Step-by-Step Guide to Cancel GoHighLevel
Canceling GoHighLevel isn’t instant, but it’s straightforward once you know the process. Here’s how to do it quickly and cleanly:
-
Log into Your GoHighLevel Account
Go to gohighlevel.com and sign in using your credentials. -
Navigate to Settings > Billing
From your agency dashboard, look to the left-hand sidebar and click Settings at the bottom. Inside Settings, select Billing to access your subscription details. -
Click “Modify or Cancel”
On the Billing page, scroll to the section showing your current plan. You’ll find a small hyperlink that says “To modify or cancel, click here.” Click it to open your cancellation options. -
Choose “Show More Options”
A popup will appear with upgrade/downgrade choices. At the bottom, click “Show more options” to unlock the cancel feature. -
Provide a Cancellation Reason
GoHighLevel will ask why you’re leaving. Select an option that best matches your situation—or choose “Other” if you prefer not to share. -
Confirm on the Final Page
You’ll land on a page with additional info and a video. Scroll to the bottom and confirm your cancellation request. This is not the final step—yet. -
Wait for Email Confirmation (24–36 Hours)
Your request is routed to a real person on GoHighLevel’s support team. Once approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email and your account will be officially closed.
Pro Tip: Make your cancellation request at least 2–3 days before your next billing date to avoid unexpected charges.
Pause vs. Cancel: What’s the Difference?
If you’re not sure whether to completely cancel your account, GoHighLevel does offer a pause feature. Here’s how they stack up:
Feature | Pause Account | Cancel Account |
---|---|---|
Data retained | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (data is deleted) |
Access to platform | ❌ Temporarily disabled | ❌ No access |
Billing paused | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Reactivation possible | ✅ Yes | ❌ Must start over |
Support required? | ✅ Yes (contact support) | ❌ No (self-serve) |
Pause if you might return.
Cancel if you’re done for good.
🔍 Which Option Is Right for You?
Here’s a quick breakdown by use case:
Your Situation | Recommended Action |
---|---|
You’re testing alternatives | Pause |
You’re switching platforms permanently | Cancel |
You’re on vacation or scaling down | Pause |
You want to stop trial before charges | Cancel Trial |
You sold a client a SaaS account | Disable SaaS |
For SaaS sub-accounts (client accounts), the process is different:
-
Go to Agency View > Accounts > View Details
-
Click “Disable SaaS” and cancel Stripe subscription
-
Export transaction and wallet history beforehand
-
Remove users from the Team section if needed
Before You Cancel: Export Everything
Once your account is canceled, you’ll lose:
-
CRM Contacts
-
Pipelines & Funnels
-
Automations
-
Campaign history
-
Reporting data
-
SaaS client snapshots (if applicable)
Must-dos before cancellation:
-
Export all contact and campaign data
-
Save your workflows to Google Docs or Notion
-
Back up client snapshots if you’re running SaaS mode
-
Disconnect Twilio, Mailgun, or Stripe if clients are leaving
