Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to Skillshare premium classes until the end of your current billing period. Your account and class progress will remain saved, but you'll be downgraded to Free tier with limited access after your subscription expires.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Skillshare Account

Step 2: Access Account Settings
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Go to Payments
In the Account Settings page, click on "Payments" in the left sidebar, or directly visit www.skillshare.com/settings/payments.
Step 4: Find Your Membership
Locate your current Skillshare membership. You'll see your membership details and next billing date.
Step 5: Cancel Membership
Click "Cancel membership" or "Cancel subscription". Skillshare will show you information about when your premium access will end.
Step 6: Confirm Cancellation
Review the cancellation details carefully. Skillshare may show you benefits you'll lose. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel membership" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation email.
Troubleshooting
I can't find the Cancel button
- Make sure you're signed in to the correct Skillshare account
- Try accessing the payments page directly: www.skillshare.com/settings/payments
- Look for "Payments" in Account Settings, not "Profile" or "Notifications"
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
I subscribed through a third party
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system:
- Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Skillshare
- Google Play: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > Skillshare
I want to pause instead of cancel
Skillshare doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your account or class progress.
I'm being charged after cancellation
- Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
- Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
- Make sure you clicked "Cancel membership" and confirmed
- Contact Skillshare Support if charges continue after the cancellation date
What happens to my class progress?
Your account and class progress will remain saved after cancellation. However, you'll lose access to premium classes and be limited to free tier content.
What happens to my saved classes?
Your saved classes and watchlists will remain in your account, but you'll only be able to access free tier classes after your membership expires.
