Who uses Patreon? Does anyone want an addon to promote forum members who are patrons?

I can see a use for 3-5. Some content creation teams may want to add support for all members of their youtube group or whatever.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd like to have support of more tiers. We currently have 4 out of 6 tiers in active use. I'd expect the other 2 tiers (high tiers) to be used once we start to promote Patreon more. Currently Patreon is more of a fallback option, as its not integrated with XF. But its a great system.

have zero patrons, and zero income, so some sort of limited functionality would be nice for hobby sites.

Just do it manually for your first 10 patrons

Is six tiers the max that the lowest Patreon level allows?

I don't think there is a max amount of tiers on any level. I'm at Pro level (lowest) and it seems I can add as many as I like. The overview of plans does not list anything about maximum tiers:

I noticed this on the Patreon Developers page:

Integrate with Discourse
Discourse is modern forum software for online communities. The Fantasy Footballers have a public Discourse forum where members receive access to private “#FootClan Leagues” discussions and “Footclan” badging next to their aliases in Discourse.

One thing that would be really useful is to allow members to connect XenForo accounts to Patreon accounts trough OAuth if its possible to then let them automatically follow us on Patreon. It would be useful to have a large following on Patreon so that we can promote account upgrades there.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I'm definitely interested.
