New Members - Subscription Billing (Patreon Update)

Just to give you quick info in terms of transparency.
Apple / IOS is changing something how they handle in-app purchases and this affect all the apps including Patreon which has in-app purchases in a form of Patreon member tiers. This basically means that if the apps won't comply with these new Apple rules, they get removed from App Store.
Related to this, Patreon is kind of forcing a billing update called "Subscription Billing" to all the creators to keep things compatible with Apple's new rules starting this November.
This change only affects new members in terms of when the Patreon payments are processed and this subscription billing works like this (information from Patreon's website):
"If a creator has subscription billing enabled, members are billed when they join a creator’s membership and then on the same day of each month thereafter. For example, if a member joins on the 5th of a month, they’ll be billed on the 5th of each month thereafter."
So yea, minor changes, no need for any actions and this affects only new members like mentioned but just wanted to keep you informed if there's some pop-up or something else related to this starting November.
