Frequently asked questions
Cancel Digistore24: The Right Way
How to cancel your Digistore24 subscription in new zealand
What is Digistore24 and why you might need to cancel
Digistore24 is an international payment processor and sales platform that vendors use to sell digital products, online courses, software, and subscription services to customers worldwide. When you purchase through Digistore24, the platform processes your payment, delivers order confirmation, and manages cancellations and refunds on behalf of the seller. You interact with Digistore24 primarily through order confirmation emails and your personal order overview page, accessible after you complete a purchase.
As a New Zealand consumer, you may need to cancel a Digistore24 subscription for several legitimate reasons: the recurring charges no longer suit your budget, you no longer use the product or service, you purchased by accident, or you want to exercise your statutory cooling-off right. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate digital service cancellations with confidence, and this guide will walk you through every step of cancelling a Digistore24 subscription while protecting your legal rights.
How Digistore24 works for buyers
When you purchase through Digistore24, you receive an order confirmation email containing your order number, the vendor's business name, your billing date, and often a direct link to your order overview page. This page displays your subscription status, next renewal date, and available cancellation options. The vendor sets the refund period, access terms, and renewal schedule, but Digistore24 processes the payment transaction and executes cancellation requests on their behalf. You cannot cancel directly with Digistore24 if the vendor has not activated self-service cancellation; in that case, you must contact the vendor or use your bank's chargeback process.
Who should read this guide
This guide is for New Zealand residents who have purchased a subscription, online course, software, or digital product through Digistore24 and now wish to cancel. Whether your circumstances have changed, you no longer need the service, or you want to invoke your legal cooling-off right, Yafee provides a clear step-by-step cancellation process grounded in New Zealand consumer law.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand law grants you specific protections when cancelling digital purchases, regardless of where the seller is located or whether the platform is based overseas.
The consumer guarantees act and your cancellation entitlements
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the legal right to cancel a purchase of goods or services within a reasonable timeframe if the product or service is faulty, not as described, or unfit for purpose. For distance selling-which includes all online purchases made through platforms like Digistore24-you also have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period to change your mind, provided you have not yet accessed or used the product and have not waived your right in writing before completing the purchase.
This right applies regardless of whether you bought from a New Zealand vendor or an overseas seller. The Consumer Guarantees Act is enforced by the Commerce Commission. If Digistore24 or the vendor refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission or seek free advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau.
When your cancellation rights apply and when they do not
Your statutory 14-day cooling-off right applies to most digital products and subscriptions purchased online. However, once you download or access a digital product, or once you accept the vendor's terms of service in writing, your cooling-off period may be waived. Vendors can set their own refund policies (ranging from 14 to 180 days), but they cannot remove or reduce your statutory Consumer Guarantees Act rights. If the vendor has not stated a refund period, Digistore24 will typically process refunds for up to 60 days after purchase; after 60 days, you must dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider through the chargeback process.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel any Digistore24 subscription within 14 days of purchase without providing a reason (cooling-off period). Beyond 14 days, you can still cancel if the service is faulty or not as described. Digistore24 cannot refuse cancellation if you are within the statutory period or if the vendor's own terms permit refunds. If the vendor or platform breaches these rights, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or dispute the charge through your bank.
Methods to cancel your Digistore24 subscription
Digistore24 offers several cancellation routes depending on how you purchased and your account type.
Cancellation for private consumers via the order overview page
Most New Zealand consumers can cancel directly through their Digistore24 order overview or via a cancellation link in their confirmation email.
- Locate your original order confirmation email from Digistore24 (check your inbox, spam, and promotions folders).
- The email will contain your order number, the vendor's name, your subscription status, and your next billing date.
- Look for a "Cancel subscription," "Manage order," or "Manage subscription" link in the confirmation email.
- Click this link; it will take you directly to your order overview page on Digistore24's website.
- Log in to your Digistore24 account if prompted (use the email address associated with your purchase).
- If you do not have a password, request a password reset via the login page.
- Locate your active subscription in your order history.
- The status should show "Active" or "Recurring" with a visible next billing date.
- Select the "Cancel" or "Cancel subscription" button next to the relevant order.
- Digistore24 may ask you to confirm your cancellation reason (optional) or offer a retention discount.
- Review the cancellation summary, which will show your final access date and any refund eligibility.
- Confirm the cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription."
Cancellation by requesting a refund directly
If you cannot access the cancellation link or prefer to request a formal refund, contact Digistore24 through their support system.
- Visit the Digistore24 website and navigate to their contact or support page.
- Look for a "Contact us," "Support," or "Help" link in the footer or main navigation.
- Select the option to submit a refund request or contact vendor support.
- Provide your order number, the email address linked to your account, and the reason for the refund request.
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your subscription and request a refund within the vendor's refund period or your statutory 14-day cooling-off right.
- Include the date of purchase and the amount charged.
- Submit your request and note the support ticket number provided.
- Digistore24 typically responds within 3 to 5 business days.
Cancellation via your bank or credit card provider
If self-service cancellation is unavailable or Digistore24 does not respond within 5 business days, you can dispute the transaction with your bank.
- Contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback or payment dispute.
- Provide your transaction date, the amount charged, and the merchant name (Digistore24 or the vendor name).
- Explain that you wish to cancel the subscription and that the vendor or platform has not processed your cancellation request.
- Mention that the charge is recurring and unauthorised if you have already cancelled through Digistore24 and are still being charged.
- Your bank will contact Digistore24 to verify the dispute.
- The process typically takes 7 to 30 days, depending on your bank and payment method.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Refund eligibility and timing depend on the vendor's refund policy and how long you have had the product.
Refund timelines and conditions
If you cancel within your vendor's stated refund period (typically 14 to 60 days), Digistore24 will process a refund to your original payment method. Refunds usually appear in your account within 5 to 10 business days, though some banks may take longer to credit your account. If you cancel after the refund period has expired, Digistore24 may refuse a refund unless the product is faulty or not as described. In that case, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission or dispute the charge with your bank.
Stopping future charges
Cancelling your subscription immediately stops future recurring charges. Your access to the product or service will end on the date specified in your cancellation confirmation email. If you are charged again after cancelling, contact Digistore24 immediately to report the unauthorised transaction and request a full refund. You can also dispute the subsequent charge with your bank using the chargeback process.
| Refund scenario | Your entitlement | Action required |
|---|---|---|
| Cancelled within vendor refund period | Full refund | Submit cancellation via self-service or refund request form |
| Cancelled within 14-day cooling-off period | Full refund (statutory right) | Submit cancellation request; cite Consumer Guarantees Act if disputed |
| Cancelled after refund period; service faulty | Refund or replacement | Contact vendor; escalate to Commerce Commission if refused |
| Cancelled after refund period; service not faulty | No refund (unless vendor agrees) | Contact vendor to request discretionary refund; dispute via bank if charged in error |
| Charged after cancellation | Full refund of unauthorised charge | Contact Digistore24 immediately; dispute with bank if not resolved within 5 days |

