How to Cancel — Step by Step
- 1Sign in to your Google Admin console using a Super Administrator account.
- 2In the Admin console, go to Menu > Billing > Subscriptions.
- 3Click on your Google Workspace subscription, then select 'More' (if available) > 'Cancel Subscription'.
- 4Select a reason for canceling and click 'Continue'.
- 5Review any offered alternatives to canceling and choose an option, or click 'Continue to cancel'.
- 6For your Workspace subscription, click 'Cancel My Subscription'.
Billed Through a Third Party?
- If you signed up for Workspace from Gmail on Android, you manage billing and subscriptions in Google Play.
- If you purchased Google Workspace through a reseller, you will need to contact your reseller for cancellation options.
Reactivating Your Account
- To resume an expiring Google Workspace Individual subscription before the end of the current billing period, go to 'manage your account' and under 'Subscription status,' click 'Resume subscription'.
- If an auto-renewal fails (e.g., due to an expired credit card), a seven-day grace period is provided to update payment information. If not updated, the subscription will auto-cancel.
Additional Notes
- Before canceling, it is crucial to export your organization's data, as you will lose access to premium Google Workspace services and your data will be deleted once your subscription ends.
- Canceling your subscription stops future payments for Google Workspace services, but you typically retain access to features until the end of your current subscription period and billing cycle.
- Deleting your organization's Google Account is a separate process from canceling a subscription and will free your domain for use with a new Google Account.
- Inform team members about the cancellation decision and how user emails, files, and access will be handled after the plan is canceled.
