Frequently asked questions
Cancel Patreon: The Right Way
How to cancel Patreon and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What Patreon is and why malaysians use it
Patreon is a membership platform that connects creators with their supporters through recurring monthly payments. Since its launch in 2013, the service has grown to include millions of patrons worldwide, including thousands in Malaysia who fund artists, podcasters, writers, and video producers. Unlike traditional subscriptions where you purchase a fixed product, Patreon memberships tie you directly to a creator's page, and your payment goes to them each month until you cancel.
How Patreon memberships work for malaysian users
When you support a creator on Patreon, you choose a tier they have set up, and Patreon charges your payment method on the same date each month. That tier typically unlocks exclusive content such as private posts, early-release videos, bonus podcasts, Discord access, digital downloads, or behind-the-scenes updates. The creator sets their own pricing, so there is no standard Malaysia rate across the platform. If you support multiple creators, you receive multiple charges on your billing cycle, each tied to a separate membership.
Your payment method matters here. If you signed up through the Patreon website directly, you are billed through your chosen card or digital wallet. If you subscribed via Apple's App Store or Google Play, your charges route through their billing systems instead. This distinction is critical when cancelling because you must cancel from the same platform where you started the membership. Yafee has seen countless users struggle because they cancel in the wrong place and the billing never stops.
Patreon pricing in malaysia and what you actually pay
Patreon does not publish a single price list for Malaysia because every creator controls their tier costs. A tier might cost RM5, RM15, RM50, or more per month, depending on what the creator offers. On top of your chosen tier price, Patreon deducts a platform fee from creators (currently 10% for new creator pages), but you as the patron see only the tier amount. Your bank may also apply foreign exchange adjustments if the payment processes in USD, and cross-border fees may apply depending on your card issuer.
This is where transparency becomes important. Before you cancel, log in and check your current billing history to see exactly what you are paying and to which creator. You will need this information if a dispute arises later. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your active tier and the next billing date before you proceed with cancellation.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Patreon in malaysia
Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) and the Consumer Protection (Electronic Transactions) Regulations 2012 protect your right to cancel subscription services, including Patreon memberships. You have the legal foundation to stop recurring charges, and the platform must respect that right.
What the consumer protection act 1999 says about cancellation
Under Section 56 of the CPA 1999, any supplier of services must cease charging you once you cancel a subscription. The Act defines a "contract of supply" to include memberships and recurring services. Patreon, as a platform facilitating these memberships, is bound by this framework regardless of whether the creator is overseas. Your legal right to cancel is absolute and unconditional, and you must not face barriers to exercising that right.
Furthermore, the Consumer Protection (Electronic Transactions) Regulations 2012 mandate that subscription cancellation must be as easy as subscription itself. If you can sign up with two clicks, cancellation cannot require five steps or a phone call. This principle applies to web-based cancellations and mobile app cancellations equally. If Patreon makes cancellation deliberately difficult, that practice may breach the CPA 1999.
Your legal position when cancelling Patreon
You have the right to cancel immediately. Patreon membership is a continuous service contract, and you can terminate it at any point without penalty. You do not need to wait until the end of a billing cycle, and you do not need a reason. The moment you cancel, Patreon (or the app store, if you subscribed there) must stop charging you on your next billing date. If you are charged after you cancel, you have the right to dispute that charge with your bank and request a refund.
If Patreon refuses to cancel or continues charging, you can lodge a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FOMCA) or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP). Both bodies enforce the CPA 1999 and can investigate breaches. Yafee advises keeping records of your cancellation request and any charges that follow to support your complaint.
How to cancel Patreon on the web
If you signed up directly through Patreon's website, you must cancel from your account settings on the web. This is the most straightforward cancellation path and typically takes two to three minutes.
Step 1: log in to your Patreon account
Visit patreon.com and log in using your email address and password. If you use two-factor authentication, complete that step. Once you are logged in, you will see your dashboard with your memberships listed.
Step 2: navigate to your membership settings
On the left-side menu, click "Settings." If you do not see Settings, click the three horizontal lines (menu icon) at the top left. From the Settings menu, select "Memberships" or "My memberships." You will see each creator you are currently supporting listed with their name, tier, and billing date.
