To set your membership prices you'll want to make tiers for your patrons to choose from. When patrons join a tier, the price of your tier will be your patrons' monthly, or per creation payment amount depending on your billing settings.

Making a tier
While logged in to your Patreon creator account, walk through the following:
- Click the Edit your page button in the top banner.
- Select Tiers from the menu.
- Click Add tier to make a custom tier. If it's your first tier, you can choose one of our templated tiers to get started.
- Customize your tier! Give your tier a price, title, benefits, and brief description of what patrons can expect. Note that custom benefits that you add are only visible to you as the creator.
To can add a benefit to a tier for tracking:
- Head to the Tiers section of your Creator Page Editor.
- Click the Add benefit button.
- You can select from benefits you have already added, or select "browse recommended benefits" to choose from our templated benefits or create a custom benefit for tracking.
- If you choose to create a custom benefit, a form will appear where you can fill in the benefit name and delivery schedule. Note that per creation creators can only set up one-time delivery benefits.
- Click Add benefit.
- Save tier to update your tier.
. If there are important benefits you want your patrons to know about, highlight them in the tier description.
Why can't I switch my benefit from one-time to monthly?
Once you've indicated that a benefit is "one-time only" you won't be able to edit the benefit to be a recurring "monthly."
Advanced tier options
The tier settings in the Advanced section are optional, and we recommend reading through these options to see what might work for you. To view the advanced tier options, click the Advanced drop-down.
Are you sending patrons physical benefits? Collect patrons' shipping address
If you select the Shipping address checkbox we'll automatically gather your patrons' shipping addresses when the join your tier.
Planning on adding physical benefits in the future? Ask for your patrons' shipping addresses now. You can add this requirement to your tier later. That said, existing patrons' will need to edit their pledge to add this information.
Limit the number of patrons who can join
You can limit the number of patrons who can join your tiers. Simply click the Patron limit checkbox, and enter the maximum number of patrons who can join your tier.
Add Discord
You'll already need a Discord account and server set up before connecting in your Tier. Once you've done that, you can connect to Discord and add roles directly from the individual tiers.
Not ready to publish your tier?
If you’re working on a tier, but aren’t quite ready for it to be live, you can always unpublish it once you've saved your changes. Once you’ve saved your tier, just click the Edit option. Scroll to the bottom and click Unpublish. Your tier will still be editable, but it won’t appear on your page for patrons to choose from.
