Unexpected subscription charges can occur for various reasons, such as duplicate accounts, multiple active subscriptions, or billing errors. This article provides an overview of common scenarios, explanations for charges, and steps to resolve issues effectively.
Common Reasons for Unexpected Charges
1. Duplicate Subscriptions or Accounts
Multiple Workspaces or Accounts: If you have created more than one workspace or account, each active subscription will be billed separately. For example, if you subscribe to both splose's base subscription and splose AI for each workspace, you will see charges for both services.
Resolution: Verify the URLs associated with your accounts to identify duplicates. Cancel duplicate subscriptions by navigating to Settings > Subscription > Cancel Subscription.
2. Trial Periods Converting to Paid Subscriptions
Automatic Conversion: At the end of a free trial, the subscription automatically converts to a paid plan unless canceled before the trial ends.
Resolution: Cancel your subscription before the trial ends to avoid charges. If you were charged in error, contact support for a refund.
3. Separate Subscriptions for Add-Ons
splose AI Add-On: Charges for splose AI are billed separately from the base subscription. For example, if you are subscribed to both, you will see two charges each month.
Resolution: Review your subscription details under Settings > Subscription to confirm active plans and associated charges.
4. Billing Errors or Adjustments
Failed Payment Attempts: Duplicate charges may appear if initial payment attempts failed. Only successful payments are reflected in the payments tab.
Adjustments for Plan Changes: Charges may include adjustments or credits for switching between monthly and annual billing.
Steps to Resolve Billing Issues
Verify Subscription Details: - Navigate to Settings > Subscription > Invoices to review your billing history and active subscriptions.
Identify Duplicate Accounts or Subscriptions: - Check for multiple accounts or workspaces with active subscriptions. Cancel duplicates to stop future charges.
Request Refunds for Errors: - If you were charged in error, contact support to request a refund. Refunds are typically processed for duplicate subscriptions or trial-related charges.
Update Payment Information: - Ensure your payment details are current to avoid failed payments or delays in processing refunds.
FAQs
Why was I charged after cancelling my subscription?
If there’s an outstanding unpaid invoice, cancellation won’t be complete until the invoice is paid. Clear the invoice under Settings > Subscription > Invoices to finalise the cancellation.
Why was I charged twice for the same month?
This could be due to separate subscriptions for the base plan and add-ons like Splose AI. Verify your active subscriptions under Settings > Subscription.
How can I stop future charges for a subscription I didn’t sign up for?
