How to cancel ShoeDazzle in india and protect your payment rights
What is ShoeDazzle and how does it work
ShoeDazzle is a membership-based fashion platform that curates and delivers footwear and accessories tailored to your personal style each month. You join the service, set your style preferences, and the platform sends you curated selections that align with your taste. You can purchase items at member rates, use VIP credits to discount your purchases, or skip a month entirely if you do not want that month's selection.
The service operates primarily from the United States, serving US and Canadian customers with published policies for those regions. India does not currently have a dedicated ShoeDazzle storefront or India-specific pricing structure, which means you access the service through the international platform and pay in foreign currency, typically USD. This creates important legal and financial considerations you should understand before subscribing, and critical steps you must take if you decide to cancel.
Why indian consumers need to be careful with ShoeDazzle
Because ShoeDazzle is a US-based service without India-specific terms or pricing, your consumer rights under the Indian Consumer Protection Act, 2019 may not directly apply to disputes with the company. Additionally, monthly recurring charges in foreign currency can create unexpected billing surprises due to currency fluctuations and international payment processing fees. At Yafee, we help Indian consumers understand these cross-border subscription risks and navigate cancellation safely.
Currency and payment risks for indian subscribers
When you subscribe to ShoeDazzle from India, your Indian bank or credit card processes the payment in USD and converts it to INR at the current exchange rate. Your bank charges a currency conversion fee, typically between 1 per cent and 3 per cent of the transaction value. These fees compound monthly, and you cannot predict your exact INR outflow in advance. Furthermore, if you authorise a recurring payment in USD, your bank holds a certain amount in reserve each billing cycle, which can affect your available balance.
Your consumer rights in india and how ShoeDazzle fits
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 provides strong protections for e-commerce transactions, including a 7-day grievance redressal window for complaints and rights to fair refunds for defective goods. However, these protections apply most clearly when you purchase from an Indian seller or a seller operating in India with India-specific consumer-facing terms.
ShoeDazzle publishes policies for US and Canadian customers only and does not explicitly reference Indian consumer law, statutory cooling-off periods, or India-specific grievance procedures. This gap means you cannot rely solely on ShoeDazzle's published policy to resolve disputes under Indian law. Nevertheless, Yafee recognises that your bank and credit card issuer remain bound by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, which can protect you even if ShoeDazzle does not acknowledge Indian regulations.
Your legal position
You have two protection layers when you dispute a ShoeDazzle charge or cancellation issue. First, ShoeDazzle's published return and refund policy applies to your transaction. Second, your bank or credit card company in India operates under RBI guidelines and must offer you dispute resolution and, in many cases, chargeback protection. The RBI's guidelines on card-not-present (CNP) transactions and recurring payments require your card issuer to resolve disputes within a defined timeframe, often providing faster relief than contacting ShoeDazzle directly. Keep all receipts, transaction confirmations, and cancellation emails. If ShoeDazzle refuses to refund you or fails to cancel your membership, you can file a complaint with your bank and request a chargeback or dispute under your card's zero-liability policy.
What the consumer protection act, 2019 means for your cancellation
Under Section 6 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to cancel any subscription service and receive a refund if the service does not meet its stated terms. Although ShoeDazzle is a US-based company, if the service fails to deliver curated picks, charges you without authorisation, or misrepresents the membership benefits, you can file a complaint with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) or your state consumer commission. Yafee advises that you exhaust the company's own complaint process first, then escalate to your state commission if ShoeDazzle fails to respond within 30 days.
How to cancel ShoeDazzle using three methods
ShoeDazzle offers three primary ways to cancel your membership; choose the method that gives you the clearest confirmation trail and the strongest evidence if you later need to dispute a charge.
Method 1: cancel through your online account (recommended)
- Visit the ShoeDazzle website and log in with your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset it using the link sent to your email.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Membership" (usually found in the top-right menu under your profile name or in a settings gear icon).
- The exact wording varies; look for tabs labelled "My Account," "Subscriptions," or "Billing."
- Find the "Manage Membership" or "Pause/Cancel Membership" option.
- Click on it to view your current membership status and renewal date.
- Select "Cancel Membership" and review the cancellation terms.
- ShoeDazzle will often offer you a discount to keep your membership active; you do not have to accept this offer.
- Confirm your cancellation and take a screenshot of the confirmation screen immediately.
- The confirmation should display a cancellation date and order number or reference ID.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from ShoeDazzle within 24 hours.
- If you do not receive this email, log back into your account and verify that your membership status now shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
Method 2: cancel via email
- Compose a cancellation email to ShoeDazzle's customer service address (typically [email protected] or the address listed in your terms and conditions).
- Use the subject line: "Membership Cancellation Request - [Your Name] - [Your Account Email]"
- State your full name, account email address, and membership number (if you have it) in the email body.
- Write clearly: "I request the cancellation of my ShoeDazzle membership effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing."
- Send the email using a method that provides a delivery receipt or read confirmation.
- Alternatively, use your bank's online banking portal to send the email to a monitored support address if ShoeDazzle provides one.
