Canceling a website subscription can be done in two ways: immediate cancellation or disabling automatic renewal. Before proceeding, consider these important factors:

Pre-Cancellation Considerations:

  • Back up your content by exporting it
  • Understand that shop and customer subscriptions will be canceled
  • Annual plan cancellations within 14 days lose free domain eligibility ($20 fee applies)
  • Subscription transfers between sites aren't possible
  • Digital product subscriptions pause for 30 days after cancellation

Alternative Options:

  • Adjust subscription or billing period
  • Optimize SEO performance
  • Switch templates or upgrade platform version
  • Refresh website design
  • Hire an expert for assistance

Refund Policy:

  • Annual subscriptions: Full refund within 14 days of first payment
  • Monthly subscriptions: No refunds available
  • Renewal payments: No refunds
  • Processing time: 3-10 business days

Cancellation Methods:

  1. Immediate Cancellation:
  • Navigate to Payment menu
  • Select Website/E-Commerce subscription
  • Click Cancel Subscription
  • Follow prompts to complete cancellation
  1. Disable Auto-Renewal:
  • Access Payment menu
  • Select Website/Shop under Subscriptions
  • Toggle off "Automatically Renew"

Post-Cancellation Access:

  • Payment history
  • Domain management
  • Content export
  • Google Workspace settings
  • Permission settings
  • Products and sales data
  • Email marketing (if active)
  • Digital products
  • Contact information
  • Scheduling features

Other Subscriptions:

  • Domains remain active and transferable
  • Digital products pause for 30 days
  • Google Workspace continues billing
  • Email marketing remains accessible
  • Acuity Scheduling stays active

Note: Your website will eventually be removed from search results after cancellation, though timing varies by search engine. You can reactivate your website later, but subscription transfers between sites aren't possible.