| Product type | Typical price range | Billing model | Cancellation difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online courses | NZD $49-$500 | One-time or monthly recurring | Easy (self-service) |

| Affiliate or reseller programs | Free or NZD $50-$500 setup | One-time or recurring fees | Varies; contact vendor support |
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most New Zealand consumers cancel successfully on their first attempt, but a few missteps can delay the process or result in missed refunds.
Mistake 1: not checking the vendor's refund period before acting
Your right to a refund depends on both the vendor's stated policy and your statutory 14-day cooling-off period. If you delay cancellation beyond the refund window, you may lose your refund eligibility. Always check your confirmation email for the refund deadline and act within that timeframe if you want your money back.
Mistake 2: cancelling without saving your confirmation email
Your order confirmation email is proof of purchase and contains the direct cancellation link. If you delete this email without saving the link or order number, you will need to contact Digistore24 support to retrieve your order details. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot or forwarding the confirmation email to yourself or a secure folder as soon as you purchase.
Mistake 3: assuming the subscription has been cancelled after one request
Always check your order status on Digistore24 or wait for a cancellation confirmation email before considering the subscription cancelled. If you do not receive a confirmation within 2 business days, log back into your account to verify the cancellation has been processed. If the status still shows "Active," submit a second cancellation request or contact support.
Mistake 4: not keeping records of your cancellation confirmation
Save or screenshot your cancellation confirmation email and the final access date. If you are charged again after cancellation, you will need this proof to dispute the charge with your bank or escalate the complaint to the Commerce Commission.
After your cancellation is confirmed
Once your Digistore24 subscription has been cancelled, your access will end on the specified date and no further charges will be applied to your payment method.
What happens to your access and data
Your access to the digital product or service will terminate on the date shown in your cancellation confirmation email. You will lose the ability to log in, download resources, or access any premium content. Some vendors offer a grace period (typically 24 hours) to download your materials before access is fully revoked. If the vendor offers this option, you will see it in the cancellation confirmation. After the access date passes, you cannot retrieve the product unless you purchase again.
Checking for refund status
Refunds to credit cards or debit cards typically appear within 5 to 10 business days, though your bank may take an additional 2 to 5 business days to process the credit. If you paid via bank transfer or PayPal, refunds may take longer. Log into your payment provider's portal (your bank or PayPal account) to monitor refund status. If no refund appears within 15 business days, contact Digistore24 support with your order number and cancellation date.
Disputing a charge if the refund does not arrive
If the refund has not been credited 15 business days after cancellation, or if you are charged again after your subscription has been cancelled, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction. Provide your bank with the cancellation confirmation email as proof. Your bank will investigate and either recover the funds or credit your account during the chargeback process.
What to do if Digistore24 refuses your cancellation
In rare cases, a vendor or platform may refuse to cancel your subscription or process a refund.
Step 1: request written confirmation of the refusal
Email Digistore24 support requesting a written explanation of why your cancellation or refund has been refused. Keep a copy of this email and their response; you will need it if you escalate the complaint.
Step 2: file a complaint with the commerce commission
If Digistore24 refuses to honour your cancellation right or refund within the statutory period, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission. The Commission enforces the Consumer Guarantees Act and can investigate whether the vendor has breached your rights. Visit the Commerce Commission website (www.comcom.govt.nz) to submit your complaint. Provide your order number, purchase date, cancellation request date, and written communication with Digistore24. The Commission will contact the vendor and attempt to resolve the dispute.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
If the Commerce Commission investigation takes too long or yields no result, you can dispute the original charge with your bank as an unauthorised transaction. Your bank has the power to reverse the payment and credit your account, even if Digistore24 contests the dispute. This process typically takes 7 to 30 days.

Use this checklist to ensure you have completed every step and protected your rights.
