Understanding a charge on your statement

Published by Argorant

How to match any amount to what caused it.

Every charge on your account is listed in Billing history with its date, amount and a receipt link. Start there before contacting your bank.

  1. Open Profile → Billing and scroll to Billing history.
  2. Find the line matching the date and amount on your statement.
  3. Click 'View receipt' for the itemized Stripe receipt.

What each kind of line means:

  • A full plan amount - a normal renewal on your billing date.
  • An amount labelled 'prorated' - a mid-cycle plan or cycle change. The amount is a partial period, so it matches no list price.
  • $17.50, $35 or $105 - a wallet top-up.
  • A pack price - a pay-as-you-go credit pack.
  • A first plan charge about a week after signup - the trial converted on day 8.
  • A line marked 'due' - an invoice that has not been paid yet, usually a declined card.

Two frequent surprises with innocent explanations. A trial conversion looks unexpected if you forgot the trial had a fixed end date. And an annual charge is the whole year, which is why it is large and why the credits arrived all at once.

If a line still does not match anything you did, send the date and amount to support@argorant.com and we will trace it.
