Cancel a QR code generator subscription

Many people discover a QR code generator subscription when they see a charge on their statement. Here are the steps, in order, to stop it cleanly and keep evidence.

Your code stopped working? Check where it leads, then replace it with a code that depends on no subscription.

Check my QR code Create a code with no subscription

1. Find the service and the account

Look for the name on your bank statement and in your emails (“welcome”, “receipt”, “invoice”).
Find the email address used for the account: it is often the one you used to download the code.

2. Cancel from your account

Sign in, then look for “Subscription”, “Billing” or “Plan”.
Many countries require online subscriptions to be cancellable online, easily. In the EU, check your national rules; in France, an online “cancel in three clicks” function is mandatory.
Take a screenshot of the confirmation, with the date.

3. If you cannot find how to cancel

Email customer support asking for immediate cancellation and written confirmation. Keep a copy.
If the service does not answer and charges continue, contact your bank or card issuer: they can block future payments to that merchant.
You can also report the problem to your national consumer protection authority.

4. Replace your codes

Cancelling usually cuts your dynamic codes: plan their replacement before reprinting.
A free static code can never be cut off; an editable QR Durable code costs €2.99 once, no subscription.

Questions

Will cancelling cut my QR codes?

Usually yes, for codes that go through the service’s link. Create your new codes before reprinting.

Can I cancel by email?

Yes, a clear email asking for cancellation, with a reply or receipt, is useful evidence. Keep a copy.

What about months already paid?
