  • Click on the customer’s name or account to open the order details page with the subscription.















Step 2 - Locate the Customer's Subscription:

  • Check the product description section

    NotingMake sure to click on the correct product if there are multiple descriptions

  • Click on the “View Subscriptions” hyperlink to make sure to be routed to the correct product subscription that the customer wants to cancel in the Recharge app.



Step 3 - Initiate the Cancellation:

  • On the subscription details page, click on Actions.

  • Select Cancel Subscription from the dropdown menu.

  • A dialog box will appear asking for confirmation. Confirm the cancellation by clicking Cancel Subscription again.




Step 4 - Provide Cancellation Reason:

  • Select a reason for the cancellation from the dropdown menu (recommended for tracking purposes).

  • Add any additional notes explaining the reason for the cancellation (optional).

  • Tick the box to send confirmation email to the customer for the cancellation processed.



Step 5 - Confirm the Cancellation:

  • Ensure that the subscription status is updated to Cancelled.

  • Verify that no further charges will be made to the customer’s account.

  • Send a confirmation email to the customer acknowledging that their subscription has been cancelled.

  • Include any relevant information about refunds (if applicable) and the effective date of the cancellation.


Once it is successfully processed, it will be grade-out and crashed out from the customer’s account and shows no upcoming orders.

  • Maintain accurate records of the cancellation transaction, including the reason for cancellation and any supporting documentation.

  • Verify that no further charges will be made to the customer’s account following the cancellation.
