Solution 1Recommended

Request a Refund Through Your Mobile App Store

If you accidentally purchased WPS Office Premium via a mobile device, you must request the refund directly through Apple or Google's native billing systems.

WPS Office does not have direct access to process refunds for transactions made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You must submit the request directly to the respective platform where the purchase occurred.

Apple App Store (iOS/Mac)

Go to reportaproblem.apple.com in your web browser. Sign in with your Apple ID, tap 'I'd like to', choose 'Request a refund', select 'I didn't mean to buy this' as the reason, find the WPS Office subscription in the list, and submit.

Google Play Store (Android)

Open a web browser and go to play.google.com. Click on your profile icon, select 'Payments & subscriptions', find your WPS Office order in 'Budget & order history', click 'Report a problem', select the accidental purchase option, and submit your request.

Request a Refund Through Your Mobile App Store

Processing Time: App store refunds are typically reviewed within 48 hours, and the funds usually return to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days.

Solution 2

Request a Refund for Desktop or Website Purchases

Use this method if your accidental purchase was completed directly on the official WPS website or via the desktop application.
