For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: The flow offers to pause instead (I want to pause my subscription) and asks why you are cancelling before the final Cancel subscription
  • Uninstalling the Canva app does not cancel a mobile subscription
  • Check the billing email or bank statement to see whether Canva, Google, Apple or PayPal charges you
  • Cancelling Canva Teams is permanent: you can't resubscribe to Teams later
  • Make sure you are logged in to the right account or team before cancelling
  • Canva bills on UTC time, so a charge, including the one when a free trial ends, can come a day earlier than expected in your time zone: cancel before then

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/canva.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).
