Patreon has introduced an updated app version allowing users to make purchases through the web, which is a significant shift from previously mandatory in-app payments through Apple. This update comes after a court ruling that requires Apple to permit app developers to offer links for alternative payment methods. Users can now choose to pay using methods like credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal, with Apple's payment option relegated to a subordinate position on the app. This change is set to help creators by potentially increasing revenue from subscriptions.
The updated version of Patreon's app allows users to make purchases via the web, bypassing Apple's in-app payment system and offering alternative payment methods.
This change may lead to an increase in users opting for web payments instead of using Apple's in-app purchases, following the legal ruling favoring alternative payment mechanisms.
Patreon confirmed that the new checkout experience would roll out to U.S. users, enhancing payment flexibility for creators.
