How to cancel Dsers and protect your dropshipping business
What is Dsers and why merchants use it
Dsers is a dropshipping management app that bridges your Shopify store (or other sales channels) with international suppliers on AliExpress, Temu, 1688 and verified agents. You use Dsers to import products in bulk, automate order fulfilment, synchronise tracking data across your stores and manage multiple supplier relationships from one dashboard.
Many New Zealand e-commerce merchants rely on Dsers to scale their dropshipping operations without manual order entry or tracking updates. However, if your business model is shifting, supplier relationships are changing or costs are mounting, cancelling your Dsers subscription is straightforward-provided you know which billing method you're using. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers understand their cancellation rights and take control of their subscriptions, and this guide applies the same rigorous approach to Dsers.
How Dsers charges you
Dsers offers both free and paid plans billed in USD only. Your subscription may be billed in one of two ways: directly through your Dsers account or via Shopify (including the Shopify App Store). This distinction matters significantly for cancellation, as each billing route requires a different cancellation process. Understanding which method you're using will determine where you cancel and how quickly the billing stops.
Key features across Dsers plans
The Basic free plan includes bulk ordering to AliExpress, Temu, agents and 1688; TikTok and AliExpress trending research; product similarity search; management of up to 3 stores and 3,000 products; automatic tracking synchronisation and a free Chrome extension. Paid plans unlock additional store slots, higher product limits, advanced analytics and priority support. If you're using only the free tier, you have no billing to cancel-simply stop using the service.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Dsers
As a New Zealand consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, which requires that paid digital services meet standards of acceptable quality and fitness for purpose. If Dsers fails to deliver the promised functionality or you discover the service does not suit your business needs within a reasonable timeframe, you may have grounds to request a refund, especially if the company cannot demonstrate the service was usable or fit for purpose.
When the consumer guarantees act protects you
The Consumer Guarantees Act applies to Dsers subscriptions because they are supplied to you in New Zealand. If Dsers is substantially unfit for purpose-for example, the app crashes repeatedly, features stop working or the service becomes unavailable-within the first 12 months, you can pursue remedies including refunds, repairs or replacement, even if Dsers' terms state subscriptions are non-refundable.
Additionally, if Dsers charges you after you have cancelled or fails to stop auto-renewal as promised, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider and escalate the matter to Dsers' support team with reference to your consumer protection rights.
Your legal position when disputing charges
If Dsers continues to bill you after cancellation, you hold a strong legal position under New Zealand consumer law. You can request a chargeback through your bank (typically within 120 days of the unwanted charge) and simultaneously lodge a complaint with Consumer NZ (consumernz.org.nz). The onus is on Dsers to prove they received a valid cancellation request; a screenshot or email confirmation of your cancellation date strengthens your case significantly. Yafee recommends keeping all cancellation evidence for at least 12 months.
Who to contact if Dsers refuses a refund
If Dsers declines your refund request and you believe the service breached consumer guarantees, contact Consumer NZ (consumernz.org.nz) or file a dispute with your bank or credit card provider. Yafee recognizes that many New Zealand subscription services use unclear cancellation processes deliberately, and Consumer NZ exists to hold them accountable. You can also escalate to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) if the dispute involves misleading terms or conduct.
How to cancel Dsers billed directly to your account
If your Dsers subscription is billed directly through your Dsers account (not via Shopify), follow these steps to downgrade and cancel auto-renewal.
Step 1: log into your Dsers account
- Open your web browser and go to the Dsers website (dsers.com).
- Log into your account using your email and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page.
- Check your email inbox (including spam folder) for the password reset link.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings
- Click your profile icon or avatar in the top-right corner of the dashboard.
- Select "Account Settings", "Subscription" or "Billing" from the dropdown menu.
- Some versions of Dsers group these options under "My Account".
- If you cannot locate the menu, try clicking the three horizontal lines (hamburger icon) on the left sidebar.
Step 3: locate your subscription plan
- Look for a section labelled "Subscription", "Billing Information" or "Active Plans".
- You will see your current plan name, next renewal date and the amount you are charged.
- Make a note of your renewal date before proceeding.
- If you do not see a plan listed, you may already be on the free tier and have no active subscription to cancel.
Step 4: downgrade or cancel your subscription
- Click the "Downgrade", "Cancel Plan" or "Manage Subscription" button next to your active plan.
- Dsers will display a confirmation screen asking you to confirm the cancellation.
