I purchased the 3-day trial package, but it wasn't effective. When I immediately canceled the trial, I was charged for the entire year. I requested a refund but it was denied. Please help me resolve this.

The people responding on this support forum are users like you, so unfortunately all we can do is guide you to the information Apple does provide. Apple, however, does not have much on its criteria for refusing refunds. Here are two sections from Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions - Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple
- "All Transactions are final."
I understand this as meaning Apple is starting from a point where any refund is considered an exception. Apple may provide a refund but can also simply say no without having to provide a reason. I understand this can be frustrating but by using the service you agree to the terms.
- "From time to time, Apple may suspend or cancel payment or refuse a refund request if we find evidence of fraud, abuse, or unlawful or other manipulative behavior that entitles Apple to a corresponding counterclaim." Remember that Apple has no way of removing a purchase from your device. They have to trust you are being honest when asking for a refund. It may be certain refund requests might be considered suspicious.
You can see if the terms are different for where you live by clicking on this link Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple select your location and then your language.
If you feel you want to discuss a refund request, try to contact an Apple representative using a telephone or chat request.
Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

I see the free trial, but no explanation of how it works. You probably saw this,
It does indicate a free trial but make no mention of how to cancel or cancel anytime. None of their support articles mention free trials either.
Here’s the support contact website. They do have a classification for subscription issues. You may want to talk to them before trying to talk to Apple.
Does Apple give further explanation of why it’s not eligible for a refund?
What that shows is you purchased a 1 year subscription and not a 3 day trial subscription. Do you have a screenshot or receipt for the three day trial?
I have also contacted their support team, but they refused to process it because the transaction was made through the Apple store.
If you download the app, you'll see the subscription options offering 3-day trial before charging a fee. I selected the subscription but couldn't use the service, so I canceled immediately. However, as soon as I canceled, I was charged for a full year, and my refund request was denied even though I submitted it right away.
The refund request was denied.
