building a following Some worries about my patreons future

This august has been a bit sad for me as I had some social media problems the last month so I'm slowly trying to recover and I knew that the august payment would be a bit low compared to my previous but I was checking my app this morning and got a heart attack. I'm so upset with myself and how much money and progress I've lost, I quit my job for a big holiday and was excited to get into my patreon more but this is so disheartening. Do you think i can recover? And is there anyone going through a similar thing? I'm sorry for being a bummer but feeling really low right now and scared for my future.

payment No payout process showing today

5 Upvotes

Today is already the first, but nothing is happening with the payment process — there is no ‘payment process’ line, and there are no payouts credited on the 1st as there were last month… Does anyone else have the same issue? I’m starting to worry if everything is okay with my payouts…

Item missing from Purchase History, creator says I have to buy it again

Upvotes

Sorry if this isn't allowed.

I purchased a Sims 4 mod from a Patreon creator a few months ago and have been using it consistently - even after the last game update. It stopped working randomly, so I went to my Patreon purchase history to redownload it, but it was missing as if I'd never downloaded it in the first place, although the receipt is still visible in my billing history.

The only information I could find about missing purchases says that either the creator or the platform must have deleted it, but the sales page is still up and dates back to last year. When I contacted the creator they said it's because of the game update (which I know it isn't), and that I'll have to buy it again if I want to continue using it.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, did you manage to resolve it?

payout Patreon gave me 0.57 payout for $1. What is going on?

0 Upvotes

I just wanted to discuss with fellow patreon creators if this is normal, I got charged $0.33 as payment processing fee + their recent updated 10% platform fee.

I dont mind the increase from 8% -> 10% but wtf is $0.33 on a $1.00.

On its platform it says it considers payments under $3 as micropayments and has different pricing structure, but still.

Is this a mistake on my end or do you guys also usually get to see only 57 cents out of each dollar your patrons pay you?

$1 Membership

How to wind down and close my Patreon?

6 Upvotes

Hi. I've been googling this but still can't seem to figure out exactly what do to. Sadly, running my Patreon takes too much time in addition to my day job. My Patreon has downloadable 3D models that people can print.

So what I want to do is this:

For my current paying members, I want them to be able to access their paid posts for the rest of their current billed month but then I don't want them to be billed again. Once this whole phase passes and everyone has had a chance to download the files, then I'd like to shut it down.

Between unpublishing and deleting a membership tier, I'm confused about how to do this. thx!

payment People join your Patreon and then leave?

4 Upvotes

On my Patreon, I get a lot of people that join, and then immediately leave. I just wanna make sure that they’re not seeing my content for free and then leaving and having it be free to them. Is there a way to check to make sure that they still have to pay and then have to repay the next time they join? I do charge up front, but I don’t know the settings.

refunds I just asked for a refund and I feel terrible about it

8 Upvotes

So paid for this guy's membership, and I didn't notice that something else ALSO took money from my account (unrelated to the creator I'm talking about) so I had to ask for a refund, and now I feel terrible about it, he accepted it thankfully, but I feel like an ass for refunding!

I’m at a loss, I do not have an account and have tried to search through all my settings, I have no idea what this message is talking about. I’ve shut down my phone and restarted it, tried to do it through the app with the same message.

I don’t have Facebook and don’t use google for my accounts. I like to keep it all through my appleID. If I can’t figure it out I guess I won’t get to use Patreon which is a bummer. Can anyone please advise me on what I’m supposed to do? Thank you for your time and help.

All the tier names are listed, and the roles of what I can assign and change are listed as well. But no matter what I do, the "Update" is grayed out and never clickable.

What months do you notice new people show up to join?

12 Upvotes

I've been posting pretty regularly to my Patreon since I started three years ago but only recently has it reached the point where I can consistently make new patrons to outgrow any I lose by the end of a month. I know a lot of people's growth is different as people come and go frequently and people post consistently at different rates, but I'm curious to hear who tends to see the most uptick of new patrons for any given month and why.

Collections only loading 10 videos at a time

5 Upvotes

Hey there I’m a Patreon user and was wondering if anyone else is having a problem where collections are only loading 10 videos at a time instead of the whole play list ? I’ve seen one other person on here saying they have the same problem so I’m wondering if this is just a bug on patrons end or if anyone knows a fix ?

Getting ready to launch my Patreon, do's and dont's?

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a YouTuber getting ready to launch my Patreon soon and wanted to ask what’s the best way to handle payouts and finances?

I'm not based in the US, and I know Patreon pays out in USD, so I want to make sure I’m not losing a ton to fees or running into issues with connecting a non-US account. Should I be using a personal account, or is it better to go the business route from the start?

Also, are there certain banks or account types that work better for creators on platforms like Patreon, YouTube, or even Ko-fi? I’ve seen some people say PayPal can be tricky.