Step 3: select the membership you want to cancel
Identify the creator whose membership you wish to cancel. If you support multiple creators, you must cancel each membership separately. Click on the creator's membership to open the details view. This screen shows your current tier, the renewal date, and the amount you are charged each month.
Step 4: click the cancel button and confirm
Look for a button labeled "Cancel membership" or "Cancel your membership." Click it. Patreon will then ask you to confirm the cancellation, sometimes offering a prompt that asks why you are leaving. You do not need to provide a reason, but you can if you wish. Click the final "Confirm cancellation" or "Yes, cancel" button. Patreon will display a confirmation message.
Step 5: verify the cancellation was successful
Return to your Memberships list. The cancelled creator should no longer appear in your active memberships, or it should show a "Cancellation pending" or "Cancelled" status. Take a screenshot of this confirmation for your records. You will receive a confirmation email from Patreon within a few minutes. Save this email as proof of your cancellation.
How to cancel Patreon through apple app store
If you subscribed to a Patreon membership using an iPhone or iPad, your payment is handled by Apple's billing system, and you must cancel through the App Store, not through Patreon itself. Cancelling on Patreon's website will not stop your Apple charges.
Step 1: open the app store app on your iPhone or iPad
Tap the App Store icon on your home screen. Ensure you are using the official Apple App Store, not a web browser.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
Tap the profile icon (usually a circle with your photo or initials) in the top right corner of the App Store. Tap "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.
Step 3: select "Subscriptions"
On the Account Settings screen, tap "Subscriptions." You will see a list of all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID, including any Patreon memberships you manage through the App Store.
Step 4: find your Patreon membership and tap it
Locate "Patreon" or the specific creator name in your subscriptions list. Tap to open the subscription details. This screen shows your current plan, renewal date, and the amount Apple charges each billing period.
Step 5: tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm
Tap the "Cancel subscription" button. Apple will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel and may offer options to downgrade instead. If you want to cancel completely, tap "Confirm" or "Yes, cancel." Apple will display a confirmation message stating when your subscription ends (typically at the end of the current billing cycle, not immediately).
Step 6: take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation
Apple's Subscriptions screen will update to show your Patreon membership as "Expires on [date]." Take a screenshot of this confirmation and save the confirmation email Apple sends you. This is your proof of cancellation.
How to cancel Patreon through google play
If you subscribed via an Android phone or tablet using Google Play, your billing goes through Google, and you must cancel from Google Play, not from Patreon's website.
Step 1: open the google play store app on your android device
Tap the Google Play Store icon on your home screen or in your app drawer. Make sure you are in the official Play Store app.
Step 2: access your account menu
Tap the profile icon (usually a circle) in the top right corner of the Play Store. From the menu, tap "Payments and subscriptions."
Step 3: select "Subscriptions"
Under "Payments and subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions." You will see a list of all active subscriptions on your Google Play account.
Step 4: find Patreon and open the membership
Tap "Patreon" or the specific creator name from your subscriptions. Google Play will display the subscription details, including the renewal date and amount charged each billing cycle.
Step 5: tap "Cancel subscription"
Tap the "Cancel subscription" button. Google will ask you to confirm and may suggest reasons for cancellation. Select your reason (optional) and tap "Cancel subscription" again to finalize.
Step 6: confirm cancellation in your account
Return to your Subscriptions list. The Patreon membership should now show "Expires on [date]" instead of an active renewal date. Save a screenshot and check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play. Yafee recommends keeping both the screenshot and the email for dispute purposes.
What happens after you cancel Patreon
Once you cancel, the process does not end immediately. Understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from unexpected charges and clarifies what access you retain.
Your access after cancellation
In most cases, you retain access to your patron membership content until the end of your current billing cycle. If your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, you typically keep access until the 15th. After that date, Patreon removes your membership tier and you lose access to exclusive content, Discord roles, and other perks tied to that membership level. You will still be able to view publicly posted content from the creator, but locked posts remain inaccessible.
