- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Signing up for a 7-day free trial of WPS Premium.
- Observed behavior
- The user's payment method was charged immediately instead of starting a free trial, potentially due to account mismatch or ineligibility.
Gather all possible email addresses you might have used to sign in, and have your payment receipts or transaction IDs ready to help support locate your charge quickly.
Verify Account Details and Contact Support for a Refund
Check your account eligibility and reach out to WPS Customer Support to process your refund and cancel the mistaken charge.
Often, unexpected charges happen when users log in with a different email address or attempt to claim a trial when they are ineligible. Identifying the exact email associated with the charge will speed up the refund process.
Check your email inboxes for a WPS Premium subscription confirmation. Note the exact email address used, as the subscription may be linked to a different account than the one you normally use.
Locate the charge on your bank statement, credit card bill, or PayPal account. Note the transaction ID, date, and exact amount.
Send a private message to WPS support or email the official support team with your account email address and transaction details.
Explicitly state in your message that you were charged during a free trial signup, wish to cancel the subscription to prevent future billing, and are requesting a refund for the current charge.
Cancel Auto-Renewal Manually
If you have access to the account that was charged, you should cancel the auto-renewal immediately to prevent further billing while your refund is processed.
Easily Manage Your WPS Premium Subscription
Keep track of your subscription status, manage your billing history, and adjust your auto-renewal settings easily using the WPS Account Center.
- 1. Open WPS Office: Launch the WPS Office application on your computer and ensure you are logged in.
- 2. Access the Account Center: Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of the home screen.

- 4. Manage renewal settings: Click on your active plan to manage your payment methods, view receipts, or turn off auto-renewal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was I charged immediately instead of getting a free trial?
Immediate charges usually occur if the email address you used has already claimed a free trial in the past, or if you selected a subscription plan (such as a monthly plan) that does not include the 7-day free trial.
How long does it take to process a refund for WPS Premium?
Once your refund request is approved by WPS Customer Support, it typically takes 3 to 7 business days for the funds to reflect on your original payment method, depending on your bank's processing times.
Can I get a refund if I was mistakenly charged twice?
Yes, duplicate charges can be fully refunded. You will need to contact WPS Support with both transaction IDs and your email address so they can locate and refund the duplicate payment.
Will I lose access to Premium features immediately after canceling my subscription?
If you simply cancel auto-renewal, you will retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. However, if a full refund is processed by support, your Premium access will be revoked immediately.
