When should I stop a campaign?

You might want to stop a campaign if:

  • You're no longer promoting the track or playlist

  • You want to pause spend before renewal

  • You're planning to switch creatives or strategy

  • You want your unspent budget returned to your Credit Wallet for a future campaign


Part 1: How to stop your campaign

Step 1: Open your campaign

Head to your Soundlink dashboard and open the active campaign you want to stop.

Step 2: Click the Manage button

Next to the Auto-renew toggle, you'll see a Manage button. Click that.

Step 3: Select "Stop campaign"

From the menu, select Stop campaign. This immediately stops the campaign from running further ads.

A couple of things to know:

  • Stopping a campaign immediately halts all future spend

  • You won't be charged beyond what's already been delivered

  • Any unspent budget for the current cycle is automatically returned to your Credit Wallet


Part 2: Your unspent budget returns to your Credit Wallet

As of June 16, 2026, Soundlink no longer processes monetary refunds for stopped campaigns, in line with our updated Terms & Conditions. Instead, any unspent budget is automatically returned to your Credit Wallet — no request needed.

Here's how it works:

  • Automatic: Credits are returned to your wallet as soon as the campaign is stopped — you don't need to contact us

  • Shared across your workspace: Returned credits go back into your organisation's Credit Wallet and are available to all team members

  • Use them on your next campaign: Credits can be applied when launching a new campaign at checkout

  • Not applicable to active renewals: Credits cannot be applied to an already-running campaign or an in-progress renewal charge

  • No cash refunds: As of June 16, 2026, monetary refunds are no longer available per our updated Terms & Conditions. All unspent budget is returned exclusively as Credit Wallet balance

To check your returned credits, go to Settings → Credit wallet and review your transaction history. You can also read more about how the wallet works in [Billing] Understanding the Credit Wallet →
