How to cancel PandaDoc

The account owner cancels in Settings, Billing, then Cancel subscription, or asks support chat for the Free eSign plan, which keeps existing documents. Orders are non-cancelable and non-refundable, and annual terms auto-renew for a year unless written notice reaches legal@pandadoc.com 30 days before the term ends.

The short answer

  • Where: Sign in as the account owner and go to Settings, then Billing.
  • When it ends: A monthly plan cancelled before its renewal date keeps access through the end of the current month. Plan changes on an active subscription take effect from the next invoice date (immediately on a trial or an expired subscription).
  • Contract notice: Written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the term's end date, unless the Order says otherwise; without it, every seat and volume product renews for a one-year term. How to give notice
  • Before you go: export Completed documents. What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Free plan and more. Options

Before you cancel

Export first

  • Completed documents: Download them; this still works after switching to the Free eSign plan support.pandadoc.com
  • Documents and other Customer Content: Retrieve copies at any time while the agreement is in effect. After it ends, you can ask PandaDoc within 60 days to let you retrieve what remains. After the 60-day period, content may be deleted pandadoc.com

What happens to your data

On the Free eSign plan all existing documents stay in the account while it is active. After the agreement ends, content can be retrieved on request for 60 days, then may be deleted.

What you lose

  • Sending beyond 60 documents a year or to more than 2 recipients per document (Free eSign plan)
  • Creating new templates while you have more than 5 (Free eSign plan)
  • Content library items, which become inaccessible on the Free eSign plan

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan The Free eSign plan: 60 documents a year with 2 recipients each, up to 5 templates, unlimited team members. Existing documents stay, but Content library items become inaccessible. Ask Fin in the support chat to switch you support.pandadoc.com
  • Cheaper plan Monthly plans can be downgraded as needed (for example, back to the Free eSign plan in quiet months); changes take effect at the end of the billing cycle support.pandadoc.com
  • Fewer seats Remove users under Settings, Team and seats, then lower the seat count in Settings, Billing, Manage Plan, Manage Current Plan support.pandadoc.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Only the account owner can see Billing: other users can't cancel
  • PandaDoc's help page asks you to contact support before cancelling
  • Annual Orders renew for a year unless written notice reaches legal@pandadoc.com at least 30 days before the term ends
  • Download what you need before the agreement ends: afterwards retrieval is by request, for 60 days only
  • A cancelled or expired account can be reactivated later from the Billing tab

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/pandadoc.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.
