The Patron Relationship Manager is the best way to explore and develop your relationships with your patrons. Similar to a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager), the Patron Relationship Manager will provide you with valuable information about your patrons at every point in their journey.
The Patron Relationship Manager is being built from the ground up as the foundation for new features and tools that will help you with communicating with your patrons, fulfilling rewards, and maintaining accurate records of your patrons’ history.
As patrons begin to join your community on Patreon, you will start seeing the following populate in your PRM:
Patron List
This is the main table in the PRM and includes the following columns:
Patron Name
The name your patron has provided
Reward Tier
The name of the patron’s chosen reward tier, OR the dollar amount and beginning of the reward description if no tier name exists
Current Pledge
The patron’s current pledged dollar amount
Lifetime Pledges
The overall total dollar amount the patron has paid you
Last Charge
This means we detected fraudulent activity on this credit card. The card was refunded, and no further action is required by you.
Charge Status
Whether or not the patron’s card was processed successfully at the time of the last charge
Paid
The patron’s card was successfully charged on the last charge date
Pledged
The patron has pledged, but we’ve not yet attempted to charge their card
Declined
The patron’s card declined the charges on the last charge date. We automatically notify patrons whenever their card declines
Refunded
The patron’s card was successfully charged on the last charge date, and subsequently was refunded by you
Fraud
We detected fraudulent activity on this credit card. The card was refunded, and no further action is required by you.
Patron Card
The patron card on the right displays additional information about the patron selected within the table:
Name
The name your patron has provided
Patronage length
The number of months for which your patron has been actively pledging. Note: if a patron deleted their pledge and came back, this will reflect the amount of time since they came back.
Email address
Your patron’s email address
Shipping address
You patron’s shipping address, if one was provided
Filters
Easily find specific groups of patrons by using one of the filters:
Reward tier
Filter your list of patrons down to a particular reward tier, including patrons who have selected “no reward.”
Pledge value
Filter your list of current patrons by a range of pledge values
While the PRM continues to grow, you can still access tools like bulk messaging and CSV exports from the original Patron Manager.
