Hi!
I’m switching my Patreon to paying up front in the next day or so.
What will happen to existing Patrons this month?
They paid at the beginning of the month. Will they get charged immediately, again, mid-month?
Or will their billing remain unaffected?
Existing patrons will be charged on the first of the month, as always. Charge up front only charges patrons as they join, not retroactively.
That’s great news!
Thank you Lisa.
Following up, I made the switch and no issues.
I waited until the first of the month, and updated my settings.
Sent a note to Patrons.
And no complaints or negative feedback. Smooth sailing.
Congratulations on making the switch. 
I think it’s a great decision for a lot of us and it has certainly saved me many headaches. I hope you see a positive change from it.
So glad you successfully made the switch, with no negative feedback or confusion!
