Creators are now required to combine profiles

Are you a Patreon creator? From July 6, if you haven't combined your creator and fan profiles yet, you won't be able to use Patreon as usual, including posting and receiving payouts. That means some steps in this article may look different depending on whether your accounts are already combined. To learn more, visit our guide to combine your creator and fan profiles into a single identity. Or if you’re ready, combine your profiles now. Note that if you created your Patreon account recently, you may already have a single profile. If you don't see a prompt to combine, this doesn't apply to you.

Here's how to add your custom RSS link to the Apple Podcast app in order to get access to your creator's patron-only content! This is a great option to listen to your creator's member-only audio benefits on your mobile device.
