Hi, guys! I just recently got an email from patreon, and they seem to be offering a new billing method. This would only affect NEW patrons, so for the rest of you, things would stay the same.
Basically, the way it currently works is you pledge and you get charged up front, and then your next charge is on the first of the month.
The new option offers the option to charge every 30 days from pledging, so if you pledged on the 18th, you'd be charged on the 18th of the next month.
There are pros and cons to both. Being honest, the current billing option is convenient for me because I can keep track of my monthly earnings together, but I also know that this billing method can inconvenience patrons who pledge later in the month or need a bit more time due to pay periods, etc.
So I'm mostly curious what you all think. I don't want to make any changes without putting a lot of thought and care into it. As I said, current patrons will not be affected if I do make the switch.
