How Subscribers Cancel
Your subscribers can cancel their subscriptions by following these steps:
-
Tap Profile in the app navigation.
-
Select Account Settings.
-
Tap Manage your plans.
-
Choose the subscription to cancel.
-
Tap Cancel subscription.
-
Follow the guided steps based on their payment method.
If a subscriber resubscribes after canceling, their progress does not carry over. Subscriptions always restart fresh.
Cancellation Flows by Payment Type
The cancellation experience varies depending on how the user originally subscribed:
PassionPayments
- Cancel directly within your app
- Access continues until the end of their current billing period
- Subscription status will immediately update to show cancellation
As a creator, you can also manually cancel their subscription via Stripe: How to pause or cancel subscriptions.
App Stores (iOS and Google Play)
- Directed to their App Store subscription settings
- Must complete cancellation through the App Store subscription management
- Subscription status will update after App Store confirms cancellation
The in-app cancellation option cannot be disabled, as it is required to comply with App Store policies.
External Payment Method (PayPal, etc.)
-
Cancellations must be processed in your external payment provider
-
Subscribers see either default or your custom instructions
-
If enabled, subscribers can tap Contact us to reach you
