Enabled 'charge up front' Patreon feature
Hello all! This is a bit of a boring post but I wanted to let you know that I have enabled Patreon's 'charge up front' feature, which will be permanent from now on.
This basically means that new pledgers will be charged immediately upon pledging, rather than getting free access until the first of the following month. I felt this was important because I have had many cases of people pledging, particularly to the $5 tier, reading all the new pages, and then deleting their pledge before they get charged. Daylight robbery!!
This really doesn't affect most of you at all! Existing patrons will still be charged, as normal, on the 1st of every month - no additional payments or anything like that!
But if you have been trying to skip payments by deleting your pledge near the end of the month then re-pledging after the 1st... you can't do that anymore!
If you have any questions, have a lil look at this handy Q&A Patreon wrote about it, or just comment down below and I'll be happy to answer!
Thanks pals! Hope you're having a lovely day! xxx

hey alice, i just became a patron in the full-comic tier and got the info that i would pay in 8 days (today is the 23rd). i'm just reading upwards (so from old to current post - maybe you wrote something else in the meantime). just wanted to let you know that it doesn't seem to charge immediately. which it should, because i have access to everything :/ ❤❤❤ i'll definitely stick around for a long time :)
As well you should have that feature! I am indignant on your behalf, that is tantamount to stealing! Shame on them!
I can't believe people would think to do that! $5 is nothing for the content you give us almost daily!
I can’t believe people would do this!
It makes me really sad that people do that to you! Your content is definitely worth all of my dollars and I’m more than happy to pay it. I don’t understand why anyone would want to rob you like that!
Is it bad that I hope the people who do that don’t realise they’ll be getting charged the next time they try it? 😅 (but also congrats on having the amount of people it takes to get it activated? If that’s how it works?)
Good for you, dear. I heard is difficult to get it activated.
Great idea! Happy you are getting paid for the content you are creating:)
Ugh I'm sorry that's been happening to you. It's weird that Patreon allows that, I always assumed that if you deleted your pledge in the middle of the month you'd be charged! You deserve alllllll the money for your stuff. Considering how much joy you bring my life, $5 a month is totally worth it
I don’t blame you for changing that at all! It’s messed that so many people are doing that to you!
Thankfully it was only a few people doing it, but still very unfair to all the people who are paying for this exclusive content! Glad it won't be happening anymore :)
Damn, people can be horrible these days. I‘m happy I can contribute to you making this amazing story, even if it‘s just a few €. Keep going Alice, you deserve the money!❤️
Thank you so so much!
Glad you got it to work now 😊
