Canceling and deleting your Acuity Scheduling subscription

Deactivate your subscription immediately, or turn off auto-renew.

You can cancel your Acuity subscription at any time. It's only possible to manage your Acuity subscription from a computer.

If you log in with a Squarespace account

Note: These instructions apply if you log into Acuity with a Squarespace account. If you log in with an Acuity account, cancelling and deleting work differently. Visit the section below for specific steps. Which kind of account do I have?

When you cancel Acuity, it’s treated like all other canceled Squarespace subscriptions. Your subscription is canceled immediately and clients can no longer book appointments.

We automatically issue a full refund when you cancel your subscription within the first 14 days. To learn more about refunds, visit Refund policies.

Site owners and contributors with Admin or Billing permissions can make these changes.

Tip: If you're on an Acuity trial, the trial expires automatically, and you won't be charged unless you upgrade to a paid subscription. It's not possible to cancel a Acuity trial before it expires.

This guide reviews the two ways to end your subscription:

• Option 1 - Cancel your subscription to deactivate Acuity immediately.
• Option 2 - Disable auto-renew to let your Scheduling subscription expire at the end of the billing cycle.

Option 1 - Cancel your subscription

This option cancels your subscription immediately. Your clients cannot book appointments unless you reactivate on a new subscription.

To cancel your Acuity subscription if you added Acuity to a Squarespace website:

1. Open the Billing panel.
2. Under Subscriptions, click Scheduling.
3. Click Cancel Subscription.
4. In the next panel, click Cancel Scheduling Subscription.
5. Click Confirm.

1. In the account dashboard, click the three dots at the top-right of your Scheduling subscription's card, then click Billing.
2. Click your Acuity subscription.
3. Click Cancel Subscription.

Option 2 - Turn off auto-renew

This option sets your Acuity subscription to expire at the end of its current billing cycle. This means your clients can book appointments for the remainder of the cycle.

To turn off auto-renew for Acuity added to an existing Squarespace website:

1. Open the Billing panel.
2. Under Subscriptions, click Scheduling.
3. Switch the Renew Automatically toggle off.

To turn off auto-renew for Scheduling used on its own:

1. In the account dashboard, click the three dots at the top-right of your Scheduling subscription's card, then click Billing.
2. Click on your Acuity subscription.
3. Uncheck Renew Automatically.

After cancellation

After your Acuity subscription is canceled or expires, clients won't be able to book appointments. You can view past appointments and export client data, but you can't make changes in Acuity or book appointments for clients. Reminder and follow-up email notifications that are scheduled for existing appointments will not be sent.

If you shared your scheduler in a scheduling block, delete the block after canceling. It isn't removed automatically when you cancel.

Reactivate your subscription

If your Acuity subscription is canceled but not deleted, you may be able to reactivate it.

To reactivate your Acuity subscription:

1. In the Home menu, click Scheduling.
2. Follow the prompts to upgrade to a paid subscription.
3. Follow the steps to choose your plan.

Delete Acuity

If your Acuity subscription is not attached Squarespace website, you can delete it directly.

If your Acuity subscription is attached to a Squarespace website, you can cancel Acuity to make it inactive, but the only way to delete an Acuity subscription that's attached to a Squarespace website is to delete the website as well. Unless you have a special circumstance, we generally recommend cancelling Acuity and ignoring the now-inactive Acuity subscription, rather than deleting your entire website.

Deleting Acuity marks its content for permanent deletion.

If you’ve canceled Acuity as part of an effort to delete a Squarespace website, visit Deleting your site and its content for steps for deleting your site.

After deleting Acuity:

• You won’t be able to log in to make changes or view past data.
• Your scheduler won’t be accessible to visitors.
• Acuity won't appear in your account dashboard.
• Your scheduler and its data and content won’t be recoverable.

To delete Acuity:

1. In the account dashboard, click the three dots at the top-right of your Acuity subscription's card, then click Delete.
2. Click Delete to confirm.
