Why Is My Charge Higher Than Expected?

Why Is My Charge Higher Than Expected?

If you notice a charge from Weaveform that looks higher than usual or see multiple charges in one month, it is typically due to one of the following reasons:


1. It is a "Pending" Authorization

When you pay by credit card, your bank may place a temporary hold (authorization) on the funds before the actual payment is processed.

Appearance: It looks like a charge on your statement but is actually "pending."
Resolution: No funds are actually taken, and the hold usually disappears within a month.

Note: If you are paying in a different currency, the amount may fluctuate slightly between the "pending" time and the "final" charge due to updated exchange rates.


2. A Previously Failed Payment was Retried

If a previous payment failed (due to an expired card or insufficient funds), Weaveform will automatically try to process that payment again a few days later.

The Result: If a past-due payment is finally successful at the same time your current month’s bill is due, you may see two charges appear on your statement at once.

How to check: View your payment dates for each charge.


3. Renewal Rates or Bundled Services

There are two common reasons your recurring bill might change:

End of a Promotion: If you used a discount code or caught a sale for your first year, the renewal will be at the standard yearly rate.

Consolidated Billing: To keep your bank statement clean, Weaveform sometimes bundles multiple payments (like your website plan, domain renewal, and business email) into one single transaction rather than several small ones.