- Dsers may offer you a discount to retain your subscription; you can decline this offer.
- Do not proceed if you see unexpected charges or hidden terms.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, Cancel" to finalize the cancellation.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and an email to your registered address.
Step 5: verify your cancellation
- Return to your Account Settings and confirm that your plan now shows "Cancelled" or "Free Plan".
- Retain the confirmation email from Dsers as proof of cancellation.
- Store this email for at least 12 months in case a dispute arises.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within 15 minutes, contact Dsers support immediately.
How to cancel Dsers billed through shopify
If your Dsers subscription is billed via Shopify (through the Shopify App Store), you must cancel from your Shopify admin panel, not from Dsers directly. Cancelling through Shopify ensures the billing stops immediately and Shopify processes any refunds according to its policy.
Step 1: log into your shopify admin
- Go to your Shopify store admin (myshopify.com or your custom admin URL).
- Enter your store credentials and log in.
- If you use two-factor authentication, complete that step now.
Step 2: navigate to your apps
- In the left sidebar, click "Apps and Sales Channels" or "Apps".
- Locate "Dsers" in your list of installed apps.
- Click on Dsers to open its app details page.
Step 3: cancel the app subscription
- Look for a "Plan" section or "Subscription" area on the Dsers app page.
- Click "Change Plan" or "Cancel App" (the exact wording varies by Shopify version).
- Select "Cancel App" from the dropdown or dialog that appears.
- Shopify will ask you to confirm; click "Yes, Cancel App".
Step 4: verify the cancellation in shopify
- Return to your Apps list; Dsers should no longer appear or should show as "inactive".
- Shopify sends a confirmation email to your store email address.
- If Shopify charged you for a partial month, it will issue a prorated refund (usually within 5-10 business days).

What happens after you cancel Dsers
Cancelling your Dsers subscription does not delete your account or historical data immediately. Understanding what occurs post-cancellation helps you avoid disruption to your store.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you confirm cancellation, Dsers stops charging you at the next billing cycle. If you cancelled mid-cycle and Shopify billed you, you receive a prorated refund. Your Dsers dashboard remains accessible for a grace period (typically 7-30 days), allowing you to export your order history, product lists and supplier notes.
Data retention and account deletion
After the grace period expires, Dsers may disable your dashboard access or remove your data according to their retention policy. If you need to preserve supplier information, product mappings or order histories, export them before the grace period ends. Yafee recommends downloading a CSV of your product list and supplier contacts immediately after cancellation.
Re-enabling your Dsers account
If you cancel and later decide to reactivate Dsers, you can resubscribe to the same or a different plan at any time. Your account history may be recoverable, but Dsers does not guarantee data restoration after a long period of inactivity. Contact Dsers support ([email protected]) if you need to recover deleted data.
How to request a refund from Dsers
Refunds from Dsers depend on when you cancel and which billing method you used. New Zealand consumer law gives you specific rights, which Yafee applies here to strengthen your negotiating position.
Refunds for shopify-billed subscriptions
If your Dsers subscription was billed through Shopify, you are entitled to a prorated refund for the unused portion of your current billing cycle. Shopify automatically processes this refund to your original payment method within 5-10 business days. You do not need to contact Dsers; Shopify handles the refund directly. Check your bank account or payment provider (PayPal, Stripe, etc.) for the credit.
Refunds for directly billed subscriptions
If your Dsers subscription was billed directly to your account (via card, PayPal or bank transfer), you must request a refund from Dsers support. Email [email protected] with your account email, the date of your cancellation request and a brief reason (for example, "Service does not meet my business needs" or "Duplicate charges occurred"). Dsers typically responds within 3-5 business days.
Escalating a refund dispute
If Dsers denies your refund and you believe the service was unfit for purpose under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have two escalation routes:
- Contact your bank or payment provider to initiate a chargeback (dispute). Provide them with your cancellation confirmation and a summary of why the service failed to meet consumer guarantees.
- Lodge a formal complaint with Consumer NZ (consumernz.org.nz). Consumer NZ can investigate unfair contract terms and billing practices.
Yafee emphasizes that you should escalate within 120 days of the charge you wish to dispute; beyond this window, chargebacks become harder to pursue.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Dsers
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, and these missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Stay alert and follow these safeguards.
