Cancellation Skillshare: Simple Process

What is Skillshare

Overview

Skillshare is an online learning platform offering thousands of classes in creative and business skills, available by subscription. Courses include design, photography, writing, animation and more, focused on project-based learning.

Subscription model

Access to premium classes requires a paid membership (monthly or annual). Mobile sign-ups through the iOS App Store or Google Play are handled by those stores, which affects cancellation and refunds.

How to cancel Skillshare

Cancel via web (Skillshare.com)

• Go to Skillshare Help - canceling on the web.
• Log in to your account on Skillshare.com.
• Open Account > Membership & Payments and choose Cancel. Your membership stays active until the end of the current billing period.

Cancel if you signed up via mobile apps

• If you subscribed through the iOS App Store, you must cancel via Apple’s subscription settings in your Apple ID; Skillshare cannot cancel App Store subscriptions for you.
• If you subscribed through Google Play, you must cancel via Google Play subscriptions; Skillshare cannot cancel Google Play subscriptions for you.
• See Skillshare’s app-specific guidance: How to cancel if you signed up through the app.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel on the web, your premium access remains active until the end of the current billing period. You can still view premium classes during that time.

Auto-renewal and account data

Cancellation stops automatic renewal at the next billing date. Your account, saved projects, and course progress typically remain associated with your account under Skillshare’s normal data practices.

Will I get a refund?

Refund policy summary

• If you signed up with a 7-day free trial, you may be eligible for a refund if you contact Skillshare within 48 hours of being billed.
• No refunds are generally provided for payments made after a 14-day (or longer) trial period, or for subscription renewals.

• Transaction ID or order number and the date you were charged.
• Proof of cancellation attempts (screenshots), renewal emails, and billing statements.

Common mistakes

Assuming Skillshare can cancel app-store subscriptions

Many users assume Skillshare support can stop App Store or Google Play subscriptions. Those subscriptions must be cancelled in Apple or Google account settings.

Missing renewal notices and refund windows

Another common mistake is waiting too long to request a refund after a trial or renewal. Trials and trial-related refunds have specific short windows (for example, 48 hours after billing in some cases).