- Wait for a cancellation confirmation email from ShoeDazzle.
- If you do not receive a reply within 5 business days, send a follow-up email and note the date and time of your first request.
- Save all cancellation emails in a dedicated folder for future reference.
- Do not delete these emails; they are evidence of your cancellation request if a dispute arises.
Method 3: cancel via your bank's payment blocking
- Log into your bank's online banking portal or mobile app.
- Search for a section labelled "Recurring Payments," "Subscriptions," or "Mandate Management."
- Locate the ShoeDazzle recurring payment or standing instruction.
- You should see the merchant name, payment amount in USD, and the frequency (monthly).
- Select "Stop Recurring Payment" or "Revoke Mandate" for the ShoeDazzle transaction.
- Your bank will process this within 1-2 business days and send you a confirmation.
- Note the date you stopped the recurring payment.
- This protects you from further charges even if ShoeDazzle does not process your cancellation request immediately.
- Contact ShoeDazzle to inform them that you have revoked the payment mandate.
- Send an email with the subject line: "Mandate Revocation Notice - ShoeDazzle Membership Cancellation."
Timeline and what to expect after you cancel
Cancellation timelines vary depending on which method you use and when your billing cycle occurs. ShoeDazzle typically processes cancellations within 3 to 5 business days, but your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 business days to stop the recurring charge.
Immediate steps after cancellation
After you cancel, take these steps immediately to protect yourself. First, do not delete any confirmation emails or screenshots from ShoeDazzle. Second, monitor your bank account and credit card statements for the next 2 billing cycles to ensure no further charges appear. Third, if ShoeDazzle charged you in advance for the next month and you cancelled before receiving that month's delivery, document this fact in an email to ShoeDazzle requesting a refund for unused service.
If charges continue after cancellation
If ShoeDazzle charges your account after you have cancelled, follow these steps without delay. First, contact ShoeDazzle immediately with your cancellation confirmation number and ask them to reverse the charge within 5 business days. Second, if ShoeDazzle does not reverse the charge within 5 business days, file a dispute with your bank or credit card issuer. Under RBI guidelines, your bank must investigate the dispute within 30 days and either reverse the charge or provide a written explanation. Third, if your bank does not resolve the dispute, file a complaint with the RBI's Banking Ombudsman (if the issuer is a bank) or the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in India.
Refunds and what you should receive
Your refund entitlement depends on whether you cancel before or after your next billing cycle and whether you have used items from your current month's selection.
| Scenario |
Refund entitlement |
Timeline |
| Cancel before billing cycle; no items sent |
Full refund of next month's charge |
5-10 business days |
| Cancel after billing cycle; items received but not used |
Refund per ShoeDazzle's return policy (typically 30 days to return for refund) |
Depends on return processing |
| Cancel after billing cycle; items returned unopened |
Full monthly charge refund |
10-15 business days after return receipt |
| Cancel after using items or after return window expires |
No refund; membership ends |
N/A |
| Charged after cancellation due to processing delay |
Full charge reversal via chargeback or bank dispute |
30-60 days (bank investigation) |
Yafee recommends that you request a refund in writing when you cancel if you believe you are entitled to one. State the reason (e.g., "I cancelled before my next billing cycle and should not be charged for the next month"). Keep all correspondence for your records.
Pricing structure and what you pay each month
ShoeDazzle offers different membership tiers; your monthly cost depends on which tier you selected when you joined.
| Membership tier |
Monthly charge (USD) |
Approximate INR (at ₹83/USD) |
What you receive |
| VIP membership |
$39.95 |
₹3,318 |
Curated picks, VIP credits, free returns |
| Waitlist (free) |
$0 |
₹0 |
Access to sales when invited |
| Pay-per-item (no membership) |
Varies |
Varies |
Purchase individual items at full price |
Note: Exchange rates fluctuate daily. Your actual INR charge will vary based on your bank's conversion rate on the day of transaction, plus any currency conversion fee your bank charges (typically 1-3 per cent). Consequently, your monthly bill in INR may range from ₹3,200 to ₹3,450 even if you maintain the same USD tier.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation can feel straightforward, but several common errors can leave you vulnerable to continued charges and difficulty recovering your money if something goes wrong. Here is how to avoid them.
Mistake 1: skipping a month instead of cancelling
ShoeDazzle allows you to "skip" the next month's delivery without cancelling your membership. If you click "Skip," your membership remains active, and you will be charged again the month after. Many users confuse skipping with cancellation and believe they have ended their membership when they have only delayed it by one month. Always select "Cancel Membership," not "Skip Month."
Mistake 2: cancelling via email without following up
Email cancellation requests can be lost or overlooked. If you cancel via email, send a follow-up email 5 business days later if you have not received a confirmation. Better yet, use the online account cancellation method, which provides an immediate on-screen confirmation. Yafee advises that you combine email with a screenshot of your account settings to create a clear record.
Mistake 3: not revoking your bank mandate
If you cancel your ShoeDazzle membership but do not revoke the recurring payment mandate at your bank, ShoeDazzle (or a successor company to which your account data is sold) could theoretically attempt to charge you again. Always revoke the mandate as Method 3 describes, regardless of which cancellation method you use.
