FAQ (Frequently‐Asked Questions)Q. Why charged twice?

A. While it may appear that you've been charged twice for an order, the pending item you noticed on your bank statement is actually an authorization. Authorizations are the initial communication between Google’s billing system and the bank's billing system. While you may see multiple pending listings in your account, only one charge will be deducted after the authorization is completed. When this final deduction occurs, the charge will be posted to your account as successful. Google will not bill an account until they receive an approved authorization from the bank.
