For a paying subscriber

  • Turn off auto-renew: their paid subscription will end after their current billing period.
  • Cancel subscription: cancel their subscription to issue a prorated or full refund and they'll be downgraded to a free subscriber.

Remove from email list

Removing a free or paid subscriber from your email list will stop the subscriber from receiving any emails from your publication moving forward. For paying subscribers, their subscription will be canceled with a prorated refund.
