How to Cancel Zoho Bookings
Stopping paid renewal, downgrading to Free and deleting a Bookings account are separate actions. Open Manage subscriptions in Zoho Bookings or ask support to confirm the process for your billing channel. Stopping use of Free does not delete the account. For Zoho One or a bundle, confirm the affected subscription and products before proceeding. Export the records you need, update booking links and obtain the effective date before changing access.
Quick Answer
Export your appointments and customers before changing the plan. Open Manage subscriptions in Zoho Bookings or contact [email protected] to cancel paid renewal or downgrade; confirm the effective date for your billing channel. Free retains one user, one event type and email notifications/reminders, but loses Premium SMS gateways and payment collection. The current English plan table lists limited Free CRM sync, with broader mapping on paid plans; confirm your account version. Bookings account deletion is a separate action after a Free downgrade. Check Zoho One or bundle scope before confirming any change.
How to Cancel Zoho Bookings
Follow these steps to cancel your Zoho Bookings subscription
Log into your Zoho account
Go to zoho.com and sign in with your account credentials. Navigate to Zoho Bookings or go to your Zoho subscription management page at store.zoho.com.
Export your booking data first
Before canceling, export your client list, appointment history, and any custom field data. In Bookings 2.0, use Admin Center > Data Administration > Export Data for appointments and customers in CSV/XLSX. Access follows your permissions; fields designated ePHI/PII are excluded. Export Zoho CRM separately and check bundle scope before cancellation.
Open Manage subscriptions
Open Manage subscriptions in your Zoho Bookings account. If the account is billed through Zoho One, another bundle or a different billing channel, ask [email protected] which subscription controls apply and which products the change affects.
Downgrade or cancel your subscription
Use the subscription controls for your billing channel and confirm the effective date. Zoho's Bookings FAQ describes opening Upgrade to downgrade paid accounts to Free. Full deletion is separate: after the downgrade, the documented control is profile picture > Delete my account. Export first and contact [email protected] if your version or bundle shows different controls.
Confirm cancellation and save proof
Complete the cancellation process and save any confirmation email or reference number. Verify in your Zoho account that the subscription status has changed. Check that your payment method is no longer being charged.
Zoho Bookings Refund Policy
Zoho's policy offers a full refund for unresolved dissatisfaction within the first month of a monthly subscription or the first 45 days of an annual subscription. Accidental renewals have separate request windows: five business days for monthly renewal and 15 days for annual renewal. If functionality available at signup is removed, broken or discontinued and Zoho cannot resolve it or provide a satisfactory workaround, the policy offers a prorated remainder refund. Partial annual downgrades instead provide subscription-extension credits for active licenses, calculated using monthly list price and excluding discounts. Policy violations exclude refunds. Request through [email protected]; cancellation-policy questions can go to [email protected].
Export Your Data First
Make sure to save your important data before canceling Zoho Bookings
In Bookings 2.0, open Admin Center > Data Administration > Export Data, choose Customers and CSV or XLSX, then select fields. Export is available on all plans but follows user permissions; more than 10,000 customers requires a support ticket
In the same Export Data page, choose Appointments, set the full start/end date range needed, select fields and export. Super admins/admins export all workspaces; workspace admins/managers export assigned workspaces, and staff export assigned appointments
Select Include Custom Fields for permitted fields, then verify the download. Fields marked ePHI or PII are excluded even when selecting all fields; arrange the required authorized records transfer with support before deletion
Export Zoho CRM separately through Setup > Data Administration > Export, with the required export permission. Choose the needed module and filters; Bookings exports do not provide a complete CRM backup
Screenshot your service configurations (names, durations, pricing, descriptions)
Note your staff member list and their availability settings
What Happens After You Cancel Zoho Bookings
A downgrade to Free can keep basic booking active within one user and one event type; complete account closure is different
Premium group bookings and other paid entitlements are lost; booking-form field availability follows the destination plan rather than a blanket loss of every custom field
The current English plan table limits Free CRM sync to name, email and phone in Leads or Contacts; broader standard-module and custom-module mapping require paid plans. Verify your version, preserve CRM data separately and check bundle or whole-account closure implications
A Free downgrade removes Premium SMS gateway integration; Free retains email notifications and reminders, so review the remaining notification settings
Custom domains require Premium; verify the remaining Zoho booking URL and update links rather than assuming automatic redirection
A Free downgrade removes Premium payment-provider integration; check existing payments and any separate provider agreement before changing plans
Common Cancellation Issues
Canceling Bookings affects other Zoho services
Check the subscription that actually bills your account. A standalone Bookings change and a Zoho One/bundle change have different scope. Ask the relevant subscription support team to confirm which products, users and renewal charges the proposed change affects before proceeding.
Still being charged after cancellation
Verify your cancellation at store.zoho.com. If charges continue after your billing period ends, contact Zoho support with your cancellation confirmation. Check for separate annual renewals if you paid annually.
Lost access to booking history after canceling
Export all data before canceling. If you forgot, contact Zoho support promptly, ask whether recovery is possible; no post-cancellation recovery window is established here.
Clients still booking through old Zoho link
Update all booking links on your website, social media, and Google Business Profile to point to your new scheduling tool before canceling. Set up a redirect if possible.
