If you do not receive an order confirmation email after purchasing a subscription with a credit or debit card, try the solutions below:

• Check the junk/spam folder in your email account in case the order confirmation was filtered from your inbox.
• Check your email inbox and junk/spam folder again later. Order confirmation emails can take several hours to process and send.
• If you do not immediately receive an order confirmation email, you can retrieve your activation code via the Avast Account that is linked to the email address you provided during the subscription purchase. For detailed instructions, refer to the following article: Retrieving an activation code from your Avast Account.
• Contact Avast Support and provide the full name and street address that should appear on your order. Once we identify your order, we will check your email address and resend the subscription details to you.

For a standalone purchase, we recommend trying a different credit card or choose a different payment method (PayPal or Wire transfer).

If the subscription is entitled for automatic renewal and failed, we recommend to update your payment details. If your payment could not be processed in the regular billing period before your current Avast subscription expires, we try to complete your pending payment up to 14 days after the expiration date with the new payment card.

If your order is duplicated, contact Avast Support so that we can assist you. We can combine your orders to extend your Avast subscription period or refund the duplicate order if eligible according to Avast's Cancellation and refund policy.

For detailed information about the Avast refund policy, refer to the following article: Requesting a refund for an Avast subscription.

When you receive a new credit/debit card because your previous card is lost or has expired, most card companies use account updater services to automatically update your payment details. This allows us to renew your subscription without you manually updating your details.

To verify if your credit/debit card company uses an account updater service, contact them directly or check their support pages.

If you no longer want to use a paid Avast product, you need to cancel your subscription before the next billing date to stop future charges. An expired credit/debit card does not guarantee that you will not be charged.

Refer to this article for instructions on how to cancel your subscription.

Payments made by wire transfer can take several days to clear depending on the country where the transfer originates. We only issue the Avast subscription after the full payment is received. Before contacting Avast Support regarding a wire transfer purchase, allow a minimum of seven days for the funds to reach our distributors. If you do not receive your subscription after seven days, contact Avast Support for assistance.

When you purchase an Avast subscription, we may offer you an initial discounted price. This offer applies only to the first subscription period, after which you are charged full price. The full subscription price is provided during purchase, and you are informed in advance by email before the payment is taken. If you are unhappy with the renewal price, cancel your subscription before the next billing date to stop future charges.

Refer to this article for instructions to cancel your subscription.

When you purchase an Avast subscription before your current subscription expires, the new subscription period automatically includes the amount of time remaining on your previous subscription. If our system fails to connect the subscriptions properly, contact Avast Support so that we can extend it manually.
