Looking to cancel your PromoteKit subscription? This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to do it, what to watch out for, and how to make a clean exit without losing important data.

Looking to cancel your PromoteKit subscription? Whether you’re scaling back, reducing costs, or switching to a more flexible platform, this guide walks you through the cancellation process step-by-step. Plus, we’ll introduce a smarter alternative.

Why Some Users Move Away from PromoteKit

PromoteKit is a strong Stripe-native affiliate tool with a free plan, flexible tracking (links, coupons, subscriptions or one-time payments), fraud protection, and branded portals.

Still, depending on your needs, you might encounter some limitations:

  • Limited payout options – While PayPal and Wise are supported, invoice generation for affiliate commissions isn't available.
  • No auto-payouts – All commission payouts must be handled manually.
  • Support availability – Some users required contacting their Stripe partner for custom support needs.
  • Scaling plans – Beyond the free tier (3 referrals), growth plans are fixed at $39/month for revenues up to $10k/month.

If you want more automation, invoice handling, or scalable payout options, it may be time to explore alternatives.

How to Cancel PromoteKit

PromoteKit doesn’t offer a one-click cancel link on the website—users typically manage billing via Stripe. Here's how to do it:

1. Cancel via Stripe Dashboard

If the app was connected via Stripe, removal must be done through your Stripe dashboard:

  • Log into Stripe
  • Navigate to Connected Apps, find PromoteKit
  • Click “Disconnect” or “Revoke Access”

2. Remove Billing Authorization

If PromoteKit charged your card directly, there will be a recurring payment method listed:

  • Go to Customers > Subscriptions in Stripe
  • Find the PromoteKit subscription and choose Cancel subscription

3. Email PromoteKit Support

If you're unsure how the app was connected or want confirmation, email:

📩 support@promotekit.com

Include your business email and a polite request:

“Please cancel my PromoteKit subscription and confirm removal.”

If needed, support may direct you to Stripe settings or billing settings in your account.

Before You Cancel: A Few Tips

  • 💳 Save your data – Export affiliate lists, commissions, links.
  • 📌 Stop payout obligations – Schedule pending payouts before deletion.
  • 🔌 Remove webhooks or scripts – Ensure no broken links remain on your site after cancellation.
