Non-recurring Charges Show as “Recurring” on Customer Bank Statements
We at Always Blessed don't have a recurring subscription program thus we can assure you that you will not see any recurring charges on your bank account. We use STRIPE as a payment platform to collect payment.
This is expected behavior: this "recurring" designation is necessary to save our customer's payment information for future use without re-entering their CVC code each time. The "recurring" flag does not necessarily indicate the customer is subscribed to a recurring billing plan, only that the card was saved for future charges or repurchase.
Additional Information
Due to PCI compliance, Stripe cannot store CVC codes on our servers. Payments made with saved payment information are marked as "recurring" to inform card-issuing banks why charge requests are missing that information. This increases the likelihood that the charge will be approved, as it tells the bank that the CVC code isn’t present because the payment information was stored for recurring use.
