"Charging Up Front" (Patreon)
Content
I'm thinking of changing the payment settings on Patreon to being charged at the start of the month everyone.
I will be waiting a few days for you guys to give me your point of view if you have any concerns.
Here is a copy and paste from Patreons post about "Charge Up front" if you have any questions that can be answered here.
How will this feature change how your patrons are charged?
New Patrons:New Patrons will be charged on the day they become your patron, 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 joins your 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.
Existing Patrons:Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual.
Example:A patron joins your Patreon community on January 5th for $10 per month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th, Jack changes his payment type 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.
Example:A patron signs up on January 5th for $10/month. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. On February 25th, youchange your payment type so that patrons are charged upfront. 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.
Thanks
