Charge up front
🕑 Added 2018-08-01 20:57:01 +0000 UTC The following change is for new patrons only, whose pledges are after '01/08/2018' and current patrons that change their pledge from now on.So if you became my Patron the last month (or before) or you aren't going to make any changes to your pledge... don't even worry about this because nothing is going to change for you.
Now that you have read a clarification for this, you can continue...
Hi guys! The Charge up front feature is already implemented and since now '01/08/2018' that feature will be active in my Patreon page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This feature change how patrons are charged:
New Patrons: New Patrons will be charged on the day they become your patron, giving them access to all content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the beginning of the month.
Example: A patron joins your Patreon community on February 25th for $10 per month. They will be charged $10 on the day they join, February 25th, for February patronage. On March 1st, the Patron will be charged $10 for March patronage.
Existing Patrons: Your existing patrons will be charged on the 1st of the month like usual. However, if they increase or decrease their pledge the month you switch to charge up front, they will be billed immediately in full.
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. If this patron increased their pledge on February 26th to $20, they would be billed $20 on the 26th for February.
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.

If you want to know more about this feature, read the oficial post.
Why am I activating this feature? Because some Patrons become my patron to check out the content and download it, and then delete their pledge before they are charged at the beginning of the month, but with charge up front enabled, only paying patrons are going to be able to view or download this "patron only" content.
