Upfront Billing (Patreon)

Hi all,

I am sorry to say that even at only 1 dollar a month, some people feel I do not deserve that so they join at the start of the month, and then before billing starts they leave.

While I do block them after two times of this, it is getting to be a full time job to mange this behaviour.

Therefore I am implementing Upfront Charging. This means that people will be charged when they join instead of at the end of the month.

For those people who are already joined, my understanding is you will still continue to be charged at the end of the month, but if you change your pledge, or leave and come back you will get charged right away, and then at the start of every month.

I wish this was just me having this issue, but this is a behaviour that is happening to a lot of people - which is why they have moved also.
