What to do if you are still being charged after canceling Ondoku
Jan. 26, 2026

In such a case, please check these three things first.
- Do you have multiple accounts for Ondoku?
- Did you cancel right before the renewal date, causing a timing mismatch with the withdrawal?
- Are you sure the charge is from Ondoku?
We will explain each in detail.
1. Do you have multiple Ondoku accounts?
This is the most common cause of "I was charged even though I cancelled."


While you might think that...
In most cases, it turns out that you actually had multiple Ondoku accounts.
- A@mail (Free account)
- B@mail (Account with a paid plan subscription)
Let's say this is the case. When we investigate after receiving an inquiry, we often find:
- You intended to cancel the subscription on A@mail (Free account), but you actually just performed the account deletion/withdrawal process.
- You had forgotten about the existence of B@mail (the account with the paid plan).
This is the situation in most instances.
Please check if you own multiple accounts.
To avoid such confusion, Ondoku asks that you refrain from owning multiple accounts (e.g., a free account plus a paid account).
If you create multiple accounts to hold multiple paid plans, we ask that you manage your accounts thoroughly.
- * Owning multiple free accounts is a prohibited action.
- * Owning multiple paid accounts is allowed.
2. Did you cancel right before the renewal date, causing a timing mismatch with the withdrawal?
In Ondoku, the usage fee for the next 30 days is withdrawn on the renewal date.
Even if the withdrawal occurs at exactly 12:00 on the renewal date, there may be a time lag of several hours for the withdrawal notification to reach your card.
If you do not need to renew for the next period, please cancel by the renewal date.
After cancellation, you can continue to maintain and use the contracted plan until the next renewal date.
We do not recommend cancelling at the last minute before the renewal date, as the next payment may still be processed.
3. Are you sure the charge is from Ondoku?
Sometimes, seeing a withdrawal of about 1,000 to 3,000 yen on your credit card statement leads you to think, "This must be the withdrawal for my Ondoku usage fee!"
However, upon investigation, it sometimes turns out that it is not actually a charge from Ondoku.
On your credit card statement, charges will appear under names such as:
- ST*Ondoku3
- PAYPAL*ONDOKU SAN
Additionally, for contracts made after June 2023, Ondoku sends invoices via Stripe.
Please check the biller information on the invoice.