Would love to hear how you’ve set up your finances, especially if you’re also outside the US or dealing with multiple income sources.

Thanks in advance!

KYC verification on Patreon???

I accidentally found this article in the support center when I was looking for information on another topic. https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/34582075437069-Know-your-customer-KYC-FAQ

Has anyone encountered this check yet? Do they require ID/face photo or text is enough?

Can't edit text in old and new post

2 Upvotes

Appears they've did some sort of an update. Have other experience this problem?

I can start a new post with the text first, followed by uploading images and hit publish with no problems.

But if I start a new post by first uploading images I can't type in any text. The text box isn't even there. If I try to edit an old post, there's no text box to edit there either. I don't want to have to delete an entire post and start again from scratch every time I need to edit something.

On the subject of Gore in Video games... (Corpse Party 2021)

4 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm working on a review for a game called Corpse Party, and, considering that youtube has a very strict content filter, I had the idea to upload an uncensored version to my Patreon page.

Now the issue here is that the game doesn't contain a lot of sexual NSFW content, but it does contain a hell of a lot of gore, and it's really not filtered in any way.

(I would like to mention, that the gore is not glorified in any way, and the one character who does glorify it meets a very... Fitting end for them.)

TWs for the game include extremely bloody gore, suicide, severe mental issues, deranged, psychotic murderers, etc.
It's a Japanese RPG Maker horror game, by the way.

Most of the CGs in the game include really detailed, but still Anime Style images of the... Results of staying in the cursed school the game features.
These include somewhat graphic depictions of suicide (it isn't really suicide, but that's a long story), dead bodies and the lot.

Now I read the community guidelines, and it does mention that depicting the above mentioned self-harm and other harmful subjects as glorified is strictly prohibited.
I know Patreon is a bit more lenient, when it comes to NSFW content, so I'm on the fence about whether or not it can be posted on the site.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone having problems downloading files?

1 Upvotes

Having trouble downloading some .blend files from a creator I've just subscribed to, when I click the link to download it opens a new window saying 'This site can't be reached'. I've tried on the app and on my laptop but hit with the same problem. Reset my router and made sure that I have no extensions that couldn't be messing with the process but nothing seems to be working.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix?

My Patreon payouts keep bouncing

30 Upvotes

Not sure if this is just me or something others are facing, but my Patreon payouts have been a mess lately. I’m not based in the US, and every time a payout is supposed to land, I either get a delay or it just fails entirely.

Support keeps saying it’s on the receiving bank or payment service, but I’ve tried a few already. Local banks, Payoneer, Wise... nothing seems to work reliably. One month it’s fine, the next month it’s rejected with no explanation.

It’s really messing with my cash flow. I’ve had to pause upgrades and explain to patrons why their rewards were late. Has anyone found a setup that actually works consistently for Patreon payouts?

building a following Finally made it to 10 Patrons!

Post image
40 Upvotes

I started my Patreon over a year ago, had basically one patron and never posted because I didn’t think people would join.

Had a reckoning with myself that people won’t join if I don’t put work into it, so I decided to try going full steam ahead. It’s been about a month of me actually posting things (I’m an art page) and I got 7 patrons this past 30 days! About half paid, half free. But I’m overjoyed and over the moon that people are coming and it’s starting to become something!!

It’s really inspired me to create more and I find myself coming out of a creative rut now that I have a place to look forward to sharing my work. I can make and post art on Patreon that I wouldn’t post on insta because I’d be worried about not matching my page’s look and my business image. I have 14k on insta so I definitely feel pressure to create a curated look.

So this is just me feeling excited about reaching my first small milestone. I have a lot to learn still and I’m still developing my style on Patreon, but I’m really happy! My goal for all of 2026 is to get 100 patrons and I really think I can do it!!

What am I doing wrong? Loosing subscribers

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I started my patreon 3 months ago focusing on sims 4 primarily bimbos. The last month has been a rollercoster. I make around 4 sims a week with 3 being exclusive and one being free. I post on loverslab, twiiter, blusky, devianart, reddit, tumblr & pinterest. I've tried upgrading my graphics for the page, posters i use to promote my sims & packaging sims better with their own previews. My tiers are 1$ - 2 sims a month , 5$ - all sims for the month, 9.5$ - all sims and an exclusive one made per their instructions. Is my content/style not interesting enough or what am I doing wrong?

Have recent updated caused problems with post layouts?

5 Upvotes

Just recently I've noticed quite a few formatting errors have appeared on many of my text posts. Images that used to be inbetween text are now placed at the bottom, huge spaces have appeared between titles and body text. This is happening to posts that have already been published, which is quite frustrating.

I'm seeing a pop up notification from Patreon saying that "We've updated image formatting" and that "all images will now be on their own lines" however this shouldn't affect things like titles, line spaces and images that are already on their own lines.

Has anyone else experienced this or have had any luck with Patreon customer service? Thanks
