Understanding Patreon Ireland Charges
Unreviewed registry note: A line item reading CKO * PATREON IRELAND on your bank or credit card statement represents a Patreon Creator Community Membership Pledge. Patreon is a membership platform that lets fans support independent creators, such as podcasters, video producers, musicians, and writers, through recurring financial subscriptions. To handle billing across Europe and international card networks, Patreon routes transactions through Patreon Ireland Limited using Checkout.com payment gateways. That setup results in the CKO * prefix and the Ireland designation on your billing statement.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge usually occurs on a monthly recurring schedule, typically on the first day of the month or on the exact date you joined a creator's membership tier. Subscription tiers generally range from $3.00 to $50.00 per month depending on the exclusive content, community perks, or Discord access chosen. In addition to monthly pledges, the charge can represent an annual membership renewal that you purchased months earlier. It can also stem from a one-time purchase of a standalone digital product, such as a video download or podcast archive.
