How to Resolve a Double Charge on Your First WPS Subscription Payment
Question details
The user was billed twice for their initial subscription purchase and needs to know how to resolve the duplicate charge.
- Product
- WPS Office Subscription
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Reviewing bank or credit card statements after purchasing a new software subscription.
- Observed behavior
- Two identical charges appear for the first subscription payment instead of a single expected charge.
Before contacting customer support, verify with your bank or credit card provider that both charges have fully posted to your account and are not just temporary pending authorizations.
Submit Transaction Proof to Customer Support
Gather evidence of the duplicate charges and submit them to the support team so they can investigate and process a refund.
To successfully investigate a double billing issue, the billing support team needs verified proof of both transactions. Providing clear screenshots and transaction IDs ensures a faster resolution and refund process.
Log into your online banking portal or payment provider account (such as PayPal or Stripe) and locate the two specific charges from WPS.
Take a clear screenshot of both transactions, making sure the date, billing amount, and transaction IDs are fully visible.
Navigate to the WPS Customer Support portal, open a new ticket, and attach your screenshots along with a brief explanation of the double charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did a double charge happen on my first payment?
Double charges can occur due to network timeouts during checkout, accidentally clicking the payment button twice, or a temporary pre-authorization hold placed by your bank.
Where can I find my transaction ID?
You can find your transaction ID on the payment confirmation email sent to your registered address, or by viewing the detailed transaction receipt in your PayPal, Stripe, or bank account portal.
What if the second charge is still marked as pending?
If the second charge is marked as 'pending' or 'processing' by your bank, it is likely just a temporary authorization hold. These holds usually drop off automatically within a few business days without actually deducting any funds from your account.
