Cancel a client’s membership

Updated this week

Note: For guidance on how to stay compliant with the FTC’s updated Click to Cancel rules, see FTC Click-to-Cancel Compliance: What WellnessLiving Businesses Need to Know.

You can cancel a client’s membership from the Passes & Memberships page on the client’s profile or from the Edit Purchase Option page. Canceling a membership stops all future billing and access, and you'll have the option to apply a refund during the cancellation process.

Clients may ask to put the membership on hold for future use or convert it to a different Purchase Option upon expiration. For business that allow clients to cancel, clients can cancel their own membership from the My Schedule section of the Client Portal or Achieve Client App.

Staff members with the Receive membership cancel notification staff role permission are sent a notification when a client cancels their membership.

Key tips

  • You can allow clients to use the remaining visits on a membership after it’s been canceled.

  • When a membership is canceled, any upcoming visits already booked and paid with that membership remain in the client's upcoming schedule.

  • Canceling a client’s membership stops auto-payments after the deactivation date. If the membership has an outstanding balance from a failed auto-payment, the amount appears in the Amount Owed column of the membership’s payment schedule.

  • To cancel the membership, remove any holds or wait until the hold period ends.
