How do I cancel a membership?
Open the member on Programs > Memberships, use Cancel, choose end of paid period or right now, then Cancel the membership. Members can cancel in My account too.
You can end a membership for a member, or the member can do it themselves. Either way you can keep it running until the period they paid for ends.
Before you begin
- Front desk staff, managers and owners can cancel a membership.
Steps
Cancel for a member
- Open Memberships and press the member's name.
- In the Cancel box on the right, choose When:
- At the end of the period they paid for (with the date), or
- Right now.
- Optionally type a Reason (optional).
- Leave Email the member about this ticked to send them a confirmation, then press Cancel the membership.
Undo a cancellation
A membership set to end shows a Set to end box. Press Undo: keep the membership, and payments continue.
Withdraw an unpaid membership
A membership that is still Waiting for payment shows Withdraw it instead. It removes the membership and the card link stops working.
When the member cancels
Members sign in to My account and press Cancel membership. They can also press Update card & see payments to open Stripe's billing portal. If you turned off online cancelling on Plans & rules, the button sends you their request instead.
What you'll see
- The status becomes Ending (in the list filters) until the end date, then Ended.
- The member page History records who did it and the reason.
- Ended memberships stay under the Ended filter. Start again on an ended member sets up a new membership for the family.
Troubleshooting
The member says they cancelled but is still being charged. If they cancelled "at the end of the period," they are charged until that date. Open their membership to see the end date.
Questions
Does cancelling refund the member?
No refund is made automatically. Cancelling right now ends it at once, and the page says no refund is made. Refund a payment yourself if you decide to.
Can the member cancel without calling?
Yes, in My account on your website, if Members can cancel online in My account is ticked on Plans & rules. The membership stays active to the end of the period they paid for.
I cancelled by mistake. Can I undo it?
If it was set to end at the end of the period, press Undo: keep the membership on the member's page. A membership that has already ended needs a new one (Start a new membership).
