Client was double charged and form duplicated

    Hi- one of our forms duplicated, like a month afterwards where our client was charged again via Stripe. This morning we received a notification that a form was filled out on the "WEX Raleigh 2019- Exhibitor Form- $50 OFF" and she already filled this form out in April and now was charged again. We asked her if she did this and she said she did not fill out the form again. 


    This happened now twice and I am losing money on the return of funds with the processing fee. I am a good customer of jotform and need this fixed ASAP as well as asking for a way to re-coop some of the funds lost with either a free month on my bill or something. 

    We can't have this continue to happen and lose money every time. 


    Thank you,

    Hi @womenempowerexpo!

    We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. To further assist you, may you please provide us with the Submission IDs of the duplicated charge from your form? 

    You had stated this has happened twice, was this on the same form or a different one? If it was a different one or a different customer can you please provide the name of the form as well as the Submission IDs?

    We do apologize for the inconvenience.

    I have checked both submissions and they are identical. Do note that the submit button must be clicked before a submission is triggered.

    Both submissions has the same:

    1.)IP address:73.99.168.252

    2.)Location Address

    3.)Email address.

    May we know if the user has used his mobile phone in filling up the form or laptop/pc?

    May we know also the web browser the  user has used?


    May we know if there are other reports with this issue in your form?

    Looking forward for your response.

    This user was adament that she did not submit another form nor even look at the form to be able to re-submit her payment info and was spooked out when she got the charged and immediately called our office. We had to issue a refund which costs money in processing fees lost.

    We do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

    For further information, may we know if your form is embedded to a web page?

    I am not exactly sure how this has happened as the Form was resubmitted after a month and we don't have a widget or feature that would send the form again based on date.

    Maybe your user did not close the  browser tab in which the form was filled and somehow the form was resubmitted, most likely by using back browser button.
