So, right now Patreon bills everyone on the 1st of the month, no matter when you signed up the month prior. Paid on the 29th? Billed again on the 30th.

I can now opt into Subscription Billing, where all new and returning Patrons would be billed monthly related to when they signed up. Paid on the 5th? Billed on the 5th next month.

If I opt into changing the billing system it is permanent. Existing patrons would continue to be billed on the 1st. Only new or returning Patrons would experience this new system. If you want to switch you'd need to cancel and then sign up again. You won't be able to get the "billed on the 1st" option again.

I have observed some of you cancelling near the end of the month and then coming back at the start of the next month (thanks for coming back!). Would switching to the new Subscription Billing make your lives easier?

I'm going to leave a survey below that will run through next Tuesday that will help me decide to switch or not. Certainly feel free to leave your thoughts in comments as well.

Thanks for all your support,

~dS


Should this Patreon switch to Subscription Billing?
