💳 Why Is Part of My Annual Refund Withheld?

Explains that annual refunds withhold only the non-refundable Stripe processing fee, not a month of usage.

Got a refund on your annual plan and noticed it's not quite the full amount? No worries, that's totally expected, and we're here to break down exactly why! 🎉

🔍 What's Being Withheld (and Why)

When WithMe issues a refund on an annual subscription, a small amount gets withheld from the total. Here's the deal: that withheld bit corresponds to the non-refundable Stripe processing fee that was charged on your original transaction.

Stripe handles all our payment processing, and once a payment goes through, Stripe keeps its processing fee, it's simply not something that can be returned, even on a refund. So that small slice stays with Stripe, not WithMe! 💸

Here's an important bit to be crystal clear on: this withheld amount is not a deduction for a month of usage at the monthly price. It's purely the processing cost Stripe already charged and kept, nothing more!

📝 How It Plays Out, Step by Step

  1. You request (or receive) a refund on your annual subscription. ✅

  2. WithMe processes your refund right away, withholding only the non-refundable Stripe processing fee from the original payment.

  3. You get the rest of your payment back! 🙌
