Requesting a Refund

Written by Ben Dupont

Refunds are handled directly through the platform where the subscription was purchased:

  • Apple App Store

  • Google Play Store

  • Web (via Stripe)

Regardless of whether a customer is on a Monthly or Annual plan, they can cancel their membership and request a refund within 48-72 hours of subscribing. If the request falls within this timeframe, refunds are typically granted, but it’s important to note that approval is at the discretion of Apple, Google, and Stripe and not all refund requests will necessarily be accepted.

Requesting a refund via Stripe, the Google Play Store or the App Store must be carried out within 48-72 hours of subscribing. Although most refunds will be granted if they are within this timeframe, it's important to note that not all refund requests will be approved by Stripe, Apple & Google.
