When you become a patron to a creator who is charging per-post, you have the option of setting a monthly limit to your payments. This prevents you from being charged more than you're comfortable with, if the creator makes several paid posts in a given month.
Please note that while these examples are in US Dollar ($), it is possible that you could be billed in Euro (€) or British Pounds (£) depending on the currency that the creator bills in.
In this article show you the two ways you can add a monthly limit:
When you first confirm your membership
After clicking Become a Patron to a per-post creator and choosing your tier, you will be brought to a membership confirmation page.
Step 1: To set your monthly limit, select the I'd like to set a monthly limit option. In the field below, enter the maximum number of posts you'd like to support in a given month. This number indicates how many times you can be billed in a month, not the total monthly amount.
Example: If you pledge $2.00 USD per post with a monthly limit set up to 2 times, your total pledge amount will be $4.00 USD.
Step 2: Click Confirm, and you'll only ever be billed up to your monthly limit in a given month.
Setting a monthly limit later
You can set up a monthly limit to your membership at anytime. You can also edit or remove your monthly max if you'd like.
Follow the steps below to set a monthly limit after you’ve already confirmed your membership:
Step 1: From the Dropdown menu in the top right select Manage memberships.
Step 3: On the following page, select the I'd like set a monthly limit option. In the field that appears, enter the maximum number of times you'd like to be billed in a given month. This number indicates how many times you can be billed in a month, not the total monthly amount.
Step 4: Click Confirm to save the change, and your monthly limit will be set up.
Setting a monthly limit will not remove any already pending bills on your account. So if you’ve already been billed for a creator’s paid posts, setting a monthly max will not retroactively remove those pending bills.
