Patreon is memberships. One-time downloads on that stack mix poorly with recurring billing. 5–12% depending on plan; monthly None. One-time file perks can move; monthly memberships stay on Patreon.

What does not transfer from Patreon
One-time file perks can move; monthly memberships stay on Patreon. Link the shop from the Patreon about box for a-la-carte downloads.
When Patreon is still the right tool
Keep Patreon for recurring memberships. Move a-la-carte file products that should not sit behind a monthly paywall.
If you move to Quickshops
Connect Stripe, upload the file, and the buyer downloads after payment. Change price or copy with the AI store agent (Telegram on Pro). Nothing publishes until you approve.
Pro is €29/mo with 0% platform fees. Fee calculator.
