Hi,

This happens when CapCut subscription is linked to a different account than the one you are logged into. The payment goes through, but the app doesn’t recognize it because you are using another login. Here is how you can detect which account is actually paying.

Check which platform is charging you

First find where the subscription is billed.

Look at your bank/card statement and check the description. It usually shows something like:

• Apple / iTunes → subscription from Apple App Store

• Google / Google Play → subscription from Google Play Store

• ByteDance / CapCut → direct payment to CapCut

This tells you where the subscription is managed.

If you paid through Google Play (Android)

1. Open Google Play Store

2. Tap Profile icon

3. Go to Payments & subscriptions

4. Tap Subscriptions

5. Look for CapCut

If it appears there, it means the Google account logged into Play Store owns the subscription, not necessarily the CapCut account you're using.

Try logging into CapCut with the same Google account.

If you paid through Apple

1. Open Settings

2. Tap your Apple ID

3. Tap Subscriptions

4. Check for CapCut

If it’s there, you must log into CapCut using Sign in with Apple.

Restore the subscription Inside CapCut

Sometimes the subscription just needs to be restored.

Inside CapCut:

1. Open CapCut

2. Go to Profile

3. Tap Join Pro

4. Tap Restore Purchases

This reconnects the subscription to your current account.

Check email receipts

Search your email inbox for:

• “CapCut receipt”

• “Google Play receipt”

• “Apple receipt”

The receipt will show the email used to purchase the subscription. That is the account you need to log into.

Most common cause:
People sign into CapCut with TikTok / email / Facebook, but the payment was made using another Google or Apple ID.

• Whether you are using CapCut on Android or iPhone or PC?
