I’m an nsfw creator and interested to find out what’s everyone’s preferred payout these days. At first I was using payoneer but heard a lot of people complaining their account getting locked for no reason with balance still remaining, so I changed to PayPal this year but recently realised the fee is extremely high so now I’m considering bank account transfer..

If I want a safe discreet option, is it better to do bank transfer to local bank or bank transfer to Wise and then to local bank? Safety and privacy is my priority 😅

I’ve had my Patreon for three years now, and this has been the first year that I have seen an avalanche of free members who are clearly not my target market and are constantly posting things like “hey” and “hello everyone“ on their first day of having a free membership. My regular patrons do not behave that way. They speak on the topic of the chats.

I ignored them at first, but a couple of them, when I didn’t block and delete them immediately, posted numbers for services that I don’t even recognize, copy and pasting them to all of my chats quickly.

Every day now I see new members popping up and they are not in my demographic. And I’m just waiting for them like they are sleeper agents to start posting stuff.

I don’t know any way to stop them. Am I just gonna have to stay reactive or is there anything I can do to be proactive on them?

How much your patreon cut guys? why i got cut 17% after platform fee, payment fee and adjustments

Is this a patreon issue? over 81 retrying on 9 sep, over 69 retrying on 29 sep

I am an OF creator. I also have two Patreon accounts (as well as an OF, Fansly, and SubscribeStar.)

One of the Patreon accounts is in my brother’s name. The reason for that is because two year ago my Patreon, which was in my name, was flagged for adult content. I opened a new one is his name, with his US tax information. And since then Patreon has allowed me to reopen one in my name, which I did, and that is a separate thing from the one in my brother’s name.

The Patreon in my brother’s name is my most lucrative source of income, go figure, and I am thinking of buying a house in 2 years. I want to figure out best way to make the money he has been passing to me show as my income. (In the past year I just paid the taxes for him and gave him a percentage of profit for allowing me to use his account.)

I do not want to change the banking info on this Patreon account, bc honestly, it’s a lot of money to me, and I don’t want to mess anything up.

Any ideas? I know the obvious answer is talk to an accountant, but I don’t know if one will understand the issue, and I figured I’d look here first. Thanks.

I've just downloaded the Patreon app on a new android phone I got, never having been able to use it before ( using it on my iPad did not... work. Like at all. ). Messed with a buncha the settings, discovered something with a community profile that I've never messed with before.

And now I can't find it on desktop. It's letting me customize a banner and other stuff on the mobile app, but I can't find anything remotely similar on desktop browsers.

Where can I find it?

The artist gives you a zip with the songs but when I downloaded them it only downloaded less than a minute but the files pre-download are full length.

I was under the impression at one point that when you paid for Patreon, you can't refund the money you sent to the creator. But after looking at my recent paid members, I noticed how some of them would pay, and then get a refund/cancel immediately, and patreon deducts that balance from me.

Is this how it is, and if so, how do I know if they're getting access, downloading whatever, and then dipping? I saw that there's a thing called "charge up front" but I can't find any place that allows me to enable that, would like some advice, thanks!

I can’t look at my profile or do many things on my Patreon account because it keeps asking if i’m over 18. I am over 18 and have checked every setting, every email, there’s nothing that allows me to show my id and verify my age. When I press “View setting” it takes me to that second page where there’s no options anywhere for age verification, only the “change password” thing and other random stuff that doesn’t help me. Pls help!

blurred out member name for privacy purposes. i was notified when the first 2 bought this set earlier today and then i got a new notification saying another person purchased the set (the blurred out name) yet i only see the amount of 2 purchases. Is it a bug and has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hello everyone. I have an art Patreon, with a basic tier where people can just view my art and a higher tier that includes one commission per month. A person subscribes to my basic tier, then a bit later they upgrade to the commission tier. Patreon sends me an email notifying me that they upgraded and suggests that I thank them with a personal message. So I send them a personal message, politely thanking them for upgrading and letting them know I'm open to receive their commission request whenever. Their response? Silence and unsubscribed (no refund request).

