About Upfront Charging

How will this feature change how new patrons are charged?

New Patrons will be charged on the day they become patron, giving them access to all content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the beginning of the month.

Example: A patron joins Patreon community on February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day they join, February 25th, for February patronage. On March 1st, the Patron will be charged $10 for March patronage.

How will this feature change how existing patrons are charged?

Existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual. If they edit their membership, this won't trigger them to be charged, however, they will be charged their total membership amount on the 1st.

Example: A patron joins Patreon community on January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th, creator change payment type so that patrons are charged up front. The patron will be charged $10 on March 1st for March patronage. On the 1st of the month (and every 1st of the month thereafter) they will be charged the full amount of their pledge until they cancel or edit their pledge.

After first month of charging patrons up front, when a patron increases their membership, they'll immediately be charged the difference between their recent payment and new membership value.

Example: A patron signs up on January 5th for $10/month. On January 25th, creator change payment type so that patrons are charged up front. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 26th, the patron increases their pledge to $15. The patron will be charged $5 on February 26th. Then the patron will be charged $15 on March 1st for March patronage and they will continue to be charged $15 every 1st of the month thereafter until they cancel or edit their pledge.
