How to cancel Ko-fi

Open Account & Billing at ko-fi.com, find the item under Subscriptions, then choose Cancel Gold for a Ko-fi Gold plan or Don't Renew for a creator membership. Benefits run to the end of the paid period. If you paid through PayPal and see no cancel button, cancel the pre-approved payment in PayPal.

Step-by-step cancellation

These steps only appear when the flow was verified against an official provider or platform source.

Cancel Ko-fi Gold (creator subscription)

  1. 1

    Navigate to your Account & Billing page at ko-fi.com/account (from the Ko-fi Menu: More > Account Settings).

  2. 2

    Under Subscriptions, locate your "Ko-fi Gold Subscription".

  3. 3

    Select the three dots and choose "Cancel Gold".

  4. 4

    Confirm. Ko-fi says you won't be charged again but retain your benefits until the subscription renewal date.

  5. 5

    Re-open Account & Billing to confirm the subscription is shown as cancelled.

  • Ko-fi states that once the paid period ends, in most cases you are automatically moved to contributor status so you don't lose premium features — the difference being a 5% service fee on payments you receive instead of a monthly or yearly Gold payment.
  • Ko-fi says your memberships, recurring payments, and most changes to your page and settings remain after Gold expires.

If you subscribed to Gold with PayPal and see no "Cancel Gold" button

  1. 1

    Log into your PayPal account.

  2. 2

    Navigate to the pre-approved payments section (paypal.com/myaccount/autopay) and find the agreement for Ko-fi Labs Limited.

  3. 3

    Next to the status, click Cancel to stop renewal of the subscription.

  4. 4

    Confirm the cancellation — Ko-fi says the Gold subscription will then not renew and is cancelled.

  • The merchant name to look for in PayPal is Ko-fi Labs Limited.

If you are a supporter cancelling a membership to a creator

  1. 1

    Log in to your Ko-fi account and go to Account Settings / Account & Billing at ko-fi.com/account.

  2. 2

    Scroll to the Subscriptions section, where your active memberships are listed.

  3. 3

    Click the three dots next to the membership you want to stop.

  4. 4

    Choose "Don't Renew".

  5. 5

    The membership status changes to "cancelled" — Ko-fi says you keep access to content and benefits until the membership period ends and won't be charged again.

  • If you don't have a Ko-fi account, Ko-fi says to follow the Manage Subscription link in the email you received, which guides you through signing up; if the link no longer works, resetting the password for that email address creates the account.
  • Ko-fi documents that an overdue membership, if cancelled, ends right away rather than running to a period end.

If your membership to a creator is paid through PayPal

  1. 1

    Go to PayPal Settings (paypal.com/myaccount/settings/payments).

  2. 2

    Click Payments.

  3. 3

    Select Automatic payments (paypal.com/myaccount/autopay).

  4. 4

    Select the merchant — Ko-fi says any Ko-fi subscriptions show up under "Ko-fi", and to check the Description to confirm which creator it is.

  5. 5

    Cancel the automatic payment.

  • Ko-fi states that supporters paying through PayPal can manage their membership directly in PayPal without needing to create a Ko-fi account.

Common problems

Only official-source troubleshooting notes are included here.

You cancelled Ko-fi Gold but are still seeing charges.

Ko-fi says to first check Account & Billing to confirm the subscription really is cancelled. If you cancelled after the auto-billing date and still see charge attempts, submit a request through the Ko-fi help centre and they'll sort it out.

A supporter can't find their membership to cancel it.

Ko-fi lists three causes: they're logged into the wrong account, they signed up with a different email (search the inbox for "Ko-fi" and the "You joined [the tier name]" welcome email), or the payment failed. If none apply, Ko-fi asks them to contact support with the creator's Ko-fi page link, the membership tier they joined, when they paid, and the amount paid.

You want a refund for a Ko-fi membership payment.

Ko-fi states that payments are between the creator and the supporter, so the creator issues the refund — Ko-fi publishes a separate guide for creators on how to do it. Cancelling on its own does not produce a refund.

What happens after you cancel?

Post-cancellation details like access, downgrade behavior, and refund caveats are shown only when the provider documents them.

  • Ko-fi says you won't be charged again on the next billing date, and you keep all Gold benefits until the end of the subscription period.
  • When the period ends, most Gold accounts are switched automatically to contributor status, which keeps the premium features but deducts a 5% service fee from each payment you receive instead of a monthly charge.
  • Ko-fi states memberships, recurring payments, and most page and settings customisations remain after Gold expires.
  • Contributor status can be turned off at any time from your account settings.
  • For supporters, the membership shows as "cancelled" and access to content and benefits continues until the membership period ends.

Refund notes

  • Ko-fi documents no refund for a cancelled Gold subscription — cancelling stops the next charge and you keep Gold benefits until the renewal date. For memberships, Ko-fi states that all payments are between the creator and the supporter, so any refund is issued by the creator, not by Ko-fi. If you cancelled after the auto-billing date and still see charge attempts, Ko-fi asks you to contact its support team.

FAQ

How do I cancel my Ko-fi Gold subscription?

Go to Account & Billing at ko-fi.com/account (Ko-fi Menu > More > Account Settings), find "Ko-fi Gold Subscription" under Subscriptions, select the three dots and choose "Cancel Gold". Ko-fi says you won't be charged again but keep your benefits until the renewal date. Re-check Account & Billing to confirm it shows as cancelled.

How does a supporter cancel a Ko-fi membership to a creator?

The supporter logs in to their own Ko-fi account, opens Account & Billing, scrolls to Subscriptions, clicks the three dots next to the membership and chooses "Don't Renew". Ko-fi says the status changes to cancelled and access to content and benefits continues until the membership period ends.

What happens to my Ko-fi page after Gold is cancelled?

Ko-fi says that when the paid period ends most accounts are automatically switched to contributor status, which keeps the Gold features — such as the custom "coffee" metaphor and page colour — but takes a 5% service fee from each payment you receive instead of a subscription charge. Memberships, recurring payments and most page customisations stay in place.

Why can't I see the Cancel Gold button on Ko-fi?

Ko-fi documents this for PayPal subscribers: if you subscribed to Gold using PayPal and can't locate "Cancel Gold", log into PayPal, go to the pre-approved payments section, find Ko-fi Labs Limited, and click Cancel next to the status to stop the renewal.

Can a cancelled Ko-fi membership be reactivated?

No. Ko-fi states that once a membership is cancelled it can't be reactivated — the supporter has to sign up again on the creator's page. If the tier is full, the creator can open a slot from their Membership settings.
