Wondering if you checked your purchase history:


Else: Not all purchases may go through the App Store ... eg: sometimes app-developers may have separate in-app purchases, links to follow for extras, or such.


More info: About purchases not billed through the App Store or the App Store’s In-App Purchase system

Article says: "If you paid for an app, a purchase within an app, or a subscription outside of Apple’s ecosystem, contact the developer for billing support or a refund. Apple is unable to provide support for these purchases."

________

If needed:

Seems there's an optional feature that lets you: View your App Store and iTunes Store purchases directly from your financial institution

Eg: Article says:

"You may be able to see more details about your recent purchases when you view your transactions on your financial institution's website or mobile app.

When you sign in to your financial institution website or mobile app and view your recent purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, or for Apple Music or iCloud services, you may see an option—such as View Receipt—that allows you to view more details about your transaction"


There's a lot more info. in the above linked articles if needed.
