How to cancel Webflow in new zealand and protect your data
What Webflow is and why you might want to leave
Webflow is a visual website builder and hosting platform that lets you design, publish, and manage websites without writing code. It combines a drag-and-drop interface, content management tools, and hosting infrastructure into one workspace.
You can purchase Webflow subscriptions directly from their website or through third-party app stores, including Apple App Store and Google Play. Whether you've outgrown the platform, found a competitor that suits your needs better, or simply no longer require a website, understanding how to cancel properly protects your financial position and ensures your data remains secure.
How Webflow subscriptions work
Webflow operates two primary subscription models. Site plans host individual websites and include storage, bandwidth, and hosting features. Workspace plans manage your entire account, team access, and billing across multiple sites. You can also purchase add-ons such as additional team seats or marketplace items.
Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel beforehand. The advantage: Webflow allows you to cancel anytime, and your access continues until the end of your paid period. The challenge lies in identifying the correct cancellation method and understanding what happens to your site content after cancellation.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Webflow in new zealand
New Zealand consumer law provides specific protections when you purchase digital services, including website hosting and design platforms.
The consumer guarantees act 1993 and your protection
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have statutory rights if Webflow fails to deliver the service as promised. These protections cover situations where the platform is unavailable, you are charged twice, or advertised features do not function as described.
Your legal position: If Webflow breaches its service obligations, you can claim a remedy through the Commerce Commission or pursue civil action. However, standard cancellations initiated by you fall outside these protections. Webflow's terms explicitly exclude refunds for subscriptions cancelled for personal preference.
If the service fails to meet legal standards, you retain the right to escalate to the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority. Consequently, you should document any service failures before cancelling, as evidence strengthens any complaint.
The 14-day cooling-off period (EU residents only)
Residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Turkey benefit from a statutory 14-day cooling-off period. This right permits you to cancel Webflow's initial purchase for a full refund without penalty, provided you have not downloaded or used marketplace items.
New Zealand residents do not have access to this cooling-off period. Consequently, your cancellation options depend on Webflow's refund policy or remedies available under New Zealand consumer law.
How to cancel Webflow: three methods explained
Webflow offers multiple cancellation pathways depending on where and how you purchased your subscription.
Method 1: cancel a site plan directly through webflow's website
This method applies if you subscribed directly via Webflow.com. Follow these steps to halt auto-renewal while maintaining access until your billing period ends.
- Open your web browser and navigate to webflow.com
- