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.
You can have multiple Patreon accounts if you'd prefer to keep different things separate — whether you're a creator, a fan, or both.
Before creating a second account, it's worth noting that you can manage both your creator page and your memberships and/or purchases under a single Patreon account and login.
If you are a creator and want multiple people to manage a single page, Team Accounts lets you add collaborators to your existing page.
If you do manage multiple accounts, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Accounts must have different email addresses to log in
- Your accounts are not connected, and information cannot be transferred between them
- Accounts cannot be merged
- Email addresses can only be tied to one account, so you can't reassign an email that's already in use
- If you're a creator with a founder's account, this founding status does not extend to any new accounts you create
