What is "WISH.COM" on my bank statement?
WISH.COM is usually a legitimate Wish marketplace purchase, but check your order history if you don't recognize it.
Merchant: Wish | Category: Shopping
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Wish reflects a purchase on the Wish online marketplace, which launched in 2010 and operates as a global e-commerce platform rather than a single physical store. Wish does not have a fixed retail store count because it is an app-based and web-based marketplace that connects shoppers with third-party sellers. The charge usually appears after you place an order in the Wish app or on wish.com, and it may post under a card processor or regional billing entity. If you do not recognize it, check your Wish order history, email receipts, and shipping confirmations before assuming fraud.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when you buy an item through Wish and the payment is captured at checkout or when the order is processed. It can also appear if you placed a second order, tapped buy again after an app refresh, or used a saved card on a guest checkout. Some charges post a few days after the purchase date because the merchant or card network batches the transaction later. If the amount is unfamiliar, compare it with your Wish app orders, your email inbox, and any PayPal or card authorization alerts.
Typical Charge Amounts
Wish charges are often small, and many orders fall between $2 and $25 before tax and shipping. Shipping can add $1.99 to $12.99, and some low-cost items can total $4.99 to $19.99 after fees. Card issuers may also place a temporary authorization hold of $1.00 or $0.00 before the final charge posts. If you see a larger amount, it may reflect multiple items in one cart, expedited shipping, or a separate international processing fee.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A Wish charge is usually legitimate if you recently placed an order on wish.com, in the Wish mobile app, or through a saved payment method tied to your account. Start by signing in to the Wish app or visiting https://www.wish.com and checking Orders, Payments, and Messages for a matching transaction. Next, compare the statement date, amount, and currency with your order confirmation email and shipping update. If you still do not recognize it, contact Wish support through the Help Center in the app or on the website and ask for the order details tied to the card ending in the last 4 digits.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Open the Wish app or go to https://www.wish.com and check whether the order is still pending, because pending orders are sometimes cancellable before shipment. 2. Use the order page to request a cancellation or return, and review the seller-specific return window shown on the item page or in your order details. 3. If you cannot match the charge, contact your card issuer right away and start a dispute for an unauthorized transaction while you continue checking with Wish. 4. If you need merchant help, use Wish support in the app or website Help Center, and keep your order number, statement amount, and card last 4 digits ready. Wish support is typically handled online rather than by a public customer service phone line, so the fastest path is the in-app or web support flow.
What If I Never Used Wish?
If you never used Wish, the charge may still be from a family member, a saved card, or a mistaken checkout on a shared device. Check whether the billing name on the statement matches a Wish order placed through PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a browser autofill profile. Review your email for a Wish receipt, because many purchases are confirmed by email within minutes of checkout. If no order exists, report the charge to your bank as unauthorized and ask for a replacement card if you suspect card compromise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Wish charge show as WISH.COM CA?
WISH.COM CA usually means the transaction was processed through Wish’s Canadian billing or processing path. The charge can still be a normal Wish marketplace purchase, so compare the amount and date with your Wish order history, receipt email, and shipping confirmation before disputing it.
How do I cancel my Wish order or subscription?
Wish is mainly an order-based marketplace, so most charges are tied to a purchase rather than a subscription. Open the Wish app or wish.com, go to Orders, and request cancellation only if the order is still pending. If the item already shipped, use the return flow in the order details and then contact your bank if the charge is unauthorized.
Why is my Wish charge a different amount than expected?
A Wish charge can differ from the item price because shipping, tax, currency conversion, or a second item may be added at checkout. Some cards also show a temporary authorization hold before the final amount posts, so compare the posted charge with the final order total in your Wish receipt.
Does Wish charge for shipping separately?
Yes, Wish often shows shipping as a separate line item or folds it into the final total depending on the seller and checkout flow. Shipping commonly adds $1.99 to $12.99, so the statement amount can be higher than the item price shown in the listing.
How can I find the order behind a Wish statement charge?
Search your email for Wish receipts, then log in to the Wish app or wish.com and open your order history. Match the exact dollar amount, purchase date, and card last 4 digits. If no order matches, ask your bank to flag the charge as unauthorized.
