How to Stop a Subscription in PayPal

PayPal offers businesses and customers a way to securely pay for items online and also allows you to send money directly to another person's email account. In addition, you can use PayPal to purchase online subscriptions that allow you pay at a company in the future or set up reoccurring payments. However, you may want to cancel a reoccurring payment when you no longer need a service or if you have changed payment methods.

Step 1

Enter your email address and password and click "Log In" on the PayPal home page to access your PayPal account.

Step 2

Click "Profile" just below the page's heading and click "My Preapproved Payments" under "Financial Information" on the center of the page. Select "View Agreement" next to the name of the company that has the subscription.

Step 3

Click "Cancel" next to "Status" and click "Yes" when you see the "Cancel Confirmation" alert.
