Symptoms

You want to stop being charged for TextExpander Pro or Business, get a refund, or move your snippets to another tool.

Why it happens

  • C-01Subscription auto-renews monthly or yearly
  • C-02Billing runs through Paddle or FastSpring, so the card charge may not say TextExpander
  • C-03Trial accounts can't be deactivated
