k€ on Paypall.
I thought of consulting an accountant but I don’t really know what tondo else.
Feel free to help me out ! ;) 🙏

Hey all, I am trying to setup a Commercial License Tier but during the subscription checkout page, all I see is payment info but no field to add URL or Company info.
For context, I am planning to sell digital models for subscriber to sell commercially a physical print.
The analytics on my latest video says:
Average view duration: 25%
Impressions: 136
Preview views: 8
The video is Patreon exclusive with a 30sec preview enabled. There is a link to the video on my socials, which is where I assume most of the impressions are coming from.
However, these numbers don't seem to show me how many actual views the video got, those views being from my paid patrons. Am I missing something?
​
It always shows 0$, I tried 3 cards (2 visa and one mastercard).
I am writing 200+ chapters webnovel with each chapters of 1800-2300 words. In around 10-15 chapters there is incest content, which I came to know is community violation. It might get my account banned. I am thinking of posting it in google drive and giving link the members. It may work? Will it get problem later on?
I am not sure so, can anyone provide the solution for this?
Do you lose your founders plan if you switch your account from personal to business?
What happens behind the scenes when you switch? Is anything reported to the CRA if you make over $10K/yr? What forms do you need to fill out?
Any additional help or info is appreciated. Thanks
I'm new to Patreon. I'm setting it up to create subscription options for my newsletter, which is hosted elsewhere. My question is should I use the name of my newsletter as my page name on Patreon, or is it better to use my own name? For now, it's just for the newsletter but it's possible that in the distant future I'll be offering something else.
It is SO slow, like unusably bad. How hard is it to load a couple of blogs posts with embedded youtube links? HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE MOBILE PAGE.
I am working on building up a following on Twitter for a while before I start a patreon. I have been looking at many other artists, and I am VERY puzzled as to why the follower ratios are so skewed. I saw someone with over 100k on Twitter, yet their patreon had only 370 followers. Then I saw someone with around 30k Twitter followers have a little over 1000 patreon subscribers.
What’s going on here?
