Paid in the App — But Subscription Is Linked to Another Account?

2월 13, 2026 by dodonestory

You completed the purchase inside the app.

The payment went through.

The receipt arrived.

But when you logged in — nothing changed.

No premium access.

No upgraded plan.

No subscription history.

In many cases, the purchase is real — but attached to a different account.

Why App Purchases Link to the Wrong Account

  • You were logged into a different app account during purchase
  • Apple / Google store account differs from service login
  • Guest account was active when payment was made
  • Multiple logins exist on the same device

App stores process payments based on store identity — not always service login.


Signs Your Subscription Is on Another Account

  • Receipt email doesn’t match your login email
  • Subscription tab shows Free Plan
  • You’re prompted to upgrade again
  • Billing history appears empty

This usually indicates account mismatch — not payment failure.


How to Recover the Linked Account

  • Log out and re-login using other email addresses
  • Try Apple / Google / Facebook login methods
  • Check purchase receipt for account identifiers
  • Contact support with transaction ID

Support teams can trace subscriptions using store transaction data.


Important: Avoid Repurchasing

  • Do not buy the subscription again
  • Avoid creating new accounts
  • Wait until account mapping is confirmed

Repurchasing can create duplicate active subscriptions.

Always locate the original linked account first.
