New information clears up some confusion around an incoming change to Crunchyroll's online store, which will see some features locked behind a new subscription paywall. Fan-tier subscribers will still be able to "browse" the store following an August 14 shift, but they will not actually be allowed to buy specific items.
A source close to the situation explains that "access to shop" the new Crunchyroll Store will be removed from Fan subscriptions in August alongside all benefits for discounts and free shipping.
