Cancel Parallels: Complete Guide
What is Parallels
Overview
Parallels is software that lets you run Windows and other operating systems on a Mac using virtualization.
It is distributed as Parallels Desktop editions, Parallels Toolbox, and subscription options through Parallels’ online store and the Apple App Store.
Main uses
People use Parallels to run Windows-only applications, test software, or maintain multiple operating systems on one machine.
Licensing and support differ by purchase channel (direct vs App Store) and product edition.
How to cancel Parallels
Web (direct purchase)
- Log in to your Parallels account at the Parallels website.
- Go to Subscriptions or Account -> Subscriptions and locate the active subscription.
- Choose Cancel Renewal and confirm before the next billing cycle to stop future charges.
- If you cannot find the subscription, use your purchase confirmation email or the purchase lookup on the Parallels site.
- Note: cancellation stops future billing but does not automatically create a refund.
Apple App Store
- You must cancel App Store subscriptions on your Apple device; Parallels cannot cancel for you.
- On macOS: open System Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions, find Parallels Desktop, then choose "Cancel Subscription".
- On iPhone/iPad: open Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions and cancel from there.
- Parallels cannot process refunds or cancellations for purchases made through the App Store.
What happens when you cancel
Access and license
After cancellation you typically retain access until the end of the paid billing period.
Licenses do not usually expire immediately on cancellation; access ends when the current subscription term ends.
Billing and renewals
- Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively reverse charges.
- Renewal charges are excluded from Parallels’ refund policy in most cases.
Account data
Your account and purchase records remain accessible for support and proof of purchase.
Keep confirmation emails and receipts if you need to request a refund or dispute a charge.
Will I get a refund?
Direct (Parallels Online Store)
- Initial purchases through the Parallels Online Store have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- To request a refund you must contact Parallels Customer Support; renewal transactions are excluded.
- Parallels Toolbox also has a full refund within 30 days of purchase from the online store.
App Store and renewals
- App Store purchases and refunds are governed solely by Apple’s refund policies; Parallels cannot issue these refunds.
- Renewal charges are not refundable under Parallels’ stated policy.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Refund and cooling-off
Under Nigerian consumer protection practice (FTCPC), cooling-off rules may apply in certain sales, but digital content delivered instantly is often non-returnable.
Parallels explicitly offers a 30-day refund for initial online-store purchases; renewals are excluded.
Chargebacks and complaints
- If a refund is unfairly denied, Nigerian consumers may contact their bank to request a chargeback for disputed automatic renewals.
- You can also file complaints with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FTCPC) or use local dispute resolution channels.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Many users report Parallels performs well and enables seamless switching between Mac and Windows applications.
- Users appreciate performance and compatibility for common cross-platform tasks.
Common complaints
- Complaints often cite unexpected auto-renewals with little or no pre-notice and difficulty obtaining refunds for renewals.
- Other common issues include slow or unresponsive customer support and problems accessing accounts when the registered email is inactive.
Documentation checklist
Required documents
- Purchase confirmation email or order number from Parallels or the reseller.
- Proof of payment (card statement, receipt) showing the charge you want reversed.
- Account email address used for the Parallels account.
Helpful supporting items
- Screenshots of subscription entries in your Parallels account or Apple Subscriptions screen.
- Any correspondence with Parallels support and timestamps of renewal charges.
Common mistakes
Missed cancellation window
A frequent mistake is waiting until after renewal to cancel; renewals are excluded from Parallels’ refund policy.
Cancel at least one billing cycle before the next renewal to avoid unwanted charges.
Wrong cancellation channel
Attempting to cancel an App Store subscription via Parallels support is ineffective; App Store subscriptions must be cancelled in your Apple ID settings.
Similarly, requesting a Parallels online-store refund for an App Store purchase will be denied; contact Apple for App Store refunds.
