Important Update:
This feature was deprecated on Friday, September 20, 2019. The information provided below is for context and will be archived shortly. If you activated the Reddit integration on your creator page prior to this, it has automatically been removed from your account. Your patrons that claimed the Reddit flair you offered will no longer see the flair on their end as well. Please note that only the integration and flair are going away - your patrons' memberships will not change, and they will still be part of your Reddit community.
If you'd like to learn more about different ways to engage with your patrons, you can check out our Discord or Discourse integrations.
Patreon’s Reddit integration provides special flair exclusively for patrons within a subreddit (Reddit community) that you moderate. It is easily enabled in a one-time setup process for your membership tiers of choice.
To enable Reddit, follow the steps below.
Step 1: First, you’ll need to make sure that you are a moderator of your Reddit community, and that your Reddit community is updated to the new Reddit design.
In order to customize your subreddit and set up your profile on the new desktop redesign, you will need to login to Reddit.com and do the following:
1. Go to your subreddit page
2. Click Mod Tools on the top right and select Customize Appearance
3. Change the style of the community and upload an icon for the community
4. Then click your username and go to User Settings then click Profile
5. Entire your display name and upload an avatar and banner
Step 2: Navigate to your Tiers tab and locate the tier that you would like to enable Reddit on and select Edit Tier. Please note that you will have to manually add this to each tier manually!
Step 3: Scroll down until you find the Apps section and select the Reddit option.
Step 4: Once you select the Reddit icon, click Connect via the pop up that appears. If you are not already logged into Reddit, you will have to log in at this point.
Step 5: Give Patreon the required permissions by selecting Allow.
Please note: you must be the moderator of that community in order to link to it. At the moment, there is also a limitation of 150,000 subscribers per community.
Step 7: Once you are back in the tier editor, you will then see a checkbox to enable patron flair on Reddit. Check the box to add it to the tier. Don’t forget to click the Save Tier button! Please note that this will add it to that tier only.
Step 8: An email will be sent automatically to your existing patrons of a tier for which you enabled Reddit.
