You’re in good hands. Over 20 communities have successfully made the move from Patreon (and other platforms) to Metafy — and yours can too.

This guide breaks down the smoothest path for migrating your community, minimizing risk, and setting you up for even bigger success.


TL;DR

The fastest, most efficient way to move your Patreon community to Metafy is by giving them free access to their first month on Metafy.

Why move to Metafy?

If you’re here, you probably already see the upside. But just in case:

  • Better Tools: Create standalone Guides, run Live Events, automate coaching sessions, and organize everything inside your own Metafy Community.

  • Lower Fees:

    • Core: 8% fee per transaction.

    • Pro: $30/month and you keep 100% of your earnings across all products.

  • Built for Gamers: Metafy is where your gaming audience already feels at home.

Worried about losing subs or content?
We get it — and we’ve seen creators not only keep their supporters but grow them after switching. Plus, you'll keep more of your money.


Let’s Get Started

Step 1: Set up your Metafy account

First, create your page and content on Metafy:

Once your Supporter Tiers and Topics are ready, you're all set to start migrating your community.


Step 2: Port over your Patreon content

Need help moving a lot of content? We got you. Reach out to Support on Discord and our team can assist!

Here's the basic flow:

  1. Review: Which Patreon content is still relevant?

  2. Decide Formats:

    • What becomes a Post?

    • What should be upgraded to a Guide?

    • What Posts can merge into Chapters inside a Guide?

  3. Upload your content as Posts and Guides.

📚 What’s a Guide?
Guides are your chapter-by-chapter video or written products. You can sell them once or grant free access to your subs. Plus, every time you update, your community automatically gets notified.


Step 3: Launch Your Move

The best transition timeline? About 30–60 days. Some creators leave Patreon open in the background while gradually shifting everyone over.

Here’s the 3-step strategy:

1. Offer a free month with a Promo Code

Send a Transition Post or DM to your Patrons explaining:

  • Why you’re moving

  • The value they’re getting

  • Their free month on Metafy

Sample post:

2. Drop exclusive content on Metafy

Make your first big content release (e.g., video, tournament recap) exclusive to Metafy to drive excitement.

3. Update your Patreon

  • Pin a Transition Post announcing the move.

  • Update Tiers:

    • Create a "Now on Metafy!" Tier linking to your new page.

    • Limit the old Tiers' seats to protect zombie subs but block new signups.

    • (Optional) Close old Tiers altogether and leave only your Metafy Tier.


Step 4: Go Public

Once your base is ready, it’s time to make it official:

  • Add Metafy links to your YouTube descriptions, Twitter bio, Twitch panels, etc.

  • Launch your exclusive content.

  • Download Metafy logos and graphics to personalize your branding.

🎯 Pro Tip:
Treat your move like a campaign, not just a one-time post. Keep reminding your community over 30–60 days through posts, DMs, and social updates.
