Frequently asked questions
Cancel Digital River: The Right Way
How to cancel Digital River and stop unwanted charges in new zealand
What is Digital River and why new zealand consumers need to cancel
Digital River operates as a global merchant of record, meaning it processes payments, manages billing, handles tax compliance and oversees order fulfilment on behalf of thousands of online retailers worldwide. When you purchase from an online store, Digital River may appear as the billing entity on your bank statement or credit card receipt, even though you bought from a completely different brand or retailer.
The platform also runs customer portals such as findmyorder.com, where you can view and manage your orders and active subscriptions. If you enrolled in an automatic renewal service, accepted a free trial that converted to a paid subscription, or agreed to a recurring billing arrangement, you will need to cancel through Digital River's systems or by contacting the underlying merchant directly.
Yafee has assisted thousands of New Zealand consumers in understanding how to cancel with global payment processors like Digital River, helping you avoid unwanted charges and claim refunds if you are entitled to them under New Zealand consumer legislation.
How Digital River appears on your statements and receipts
You may spot Digital River in three distinct locations: your bank or credit card statement as the merchant name, your purchase receipt or checkout page as the payment processor, and your email confirmation as the billing entity. This layering creates genuine confusion about which company actually supplies your product or service, which is why many New Zealand consumers turn to Yafee seeking clarity on where and how to cancel.
Common reasons to cancel Digital River billing
You might need to cancel if a free trial automatically renewed without your explicit consent, you no longer use the subscription service, you were charged without authorising a recurring payment, or you want to switch to a different payment method or supplier. Yafee recommends acting quickly to stop future charges and gathering written evidence for any refund claim you intend to pursue.
Your consumer rights when dealing with Digital River
New Zealand law gives you robust protections when you cancel a subscription or dispute unwanted charges, and understanding these rights puts you in a strong position when negotiating with Digital River or the merchant behind your purchase.
Consumer guarantees act protections
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, every good or service you purchase must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and supplied with reasonable care and skill. If you cancel a subscription because the service fails to meet these standards, you have the legal right to a full refund, repair or replacement. This law applies to all purchases made by New Zealand consumers, regardless of whether the seller or payment processor is based overseas.
Your legal position: If Digital River or the merchant refuses to refund you for a faulty or misrepresented service, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission or apply to your local disputes tribunal. Yafee advises documenting all communication in writing (email is best) so you hold proof of your complaint and the company's response.
Fair trading act and unfair contract terms
The Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct in trade. If you were not clearly informed about automatic renewal terms, trial periods that convert to paid subscriptions, or recurring charges before you agreed to them, Digital River or the merchant may have breached this Act. You can use this breach as grounds for a full refund, and you may be entitled to compensation for any financial loss you suffered as a result.
Furthermore, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (which applies when you purchase as a consumer rather than a business) protects you against unfair contract terms. If Digital River's terms and conditions contain unreasonably restrictive cancellation clauses, those terms may not be enforceable against you.
How to cancel Digital River: four practical methods
You have four main pathways to stop Digital River from charging you, and Yafee recommends choosing the fastest method that provides the clearest confirmation trail for your records.
Method one: cancel through Digital river's customer portal (findmyorder.com)
This is the fastest and most direct method if you have online access to your account.
- Visit findmyorder.com and log in using your email address and password
- Locate your active subscription or recurring billing arrangement
- Select "Cancel subscription" or "Manage billing"
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm the cancellation
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing the date and time of cancellation
- Check your email within 2-5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation from Digital River
- Forward this confirmation email to your own records folder as proof
Method two: contact the underlying merchant or retailer
If you purchased through a third-party retailer rather than directly, cancelling with that retailer may be faster and clearer.
- Locate the original retailer's website or customer support contact details
- Send an email requesting cancellation of your subscription or recurring billing
- Include your order number, email address, and the date you want the cancellation to take effect
- Request written confirmation of cancellation by email
- Retain this confirmation and any follow-up messages in your records
Method three: send a written cancellation notice to Digital River
If online cancellation fails or you need a formal paper trail, send written notice to Digital River's registered address.
- Write a brief, clear letter or email stating:
- Your full name and email address associated with the account
- Your order number or subscription reference number
- The date you want the cancellation to take effect
- A clear statement: "I wish to cancel my subscription and all recurring billing effective immediately"
- Your preferred method of confirmation (email)
- If sending by post, address it to Digital River's headquarters (see contact details at end of this guide)
- If sending by email, use registered email or send from a monitored account so you receive a delivery receipt
- Keep a copy of the letter or email for your records
- Follow up with a phone call 5-7 business days later if you do not receive written confirmation
Method four: request a chargeback through your bank
If Digital River continues to charge you after cancellation, or if the company fails to respond to your cancellation request within 14 days, you can dispute the charge directly with your bank.
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer by phone or online
- Request a "chargeback" or "dispute" on the Digital River transaction(s)
- Provide your bank with:
- The transaction date and amount
- Screenshots of your cancellation request
- Copies of any email confirmation or attempted cancellations
- Written evidence that you requested cancellation in writing
- Your bank will formally dispute the charge with Digital River within 10-30 business days
- You will receive a refund if your bank upholds the dispute
Understanding Digital river's refund policy and timeline
Digital River's refund policy varies depending on the underlying merchant and the nature of the subscription, but New Zealand consumer law sets a baseline that applies regardless of what Digital River's terms state.
