Start here: match the ShortMax refund request to the billing channel

Public user feedback for ShortMax is more about coins, VIP access, paid episodes or unlock problems. The refund request should connect the store receipt to the missing in-app value.

The safest workflow is to identify the payment channel first, collect evidence second, and only then choose the refund, cancellation or payment-dispute path.

Choose the right refund path

  • Apple receipt: use Apple's refund request path with the Apple Account shown on the receipt.
  • Google Play receipt: use Google Play order history or the refund help flow.
  • PayPal/card/bank descriptor: contact that payment provider and keep the merchant descriptor.
  • Missing coins/VIP/unlocked episodes: send app support the account ID and screenshots, then use the store or payment-provider path if the issue is not fixed.

Evidence that makes the request stronger

  • Receipt email, order ID, charge date and amount
  • App account email, user ID, device and country
  • Coin, VIP, membership or locked-episode screenshots
  • Cancellation page, support ticket and any later statement line
  • Merchant descriptor if the charge came from card, PayPal or another payment provider

Steps

  1. Open the receipt first. Apple purchases should go through reportaproblem.apple.com; Google Play purchases should go through Google Play order history or the refund form.
  2. Match the receipt to your ShortMax account: email, user ID, device, region, order ID, charge date, amount, coin balance and locked episode screenshots.
  3. Write a short timeline: purchase time, what failed, whether you canceled, whether coins or VIP access arrived, and every later charge.
  4. Send the same evidence to ShortMax support at https://www.shorttv.live, but keep the Apple or Google refund request as the main refund path when the store billed you.
  5. If the charge was not made by you, use the unauthorized-charge flow for the store or contact the card issuer quickly. In the US, keep the written card dispute deadline in mind.

Suggested evidence

  • store receipt
  • order ID
  • billing descriptor
  • app account email or user ID
  • subscription status screenshot
  • coin or VIP balance
  • locked episode screenshot
  • support conversation

FAQ

Should I ask ShortMax support or the app store for a refund?

Use the store refund path if Apple or Google billed you. Send app support the same evidence when the problem involves missing coins, VIP access or locked episodes.

What if I paid but still cannot watch in ShortMax?

Screenshot the receipt, account email, coin/VIP balance and locked episode. Ask support to restore access or explain the missing purchase, then use the store refund path if it is not fixed.