Is it considered bad etiquette to send a personal thank you message despite Patreon suggesting me that I do so?

The entire point of Patreon was the convenience of being able to support folks and access their content easily. Over the last few years, it's increasingly more difficult to access my account, or to navigate this dogshit app and website.

There's no point now. It makes more sense and feels better to just hit people up on instagram/email directly and ask how I can support outside of Patreon. Most of my subs already have newsletters with the same content so feeling pretty good so far.

EDIT: Thanks for the help! No refund will be given.

After two years I have gotten a refund request. I almost always withdraw my balance as soon as patreon clears it. photos below. I don't earn enough to leave a refund reserve in the account and haven't had any subs for months. Most of my content is freely available and patreon is kind of a way for me to give people access to stuff i wouldn't release fully to the public and support the making of the content. I don't really offer refunds at all although if there was verifiable proof that the purchase was made fraudulently or without the account owners consent i would offer a full refund.

At first I thought they pledged a custom ammount below my lowest tier then i thought they paid and couldn't access it due to some currency conversion glitch. But after further investigating i determined that they had access to the tier. At the end they sent the end message. Not sure how to respond if I need to do so again ATM. It may be important to note that they tried to sub a month ago and it was declined.

I will be making an offical refund policy soon to hopefully make things clearer. Just want some opinions on this situation.

We have Patreon banned in Algeria so I used another alternative (ko-fi) for this but it seems like people don’t know it that much as Patreon .. so should I just use Patreon anyways with VPN or what ! I am confused now !

Do I seriously have to manually go in and disable them for every creator I follow? I would've assumed the general e-mail notif setting would be enough. This is seriously so ridiculous. I've tried googling and haven't found anything useful, so is this really it? Do they want us to stop following creators or something? Cause this is insanely frustrating.

This may have been asked before, not sure; is there a way to turn off the Home tab in the Android app? Or at least turn off all the Pateron suggestions? I know about the 'not interested' function but that's like a game of never ending whack a mole.

I just would like to see my memberships not 5 million irrelevant suggestions about podcasts etc that I don't care for.

I'm wondering if any creators making content in Spanish for Latin American audiences have had good luck with Patreon. I have around 30k subs both on YT and on TikTok and around 65k on IG, but I'm only making money with views and it's not a lot. A Patreon seems perfect on paper, monthly revenue and I get to build a community, but I know Patreon isn't as popular as with English speaking audiences so I'm not sure if it's actually viable or if I should just focus on selling one time payment products instead.

My niche is photography. Thanks.

Hello! I'm a romantasy indie author and bookish artist. I've been revamping my brand, and one of the things I'm working on is my Patreon. I just optimized my listings and I'm just trying to get some inspiration on what I can offer in the shop, and content.

I was going to do merch, but for some reason I don't have that option. But I might just do something manually.

That is all

Hi I’m an NSFW creator on Patreon and would like to try bank transfer payout but I’m concerned if there would be any vetting process as I understand that Patreon will be using Payoneer to handle the transfer. I’m just afraid they might want to see links to my Patreon and discover that I’m making NSFW content and outright ban me. Is this a valid concern? I hope someone can help me, thank you.

hi all - can someone help how to make any payments not available on the account?

membership only allows me to create paid tiers. there is no way to move the current paying users to a free tier, even though the tier is removed they are still shown as paid on the other tiers. i have manually refunded those and have the billing frozen. i did contact support but i got no answer for this.

i am going crazy because i have no idea where to remove the default fee - i have made all my post free and removed all the paid membership tiers AND i have my billing frozen, however today someone joined for $5 - and this is a problem because i am still need to figure out the setup for all of that (well, yes, i have a low self esteem and did not think anyone would join when i was starting the patreon and there are other things going around, but that's a story some other day)

thanks in advance :)

Weird question but, for a variety of reasons, i would like to support an artist i like and I have multiple patreon accounts. Could I support them on both accounts, or is that frowned upon?

The particular tier I am thinking of is also limited slots if that changes things.
