To become a patron simply create an account, add your preferred payment method and join a creator’s membership!

There are three types of membership subscriptions. One is a monthly subscription where you pay per month. The second is a per creation subscription where you pay based on the number of creations a creator posts in that month. You can set a limit on the number of creations you pay for in a single month under the per subscription model. The third membership option is an annual membership, where you pay for a year of access up front, at a discounted rate. Not all offerings allow for all three subscription types. Your options will be presented to you in the payment flow.

The timing and amount of each membership subscription depends on the type of membership agreement you enter into, and the creator you support. You can see the details as you join, as well as in the receipt sent to you after each successful payment. You can view all your active membership subscriptions and billing history on your membership page.

You may cancel your membership payments at any time. Annual memberships may be cancelled, or increased, but not lowered. Terminating or lowering the tier support of membership will go into effect in the subsequent (not current) payment term, except for annual memberships which can be terminated or increased but not lowered. Increasing your payment to a higher tier level in an annual membership will go into effect in the current payment term. When you increase your payment for an annual membership during the term, you will get a credit for any payment already made in that term.

For monthly or per creation payments, canceling your support may result in your loss of access to a creator’s patron-only posts and benefits.

These include when you cancel your membership subscription, your payment method fails, the creator blocks you, or the creator deletes their account. We are not required to allow you to be a patron of any particular creator.

Creators’ memberships vary and we have limited control over the quality and specific offerings. We attempt to screen for fraudulent creator pages, but cannot guarantee the identity of creators or the validity of any claims they make. We appreciate your help reporting suspicious creator pages so we can keep Patreon safe.

If you are located in the jurisdiction in which Patreon is required to charge and collect tax (e.g. VAT or, sales tax), then this tax is added to the total charge. Except in limited circumstances, this tax is shown when you set up the initial membership subscription. Patreon remits all tax collected to the applicable taxing authority. As tax is largely dependant on your location, you are responsible for keeping your address complete and up to date.

Depending on your location, some banks may charge you a foreign transaction fee for your membership subscription. Patreon does not control this charge, but it is typically around 3% . Please contact your bank for more information.

Refunds. Our policy is No Refunds, though we will allow for some exceptions where refunds are granted in our sole discretion.
