(IMPORTANT) Patreon currency change for European Patrons (Patreon)
Content
As some of you may have noticed, I changed the currency of my tiers from $ to €, since I live in Italy. It's a new Patreon feature so it took me a bit to understand the actual process of this change.
Figures the system doesn't change the currency automatically for everyone who lives in Europe, but it must be change manually by patrons in their setting. This website is so broken, I apologize :(
So, for my European patrons, I'd like to suggest to change your local currency to avoid any additional (and useless) conversion fees for the both of us in.
For those of you who would like to switch your currency you can follow these steps (mind that you should do it before the end of the month, October 31th to avoid extra taxes with next payout):
- On Patreon.com, hover over your avatar in the top right of your screen.
- Click Manage memberships.
- Find this page, and click Edit.
- Under Currency, choose your preferred currency (euro in this case).
- Click Update to save your settings.
For those outside Europe, I opted in the "accept more currencies" option, so you should be able to keep paying with your pledge without much issues! I will pay for any currency taxes that might be applied, you shouldn't be charge anything more.
I wasn't expecting this change to be so... stiff, guess this website doesn't want to get the responsability of making the change (and I guess they earn something from the change taxes too......) but since I can't go back, let's try to make it easiest as possible!
Thank you so much if you decide to do so, and sorry again for bothering you with this mess!
See you next week with october PDFs o/
