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
- Their subscription status updates after you manually process the cancellation
To cancel your users' external checkout subscriptions:
- Go to People and search for the client by email.
- Open the client's profile and go to their Offer & billing tab.
- Find the active plan and cancel it there.
The exact cancel action inside the Offer & billing tab wasn't independently verified in this pass β confirm before publishing.
You must also cancel the subscription in your external payment platform (e.g., PayPal) to prevent further billing.

- Go to Settings β General β Custom cancellation instructions.