Consequently, if you want to download any files, messages, or content before access expires, do so immediately after cancellation. Patreon does not provide a grace period once your billing cycle ends, and the creator cannot restore your access retroactively. Yafee recommends downloading everything you need within 48 hours of cancelling.
When your final charge arrives
Your final charge will post to your account on your regular billing date, even if you cancelled a few days before that date. This is standard practice for subscription services: the system processes charges based on the date you joined, not the date you cancelled. If you joined on the 10th and cancelled on the 8th of the following month, you will still be charged on the 10th for that partial month. After this charge, no further charges should appear on your account.
If you are charged again after your final billing date, contact Patreon immediately at [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charge details. If Patreon does not refund the charge within 14 days, dispute it with your bank using the chargeback process.
Refunds after cancellation
Patreon does not offer refunds for the most recent billing cycle once you cancel, because you have had access to the patron content for the duration of that cycle. Under the CPA 1999, refunds are due only if you did not receive the service or if the service was not delivered as described. Since you received access to your tier's content for the full month, Patreon's refusal to refund is legally defensible.
Nevertheless, if you cancelled within 24 hours of being charged and genuinely did not access any content, you may request a refund from the creator or Patreon support. Frame this as a goodwill request rather than a legal entitlement. Yafee sees that some creators offer partial refunds in these circumstances, though Patreon itself does not mandate them.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancelling should be straightforward, but small errors often derail the process and leave users confused about whether their membership truly ended. You are not alone if you have made one of these mistakes.
Mistake 1: cancelling on the wrong platform
The most common error is cancelling through Patreon's website when your subscription is actually billed through Apple or Google Play, or vice versa. When you cancel in the wrong place, the web/app system does not communicate with the other, and your billing continues. Always check your original confirmation email to confirm where you subscribed, then cancel from that exact platform. If in doubt, check all three places (web, App Store, Google Play) to be certain.
Mistake 2: thinking you have cancelled when you have only downgraded
Some users click "Modify tier" or "Change membership" and downgrade to a free or lower tier, thinking this stops charges. It does not. Downgrading reduces your tier cost but does not cancel the membership entirely. You must explicitly click "Cancel membership" or "Cancel subscription" to stop all charges. Look for the word "cancel," not "change" or "modify."
Mistake 3: not taking a screenshot of the confirmation
Patreon's confirmation messages are easy to miss or forget. If a dispute arises later, your screenshot of the cancellation confirmation is your only proof that you acted. Take a screenshot immediately after cancellation and save your confirmation email. This is especially important if you later need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with FOMCA.
Mistake 4: cancelling only one membership when you support multiple creators
If you support three creators, you have three separate active memberships, each with its own cancellation button. Cancelling one membership does not cancel the others. If you want to stop all Patreon charges, you must navigate to each creator's membership and cancel individually. Use your Memberships list to count how many active memberships you have before you start, and check off each one as you cancel.
Troubleshooting: what to do if you cannot cancel
In rare cases, the cancellation button may not appear, or you may encounter an error message. If this happens, you have clear remedies.
If patreon's website or app shows an error
Try cancelling in a different web browser or clear your browser cache and cookies, then log back in. If the error persists, contact Patreon support at [email protected] with a description of the error and a screenshot. Patreon typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. Explain that you are trying to cancel your membership and cannot access the cancellation function; request manual cancellation by support staff. In accordance with the CPA 1999, Patreon must provide you with an alternative cancellation method if the primary method is unavailable.
If apple or google does not show your Patreon subscription
This typically means your subscription is managed through Patreon's web billing, not through the app store. Log in to patreon.com directly and cancel from there instead. If you truly subscribed through the app but the subscription no longer appears in your app store account, it may have already been cancelled or expired. Check your email for any cancellation or expiration notifications from Apple or Google.
If you are charged after cancellation
Contact Patreon support immediately with your cancellation confirmation. If they do not refund within 14 days, dispute the charge with your bank by calling your card issuer's customer service line. Provide your bank with the cancellation confirmation as proof that you cancelled. Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation. In Malaysia, your bank is required under the CPA 1999 to investigate and resolve billing disputes within 30 days.
