  7. Curious about chargebacks? Read on!
    If you are a creator on Patreon, chances are you’ve had to deal with chargebacks before. A chargeback is when a purchase is made, but the cardholder contacts their bank and wants their money back. When chargebacks are used properly, they serve as a way for financial institutions to help protect consumers from fraudulent purchases. On the other hand, they can also be used by consumers as a way to avoid paying for things they purchased.Read the full blog here.
