How to Cancel Patreon

Need to cancel your Patreon to a creator? This guide will walk you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Whether you subscribed through Patreon's website, we'll show you exactly how to cancel.

Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to the creator's content until the end of your current billing period. You'll stop being charged for that creator's membership after cancellation.

Step 1: Sign in to Your Patreon Account

Go to www.patreon.com and sign in with your Patreon account credentials.

Step 2: Access Settings

Click on your profile picture in the bottom-left corner (or top-right on some layouts) to switch to your member profile, then click on "Settings" from the left-side menu. Alternatively, you can directly visit www.patreon.com/settings.

Step 3: Navigate to Memberships Tab

In the Settings page, click on the "Memberships" tab. You'll see a list of all creators you're supporting.

Step 4: Find the Membership to Cancel

Scroll through your memberships and find the creator whose membership you want to cancel. Click on "View Details" or "Edit" next to that membership.

Step 5: Cancel Membership

Click "Cancel membership" or "Cancel Membership". Patreon will show you information about when your access will end.

Step 6: Confirm Cancellation

Review the cancellation details carefully. Patreon may ask for feedback about why you're canceling. If you want to proceed, follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation. You'll receive a confirmation that your membership has been canceled.

Troubleshooting

I can't find the Cancel button

• Make sure you're signed in to the correct Patreon account
• Make sure you're viewing your member profile (not creator profile)
• Try accessing the settings page directly: www.patreon.com/settings
• Look for "Memberships" tab in Settings
• Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again

I want to cancel all memberships

Patreon manages each creator membership separately. You'll need to cancel each membership individually by going to Settings > Memberships and canceling each one.

I want to pause instead of cancel

Patreon doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and rejoin anytime.

I'm being charged after cancellation

• Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
• Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
• Make sure you clicked "Cancel membership" and confirmed
• Contact Patreon Support if charges continue after the cancellation date

When will I lose access?

You'll retain access to the creator's content until the end of your current billing period. After that, you'll lose access to the creator's exclusive content.

Can I get a refund?

Patreon does not typically offer refunds since payments go directly to creators. Contact Patreon Support if you have specific concerns about a charge.

Can I rejoin later?

Yes, you can rejoin any creator's membership anytime by visiting their Patreon page and joining again.