Pricing and membership comparison table
Since Patreon memberships are creator-specific, the table below shows typical Malaysian patron spending patterns rather than fixed Patreon prices. Actual costs depend on the creator you support.
| Membership tier | Typical cost (MYR) | Content included | Cancellation method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | RM0 | Public posts only | No cancellation needed |
| Basic supporter tier | RM5-RM10 per month | Early access posts, exclusive updates | Web, Apple, or Google Play |
| Mid-level supporter tier | RM15-RM30 per month | Bonus videos, Discord access, monthly livestream | Web, Apple, or Google Play |
| Premium tier | RM50+ per month | All above plus direct messages, custom content requests | Web, Apple, or Google Play |
| Creator (for supporters on web) | Variable | Custom per creator | Patreon web account |

- Cancel from the same platform where you subscribed (web with web, app store with app store).
- Verify that the cancellation confirmation screen appears and take a screenshot.
- Save the confirmation email from Patreon or your app store.
- Download any files or messages you need before your access expires at the end of your current billing cycle.

- If you are charged after cancellation, dispute the charge with your bank within 30 days and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Contact Patreon support and escalation routes in malaysia
If you encounter problems cancelling or are charged after cancellation, you have multiple escalation routes under Malaysian consumer law.
Patreon support contact details
Patreon's primary support channel is email at [email protected]. The Help Center (support.patreon.com) contains articles on billing, membership, and cancellation, but does not include live chat or a phone number. Support staff typically respond within 24 to 48 hours. Include your creator name, membership tier, billing date, and a clear description of your issue. If you are disputing a charge, attach a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
If Patreon does not resolve your complaint
If Patreon does not respond or refuses to fix a billing error, lodge a formal complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FOMCA) at 03-2160 6166 or visit their office in Kuala Lumpur. FOMCA enforces the CPA 1999 and can investigate Patreon's conduct. Alternatively, submit a complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) at 1-800-88-5224. Both bodies have authority to demand refunds and impose penalties on companies that breach consumer protection law.
Dispute with your bank
If Patreon continues to charge you after cancellation and support does not refund within 14 days, contact your bank immediately. Call your card issuer's customer service line and request to dispute the charge (also called a chargeback). Provide your cancellation confirmation as proof. Your bank will open an investigation and typically resolves it within 30 days. In Malaysia, banks are required to investigate billing disputes under the CPA 1999 and the Financial Services Act 2013.
Should you cancel Patreon? when to walk away
Cancelling is right for you if your circumstances have changed or you no longer value the membership. Here is when to consider ending your membership.
Reasons to cancel Patreon
- You no longer consume the creator's content or have moved on to other creators.
- Your financial situation has tightened and you need to cut discretionary spending.
- You signed up during a promotional period and the price has increased significantly.
- The creator has stopped releasing the content types you subscribed for (e.g. monthly podcast has become sporadic).
- You subscribed by accident or during a trial and did not intend to continue.
- The creator has left Patreon or converted their content to a different platform.
Reasons to keep your membership
- You actively use the exclusive content and exclusive community access every month.
- The creator is your primary entertainment or education source and you value supporting their work directly.
- You are locked into a long-term project with the creator that requires ongoing access.
- The monthly cost is negligible relative to your income and you genuinely enjoy the content.
Remember that the decision to cancel is entirely yours, and Malaysian consumer law backs your absolute right to do so without justification. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel Patreon memberships quickly and securely, and if you decide cancellation is right for you, the steps above will guide you through the process with confidence.
Final summary and next steps
Patreon membership cancellation in Malaysia is governed by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Consumer Protection (Electronic Transactions) Regulations 2012. You have an unambiguous legal right to cancel at any time, and the platform must cease charging you on your next billing date. The key to a smooth cancellation is identifying which platform handles your billing (web, Apple App Store, or Google Play) and cancelling from that same platform.
Follow the step-by-step process outlined above for your specific platform, take screenshots of your confirmation, and save your email receipt. If you are charged after cancellation, dispute the charge with your bank within 30 days and provide your cancellation confirmation as proof. If Patreon refuses to cooperate, escalate to FOMCA or KPDNHEP, both of which have enforcement power under Malaysian consumer law.
