Recent payment declines on Patreon 🌷 Please read 🌷 (Patreon)

Hello Patrons ! 

Apparently there has been an issue with payments a few days ago on Patreon, I just got this email and thought I'd share it with you just in case : 

An issue with a payment partner is causing a slightly higher-than-normal number of your patron payments to be declined by their banks. We've traced the increased declines back to payments system upgrades required by one of our processing partners. Patrons might see some payments declined while changes take effect.

If a patron reaches out to you about a decline, you can advise them to follow these steps:

1. Contact their card issuer to confirm the charge is valid and retry that card
2. If the retry does not work, try a different payment method. Patrons can edit their payments in their Settings, under Billing History

I hope everything works for you !!

Hugs 💙