Mistake 4: deleting confirmation emails
If a dispute arises weeks or months after you cancel, you will need proof that you cancelled on a specific date. Keep all cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your account status, and bank statements showing when the final charge was processed. Deleting these materials weakens your position if you need to file a chargeback or complaint with your bank.
Mistake 5: not monitoring your account after cancellation
Some subscriptions continue to charge users for 1-2 billing cycles after cancellation due to processing delays or system errors. Check your bank account and credit card statement 7 to 10 days after your next scheduled billing date. If a charge appears, immediately contact ShoeDazzle and your bank. The sooner you report an erroneous charge, the faster your bank can investigate and reverse it.
What to do if ShoeDazzle refuses to cancel or refund
If ShoeDazzle ignores your cancellation request or refuses to process a refund you believe you are entitled to, follow this escalation sequence without delay.
Step 1: send a formal cancellation notice
Send a certified email (or use your bank's secure messaging if available) to ShoeDazzle's customer service address with the subject line: "Final Cancellation Notice and Refund Demand - [Your Name] - Account [Your Email]." In the body, state: "I formally request cancellation of my ShoeDazzle membership effective immediately. I further request a refund of [amount] for [reason]. If this matter is not resolved within 10 business days, I will file a dispute with my bank and a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority." Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Step 2: file a dispute with your bank
Contact your bank's dispute or chargeback department and file a dispute for the charge(s) you wish to reverse. Provide the bank with all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your cancelled account status, and your formal notice to ShoeDazzle. Your bank will investigate within 30 days and either reverse the charge or explain why it cannot under RBI guidelines.
Step 3: escalate to the central consumer protection authority
If your bank does not resolve the dispute or if ShoeDazzle continues to refuse cancellation, file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) under Section 60 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The CCPA handles complaints involving unfair contracts, misleading advertising, and defective services. Yafee advises that you include copies of all correspondence with ShoeDazzle, your bank's dispute correspondence, and a clear statement of the financial loss you have incurred. The CCPA can order ShoeDazzle (or its Indian payment processor) to refund you and pay compensation for the inconvenience.
Step 4: file a complaint with the RBI's banking ombudsman
If your bank fails to resolve the dispute within 30 days or offers an unsatisfactory resolution, file a complaint with the RBI's Banking Ombudsman (if your bank is a commercial bank or cooperative bank). The Ombudsman can compel your bank to review the dispute and reverse the charge if ShoeDazzle cannot produce evidence that you authorised the charge after your cancellation date. There is no fee to file a complaint with the Ombudsman, and the process typically takes 60-90 days.
When you should cancel ShoeDazzle
You should cancel ShoeDazzle if any of the following apply to you: you no longer wear the styles ShoeDazzle sends; you have accumulated unused items you do not want to return; the monthly cost is straining your budget; you have moved and the delivery address has changed but ShoeDazzle has not updated it; or you discover that you are being charged more than the advertised rate due to currency fluctuations or hidden fees.
When you should keep your membership
You should keep your membership if you consistently use the items ShoeDazzle sends; you value the convenience of curated monthly selections; you have verified the monthly INR cost and are comfortable with it; or you plan to cancel at a specific time when your next billing cycle does not align with your needs.

What customers say about cancelling ShoeDazzle
Indian customers report mixed experiences when cancelling ShoeDazzle. Many users successfully cancel via the online account method and receive confirmation within 24 hours. However, some users report that they received charges for 1-2 months after cancellation due to processing delays between ShoeDazzle's servers and their bank's international payment gateway. A few users stated that ShoeDazzle's customer service took 7-10 days to respond to cancellation emails, causing them to pay an additional month before the cancellation took effect. Yafee has found that customers who revoke their bank mandate simultaneously with cancelling their account experience the smoothest process and the fewest erroneous charges.

If you need to contact ShoeDazzle for cancellation support or to escalate a refund dispute, use the following channels. First, visit the ShoeDazzle website and click "Contact Us" or "Help" to find the current email address and phone number. ShoeDazzle's primary support email is typically [email protected].

Third, if ShoeDazzle does not respond to your cancellation or refund request within 10 business days, escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) using the online complaint portal at consumercomplaints.in. You will need to provide your order number, account email, and copies of all correspondence with ShoeDazzle. Yafee advises that you also file a complaint with your state consumer commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 if the CCPA does not issue a resolution within 60 days.
Filing a complaint with the central consumer protection authority
Visit the CCPA complaint portal (consumercomplaints.in), register as a consumer, and file a complaint under Section 60 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Select "E-commerce and online shopping" as the category, name ShoeDazzle (or its payment processor) as the opposite party, and describe the issue (e.g., "Refused to cancel membership" or "Continued charging after cancellation"). Attach screenshots, emails, and bank statements as evidence. The CCPA will send your complaint to ShoeDazzle, which must respond within 30 days. If ShoeDazzle does not respond or offers an unsatisfactory resolution, the CCPA can order compensation and a refund.
