Patreon Payment Issue

Added 2023-08-04 02:01:36 +0000 UTC

Hey.

How are you all doing? I hope good, and in great health :)

Anyway, I just received a notification form email stating that there's issue with their payment partner causing issue with declined payment. I hope you're not impacted by this issue, but if you do there's some way to fix this.

Here's the official statement :

Hi there,

An issue with a payment partner is causing a slightly higher-than-normal number of your patron payments to be declined by their banks. We've traced the increased declines back to payments system upgrades required by one of our processing partners. Patrons might see some payments declined while changes take effect.

If a patron reaches out to you about a decline, you can advise them to follow these steps:

Contact their card issuer to confirm the charge is valid and retry that card
If the retry does not work, try a different payment method. Patrons can edit their payments in their Settings, under Billing History

We’re deeply sorry about these interruptions and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve them.

The Patreon Team
