How to cancel Thinkific

Before you cancel

Export first

• User report (students and other users, with sign-up custom-field answers): From the Admin Dashboard, select Users, then All Users, then Export; an email arrives with a link to download it (CSV). Needs the Basic plan or above; only visible columns are included support.thinkific.com
• Site Content (Thinkific Plus): Request an export from Thinkific within 90 days after termination (A standard format). After 90 days Thinkific may delete all Site Content and the account thinkific.com

What happens to your data

Once an account is cancelled, all content may be permanently deleted, and deletion is irreversible. Thinkific Plus: 90 days after termination to request an export, then deletion.

What you lose

• Access to your Admin Dashboard, learning products, landing and product pages, and order, transaction and user tables
• Paid features such as a custom domain, bundles and memberships
• Add-on features, immediately
• The ability to adjust student information, edit student subscriptions or course content, or moderate communities
• Students' access through your site's mobile app, if you enabled one

Cancel, by who bills you

Pick the route for whoever charges you: the name on your card statement or receipt tells you.

For AI agents

• The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
• Only the Site Owner can cancel
• Cancel students' recurring payments yourself first: they keep being charged even after you cancel or delete the Thinkific account
• Remove the custom domain as Primary before the plan ends; if you don't, the .thinkific.com URL redirects to the inactive domain and you can't reach the Admin Dashboard without Support
• Cancelling is not deleting: an account on an active plan can't be deleted; cancel first, then ask Support to delete (permanent)
• Thinkific Plus contracts renew for a year unless written notice is given 60 days before the term ends

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

Not confirmed yet

• An older Thinkific article (support.thinkific.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039914873) still says cancelling moves the account to a Free plan; the pricing page says there's no free plan and the main cancel article says you lose the Admin Dashboard, so the packet follows those two
• Whether the cancel popups ask for a reason or show an offer is not documented
• How to reach Thinkific Plus contract contacts beyond the Order Form's notice address is not documented on pages we read