Forgetting which billing method you used
Many merchants operate multiple Shopify stores or switch between direct billing and Shopify billing over time. Cancelling through the wrong portal (for example, trying to cancel via your Dsers account when you actually subscribed through Shopify) leaves your subscription active and the billing intact. Always verify your billing method in your Dsers Account Settings or Shopify admin before you cancel.
Cancelling but not confirming
Dsers requires you to click a final confirmation button; many merchants mistake the "Request Cancellation" button for the actual cancellation step. Always verify that Dsers displays a "Cancelled" status in your Account Settings and check for a confirmation email within 15 minutes. If you see no confirmation, your cancellation may not have been processed.
Failing to export your data
Once Dsers deletes your account (typically 7-30 days post-cancellation), your product list, supplier contacts and order history are gone. If you rely on this information for your supplier relationships or inventory management, you lose critical business data. Download your product CSV, supplier notes and order reports before the grace period expires.
Not keeping cancellation proof
If Dsers charges you after cancellation (a rare but documented issue), you need proof of your cancellation request to dispute the charge with your bank or to escalate to Consumer NZ. Save your confirmation email, take screenshots of your dashboard showing "Cancelled" status and note the exact date and time you clicked "Confirm Cancellation". Yafee has supported numerous New Zealand merchants who recovered wrongful charges because they retained this evidence.
After you cancel Dsers: your next steps
Cancelling is only half the process; ensuring your store continues to operate smoothly is the other half. Take these precautions to safeguard your business.
Verify no further charges occur
Check your bank account or Shopify transactions one week after cancellation to confirm Dsers has stopped billing. If you see a charge after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it. Keep your cancellation confirmation email handy during this verification period.
Transition your supplier relationships
If you are switching to a different dropshipping management tool (for example, Oberlo, Printful or direct supplier connections), export your Dsers product list and supplier details before they are deleted. Many competitors offer import tools that accept CSV files from Dsers, making the transition seamless. Plan this transition before you cancel to minimize downtime.
Notify your shopify store if necessary
If Dsers handled automatic order routing or tracking updates in your Shopify store, confirm that orders still route correctly after you cancel. Test a sample order and verify that tracking information still syncs. If you have multiple integration apps, ensure they communicate properly after Dsers is no longer active.
Before you cancel Dsers, consider whether an alternative tool might better suit your needs. Below is a comparison of popular dropshipping management apps available in New Zealand.

If you are cancelling Dsers because of cost, Oberlo or direct supplier relationships may offer lower fees. If automation or multi-channel support is the issue, Spocket or a bespoke integration might address your concerns. Yafee recommends trialling an alternative tool on your free tier before cancelling Dsers, to ensure continuity for your store.
Your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure you cancel Dsers correctly and protect your business.
- Verify your current billing method (direct to Dsers account or via Shopify).
- Log into your account and note your next renewal date.
- Export your product list, supplier contacts and order history as a CSV file.
- Cancel through the correct portal (Dsers account settings or Shopify admin).
- Confirm cancellation on the dashboard and save the confirmation email.
- Check for a confirmation email within 15 minutes; contact support if none arrives.
- Verify no charges appear one week after the cancellation date.
- If using a new tool, import your Dsers data into the replacement service.
- Test your Shopify store to ensure orders still route and track correctly.
- Keep all cancellation evidence for 12 months in case a dispute arises.
If you encounter technical issues during cancellation or need to discuss your subscription, Dsers provides support through multiple channels.
Email: [email protected]
Live chat: Available on the Dsers website (dsers.com) during business hours (generally 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. UTC).
Mailing address (Hong Kong office): Dsers does not publish a New Zealand mailing address. If you require formal written correspondence, contact [email protected] to request a New Zealand address or escalation contact. Yafee recommends sending written requests via email with read receipts enabled, to create a timestamped record of your request.
Response time: Dsers typically responds to support inquiries within 24-72 business hours. If your issue is urgent (for example, unauthorized charges), contact your bank immediately rather than wait for Dsers support.
Consumer protection summary
Your rights as a New Zealand consumer are protected by law, regardless of Dsers' terms and conditions. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 ensures that digital services supplied to you must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. If Dsers fails these standards or continues to bill you after cancellation, you have the right to dispute the charge, request a refund and escalate to Consumer NZ or the Financial Markets Authority. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers cancel subscriptions successfully by standing firm on their legal rights and keeping clear evidence of every step. Document your cancellation, verify the billing has stopped and escalate promptly if issues arise.
