Before you cancel: GoDaddy offers refunds on most products within their 30-day money-back guarantee window.

First: how are you billed for GoDaddy?

This decides where you cancel, and getting it wrong is the usual reason a cancellation appears impossible. If you subscribed inside an app on your phone, the payment is handled by Apple or Google — and GoDaddy’s own website has no cancel button for you.

Not sure? Check which account the charge appears on. A charge from Apple or Google rather than from GoDaddy tells you immediately.

Directly with the provider
  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account.
  2. Click your name in the top-right > "Renewals & Billing".
  3. Find the product and click "Turn Off Auto-Renew".
  4. Confirm. The product will expire at the end of the current period.
Through the Apple App Store

Apple subscription settingsOn iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions. On a Mac: App Store → your name → Account Settings. The provider’s own website cannot cancel an Apple-billed subscription.

  1. GoDaddy must be managed via the website.
Through Google Play

Google Play subscriptionsIn the Play Store app: tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Or play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions in a browser.

The billing routes above are inferred from the platforms GoDaddy is available on, not confirmed against the provider. If you find a route missing or wrong, tell us — that is the most useful correction you can send.

We do not hold GoDaddy’s official cancellation URL on file. Reach it from inside your account rather than from a search result — cancellation pages attract imitations designed to capture logins.

These steps are compiled from GoDaddy’s published documentation and have not been independently re-walked by us. Providers redesign account pages without notice, so treat the structure as a guide rather than a guarantee.

After you cancel

  • Keep the confirmation email or take a screenshot. It is the only evidence you have.
  • Most subscriptions run until the end of the period you have already paid for — cancelling is usually not the same as an immediate refund.
  • Check your next statement. A cancellation that did not register looks identical to one that did until the charge arrives.

Do not use a bank block or a chargeback as a way to cancel. Blocking a payment does not end a contract: the subscription usually stays active, the amount owed can keep accruing, and the account can end up with a collections agency. If you are charged after a confirmed cancellation, contact the provider in writing first, then your national consumer authority.

Pro Tips Before You Cancel

Still Can't Cancel? Here's What to Do

Contact GoDaddy Support

Search "GoDaddy cancel subscription support" for their current support page. Use live chat for the fastest response.

Block via Your Bank or PayPal

A bank block or a chargeback is not a way to cancel. Blocking the payment does not end the contract — the subscription usually stays active and the amount owed can keep building, sometimes ending up with a collections agency. A chargeback is a dispute process for charges you never authorised.

If you have cancelled and are still being charged, the order is: contact the provider in writing and keep the confirmation; if that fails, raise it with the consumer authority for your country (linked from our country pages); and only where the charge is genuinely unauthorised, raise a dispute with your card issuer.

Cancel via PayPal

If you pay via PayPal: Log in → Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments → find GoDaddy → Cancel.
