How to Cancel a Patreon Membership

Patreon memberships are per-creator and renew on each creator's billing date until you cancel. The catch many people miss: if you joined through the iOS or Android app, your payment may route through the app store, so canceling inside Patreon alone won't stop the charge. Use the steps that match how you pay. Patreon updates its layout periodically, so verify the current steps on the official help page linked below.

How to cancel, step by step

1Log in to Patreon

On the website, sign in, then click your profile photo in the bottom-left corner and choose Settings.

2Open the Memberships tab

Select Memberships to see every creator you're currently supporting and their next billing dates.

3Pick the creator to cancel

Click View details or Edit on the membership you want to stop. Each creator is canceled separately.

4Choose Edit or Cancel payment

Select Cancel your payment. Patreon often shows a retention or 'Are you sure?' screen - read past it to reach the actual cancel button.

5Confirm the cancellation

Confirm to finish. You'll keep access to paid content until the end of the current billing period.

Common gotchas to avoid

Cancelled? Make sure it stays gone

Forgot you were even paying for this? You are probably paying for others too.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose access right away?

No. You keep the paid tier's content until the end of the billing period you already paid for, then access ends unless you rejoin.

Does canceling refund my last payment?

Generally no - Patreon charges are typically not refunded on cancel. Canceling before your next billing date is what prevents the upcoming charge.

How do I know which payment method I used?

If you don't see the subscription under Patreon's Memberships, or it reappears after canceling, check your Apple or Google subscriptions - the charge is likely routed through the app store.
