Canceling a subscription stops future orders.
This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Customers are able to cancel subscription orders from the Subscriber Portal.
Alternatively, shop owners can cancel a subscription on behalf of a customer.
From Ongoing, click on Subscriptions
2. Locate and select the subscription order
3. Under Subscription status, click Cancelled and Click Save Status
NOTE: Customers also have the choice to Pause a subscription instead of cancelling.
