Will I Be Charged Again After Payment?

Whether you will be charged again after purchasing AethoVPN membership and making payment mainly depends on your purchase method and settings. Here are the specific situations:

• One-time purchase (no auto-renewal):
  • If you selected a one-time purchase (such as purchasing a fixed-term Pro Membership) without auto-renewal, you will not be charged again after payment;
  • You only need to pay once, and the membership will automatically expire after the term ends unless you manually purchase again.
• Auto-renewal subscription:
  • If you activated auto-renewal service (such as monthly or quarterly subscription), after the initial payment, the system will automatically charge through the Stripe payment platform at the end of each term until you manually cancel;
  • Charge timing: Typically automatic charges occur 1-2 days before each term ends.
• Possibility of unexpected charges:
  • Failed to cancel on time: If you thought the membership had expired but did not disable auto-renewal, you may be charged in the next term;
  • Service upgrade: For example, upgrading from Pro to Premium Membership, the price difference payment may appear as an additional charge.
