What day of the month does Patreon charge?

Patrons can expect to be charged on the 1st of each month (after 12 AM PT) for their pledges. It usually takes a full 24-48 hours for all payments to process, so it may take a few days from the start of the month.

Why does Patreon renew on the first?

Their first payment grants them access to your backlog of creations and their membership. We then process patrons’ payments on the 1st of every month after that. Each 1st of the month charge gives them membership access for that month.
