Patreon - charge up front
Added 2019-09-13 07:38:59 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Before the next post on my project, I would like to give an information about changing payment system. A lot of people start to be my patreon every month, they can see and use all posts. But after they stop to be my patreon. I don't know if they do it consciously. Maybe they think they pay me for a month, but sad to say that they do not.
New payment system on patreon (Charge up front) do not wait end of a month, new patrons will charged up immediately by patreon. But there is no change for already existing patrons.
Patreon help center explains everything here for existing patreons:
"How will this feature change how existing patrons are charged?
Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual. If they edit their membership, this won't trigger them to be charged, however, they will be charged their total membership amount on the 1st.
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, you change your payment type so that patrons are charged up front. The patron will be charged $10 on March 1st for March patronage.
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.
After your first month of charging patrons up front, when a patron increases their membership, they'll immediately be charged the difference between their recent payment and new membership value.
Example: A patron signs up on January 5th for $10/month. On January 25th, you change your payment type so that patrons are charged up front. The patron is charged on February 1st for January patronage. 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. "
I am sorry for this changing and thank you for supporting me.
