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

When Netlify processes subscription payments for its web hosting plans, it routes billing through Stripe, a widely used payment processor that truncates merchant names to fit within the standardized character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The asterisk in "NETLIFY*" is a formatting convention that Stripe and similar processors use to separate the merchant name from an optional suffix, such as a product identifier or billing period, though in this case it often appears alone after truncation. If you're seeing a $19.00 monthly charge with this descriptor, it almost certainly corresponds to Netlify's Pro plan for hosting websites and web applications.

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