When you are entitled to a refund
You have the right to a refund if you cancel within the statutory cooling-off period (14 calendar days from the date of purchase for online transactions), if the service does not meet the Consumer Guarantees Act standards, or if Digital River charged you without your consent. The Fair Trading Act also entitles you to a refund if you were misled about automatic renewal or trial-to-paid conversion terms.
How long refunds take
Once you cancel, Digital River must process your refund within 30 days. In practice, the refund appears in your bank account 5-10 business days after Digital River processes it. If you initiated a chargeback through your bank, the timeframe extends to 30-45 business days while your bank and Digital River resolve the dispute.
What happens if Digital River refuses to refund
If Digital River denies your refund claim or does not respond within 20 business days of your cancellation request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission, which enforces consumer protection laws in New Zealand. Yafee advises filing a complaint with the Commerce Commission if Digital River's response fails to satisfy you, particularly if you believe the company breached the Fair Trading Act or Consumer Guarantees Act.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward if you know where to look and what to expect, so here are the pitfalls that catch many New Zealand consumers off guard.
Mistake one: assuming the portal login details are your retail account password
Digital River's findmyorder.com portal uses different login credentials than the original retailer's website. If you created your account through a third-party seller, your login details are separate. Reset your password on findmyorder.com before attempting to log in.
Mistake two: cancelling too close to a billing cycle
If you cancel on the day your subscription is due to renew, Digital River may still charge you because the renewal processes overnight. Cancel at least 3-5 business days before your next billing date to ensure the cancellation takes effect before the charge. Check your confirmation email for the exact renewal date.
Mistake three: forgetting to cancel the trial separately from the subscription
Some Digital River subscriptions require you to cancel both the trial period and the ongoing subscription separately. If you only cancel the trial, the underlying subscription may still renew. Check your account for any active services and cancel each one individually.
Mistake four: not following up if you receive no confirmation
Digital River's confirmation emails sometimes arrive 24-48 hours after cancellation, or they may land in your spam folder. If you do not see confirmation within 5 business days, send a follow-up email to Digital River's support address and reference your original cancellation request. Do not assume silence means the cancellation went through.
Mistake five: losing track of cancellation evidence
Screenshots and emails expire or become hard to find after a few months. Save all cancellation confirmations in a dedicated folder or email folder immediately after you receive them, so you have proof if a dispute arises later.
What to do after you cancel Digital River
Once your cancellation is confirmed, a few simple steps will protect you from surprise charges and help you resolve any remaining issues quickly.
Monitor your bank statement
Check your bank or credit card statement 5-10 days after your cancellation takes effect. If Digital River or the retailer charges you again, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation. Your bank can reverse the charge within 30 days if you report it promptly.
Request written confirmation of the refund
If Digital River owes you a refund for early cancellation within a cooling-off period, follow up with a written request asking for the refund amount, the refund date, and the account it will be paid to. Yafee recommends keeping this request in your records so you can prove to your bank exactly what you are owed if a dispute arises.
File a complaint with the commerce commission if necessary
If Digital River continues to charge you after cancellation, denies a refund you are entitled to under New Zealand law, or fails to respond to your cancellation request within 20 business days, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission. The Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act, and it has the power to order refunds and penalties.
Key steps to take before you cancel
Preparation streamlines the cancellation process and gives you a clear record for any future disputes.
| Step | Action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Locate your account | Find your order number or subscription reference in your email receipt or account dashboard | You will need this to prove which subscription you are cancelling |
| 2. Check your billing date | Note the day your subscription renews each month | Cancel 3-5 days before renewal to avoid a final charge |
| 3. Screenshot your account | Take a photo of your current subscription status and active services | Provides proof if Digital River disputes whether you had an active subscription |
| 4. Review the terms | Skim the subscription agreement for any early termination fees or cooling-off period details | Identifies any fees you may face and whether you are within a refund window |
| 5. Gather refund evidence | Collect your original receipt, order confirmation, and any marketing materials about free trials | Proves you qualify for a refund if the company misled you about terms |
| 6. Open a dedicated email folder | Create a folder called "Digital River Cancellation" to store all confirmation emails | Centralises proof in case you need to escalate to your bank or the Commerce Commission |
Digital River contact details and cancellation address
Digital River does not operate a dedicated New Zealand office or postal address, so written cancellation requests should be sent to its U.S. headquarters. Consequently, email remains the fastest and most reliable cancellation method for New Zealand consumers.
Primary cancellation channels
Digital River's customer portal at findmyorder.com is your fastest cancellation route. If you are unable to access the portal or need to send written notice, you can contact Digital River through its U.S. headquarters:
Digital River (US Headquarters)
13300 Ballantyne Corporate Place
Charlotte, NC 28277
United States
For email cancellations, locate the retailer-specific support address on your receipt or invoice, as Digital River routes customer requests through its merchant partners. If no retailer address is listed, contact Digital River's general support through findmyorder.com.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Digital River fails to respond to your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, escalate your complaint to:
Commerce Commission New Zealand
Phone: 0800 943 600
Website: www.comcom.govt.nz
Online complaint form: Available on the Commission's website
The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, and it can order Digital River to issue refunds and pay compensation.
