I'll be changing my Patreon to charge Upfront. (Patreon)

As the title says changing it so people can't join and then ditch.

Here is how it works right from Patreon:

How will this feature change how your patrons are charged?

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

Example:A patron pledges to youon February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day they pledge, February 25th, for February patronage. On March 1st, the Patron will be charged $10 for March patronage.

Existing Patrons:Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual.

Example:A patron pledges to youon January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th, Jack changes his campaign so that patrons are charged upfront. The patron will be charged $10 on March 1st for March patronage.

If an existing patron increases their pledge, they will be charged the difference between their last pledge value, and the new pledge value. 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.
