Why am I being double-charged for my subscription?

Double billing occurs when you are charged twice for the same subscription period. While uncommon, it can sometimes happen. If you notice multiple charges, please review your subscription and billing history.

🚧 Common Reasons for Double Billing

  • System errors - Technical glitches can occasionally result in duplicate charges, either on your end or Blockdaemon's.
  • Multiple subscriptions - Ensure you don't have multiple subscriptions for the same service.

🚨 Handling Double-Billing Concerns

  1. Review Your Subscription and Billing History:

Carefully examine your subscription details and billing history. Then, look for any duplicate charges and note their exact dates and amounts.

  1. Contact Blockdaemon Customer Support

If you find duplicate charges, reach out to our customer support team. Provide specific details about the double billing, including:

  • The dates of the charges
  • The exact amounts billed
  • Any relevant transaction IDs or reference numbers
  • Screenshots of the billing history, if possible
  • Our support team will investigate the issue thoroughly and assist you in resolving it promptly

👀 To review your Node Subscription Billing History:

  1. Log in to your Blockdaemon account.

The Blockdaemon Tokenization API supports the management of tokens, such as ERC-1404 and ERC-3643 tokens.

Key Benefits of Tokenization include:

  • ERC-1404 and ERC-3643 Support
    ERC-1404 and ERC-3643 token standards are Ethereum token standards optimized for institutional use. The Blockdaemon Tokenization API supports both of these standards.
  • Instant Settlements
    Tokenization ensures instant, 24/7 settlements. It transforms the investment markets and makes asset ownership more accessible.
  • Automated Processes
    Smart contracts can automate manual and complicated procedures. With tokenization, these contracts remove middlemen, simplify financial workflows, ensure quick settlements while following regulations, and lower transaction costs.

📘
