Need to edit your membership, or increase your Tier level? You can edit your Tier, or membership amount while logged into your Patreon account.
When you increase your membership, you won't be charged more than your new membership in a given month. Say you increase from $5 to $10 within the same month, you will only be charged $10 for that month (not, $15).
In this guide, we'll show you how to edit your membership on the following devices:
Updating your membership on Desktop
Step 1: Hover over your profile image in the upper-right corner. From the drop-down menu that appears, click My memberships. In the Active Memberships section all of your current memberships will be listed.
Step 2: Click Edit next to the membership you'd like to update.
Step 3: You’ll be taken to the payment confirmation page where you’ll see the details of your current membership amount, and Tier. To edit your Tier level, click the Edit link to the right of “Your Tier.”
You can cancel your membership using the Edit or Cancel Payment link under the Update button.
Step 4: After clicking Edit choose your new Tier by clicking the Select button under the Tier level you’d like to join.
Step 5: Review your billing summary!
Before confirming your update, be sure to read through the billing details of your membership. The billing details are listed on the right-hand side of the confirmation page. This summary includes; payment method, $ amount of membership, VAT (typically EU patrons), and billing schedule. Once you confirmed, your new billing details will take effect immediately.
Increasing your membership to a charge up front creator? You'll be charged the difference between your current membership amount, and your new membership amount. So if you paid $5 this month, and increase to $10 this month, you'll be charged the difference of $5 immediately (for a monthly total of $10). Once your increase payment processes, you'll have access to your new Tier content instantly.
Step 6: Click Update to confirm your changes. After you confirm your changes you’ll be taken to your creator's Thanks page. We'll also send a confirmation email to your Patreon account email address also detailing your changes.
Updating your membership on the Patreon app
Step 1: While logged into the Patreon app, swipe left or right until you find the creator you’d like to edit your membership to.
Step 2: Click the three vertical dots in the right-hand corner of the page, and select Edit $ pledge from the menu that appears.
Step 3: Select the Edit link to the right of your current Tier. Scroll down, and select your new Tier. Continue scrolling down and click Update.
Note: You can increase your membership amount without selecting a new Tier, by tapping into the dollar field under Choose What You Pay.
Note: Increasing just the dollar amount of your membership will not grant you access to the benefits, or posts for that Tier. In order to gain access to posts for a specific Tier, you'll need to join that Tier.
Step 4: Scroll down, and review the billing details of your membership. This summary includes; payment method, $ amount of pledge, VAT (typically EU patrons), and billing details.
Click Update. Your new billing details will take effect immediately.
