Hey y'all, I think by now Patreon has emailed you with their new system regarding pledge charges. They hit up the creators yesterday so I've had an extra day to wonder why they're doing this.

Apparently in an effort to help out the "creators", like me, they're now passing on a processing fee and whatnot to the patrons. They say it's so creators can keep more of the money pledged but I think it sucks. I'd rather you guys keep more of your money, I'm fine paying that fee. 

Long story short: This means that your pledges will be slightly more than what they were. A $1/month pledge is now more than $1 (still less than $2, but still). Again, I think this is idiotic, and if anyone needs to adjust their pledges to lower levels to better suit themselves financially, don't feel bad, I understand and support you. 

Sorry again, folks.

I personally say it’s still worth it, definitely sounds greedy on their end, but oh well, it is what it is 🤷🏼‍♂️

It's like 37¢ per dollar I believe which sucks if you want a more even number

Justin Griggs

Pretty greedy and annoying of them to charge more tbh

Ashley Cooper

Nah, james. When I saw they were charging us those fees, I was excited and more than willing to pay more. Anything to help you out more makes me happy!

Is that really how much it is for a $20 pledge? That's insane.

Sweet of you to reach out to us all about this. I don't mind the processing fee for creators like you. Keep being you!

austyn storer

is it 37 cents to each dollar or for the whole total?

Processing fee, ha ha. It's just the way of things
