How to Cancel Zoho CRM Subscription

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

1. 1. Cancel the subscription

   Copy steps
   1. Sign in as the account administrator and open the Zoho subscription/billing area for your organization (Zoho Store / Subscriptions)
   2. Select Zoho CRM and choose to cancel or manage the subscription. The exact menu labels vary, so if you can't find it, use the email route below
   3. Alternatively write to cancellation@zohocorp.com from the admin address, naming the organization and product
   4. Zoho may offer a discount or a downgrade before confirming, so decide in advance what you accept
   Did this fix it? Yes No

2. 2. Cancel before the renewal date

   Copy steps
   1. Zoho states subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled
   2. Note your renewal date and cancel a few days earlier
   3. If you forgot, Zoho's policy still allows a full refund request within 5 business days after a monthly renewal or 15 days after an annual renewal
   Did this fix it? Yes No

3. 3. Request a refund

   Copy steps
   1. Zoho's refund policy: a full refund and move to the free plan if you are dissatisfied in the first month (monthly) or first 45 days (annual)
   2. Send refund requests to payments@zohocorp.com
   3. After those windows, Zoho says it does not process refunds, including prorated ones
   4. No refunds if the account was suspended or blocked for Terms of Service violations
   Did this fix it? Yes No

4. 4. Downgrade instead of cancelling

   Copy steps
   1. Reducing licenses, changing edition or removing an add-on mid-contract on an annual plan gives credit as a subscription extension, not cash
   2. Zoho's formula for unused licenses: total amount paid minus (monthly list price x months used)
   3. The Free edition covers up to 3 users if you only need basic features
   Did this fix it? Yes No

5. 5. Export your data first

   Copy steps
   1. In CRM go to Setup > Data Administration > Export and export each module
   2. Workflows, Blueprints and Deluge functions don't export, so document them manually
   3. Confirm with Zoho support what happens to your data after cancellation, since the policy page doesn't spell it out
   Did this fix it? Yes No
