CONVERTKIT* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When ConvertKit processes subscription payments for its email marketing platform, it routes billing through Stripe, a widely used payment processor that truncates merchant names and appends an asterisk to create a unique identifier in bank systems. The "CONVERTKIT*" format you see on your statement is the result of this payment gateway shorthand, which compresses the company name and uses the asterisk as a separator that often precedes a transaction ID or product code. If you signed up for ConvertKit's email marketing tools and are being billed around $9.00 monthly, this descriptor confirms your active subscription is being charged as expected.

No, this is a legitimate charge from ConvertKit. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
