Creators are now required to combine profiles
As part of Patreon's Network Discovery updates, creators and members will gradually see a more unified experience across Patreon. That means some steps in this article may look different depending on whether your accounts are already combined.
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.
Who does this apply to
- Creators (including creators who are also members and support other creators): Combining accounts creates a single identity for both creating and membership activities. You can combine your accounts now through July 6, 2026 (previously June 30, 2026). Starting on July 6, 2026, combining will be required
- Members-only (no creator page): You may notice navigation updates as these changes roll out. Once the creators you support join the network, you'll also get access to a new feed. No action is needed from your side
What may look different for creators after combining profiles
- One identity: Your name and profile image are the same everywhere, whether you're creating or interacting as a member
- One inbox: Notifications and messages are unified in a single place
- Updated navigation on desktop and mobile: You may see updated labels and entry points that reflect a single, combined experience, including fewer profile-switching steps
Learn what's changing and how to get started in our article about combining your creator and member profiles into a single identity.
This article will take you through easily making changes to your posts by visiting your Library on Desktop, or visiting your Patreon on the iOS and Android App. When editing an already published post, be sure to save your post to go live with your edits.

If you use per-creation billing (Legacy) and you've checked the option to charge members for a post and delete that post within the same month, any pending member bills will be deleted. In this case, members won't be charged if you delete your post within the same month it was created. It's not possible to retroactively bill members for posts you've published as unpaid.
