Patron Payments in India - Issue (Patreon)

Hey guys! I just wanted to talk to you about some issues Patreon is having with payments from India lately, and I am scared that you are going to be affected by it if you live there. For some reason, there's been an industry-wide decline of payments due to new regulations by the Reserve Bank of India. I don't know the details of it because they did not share more than necessary in the e-mail's I've gotten from Patreon about it. 

According to Patreon, the subscription of the majority of people from India have been declined payment, and thus, they cannot continue pledging to the Tier from the last month. Which means, if you are a new subscriber, you are fine. The problem is only occurring with people that have been subscribed for more than one month: RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION. 

I don't know if it will happen to you, but unfortunately it's not something I can solve or help if that does end up being a problem for you :(

I truly hope it does not affect ANY of my patrons from India in November, we will have to wait and see when the new month begins. I will put a screenshot of one of the e-mail I received from Patreon about it:




That's pretty much it. Let's pray that you don't get the same payment decline issue 😔
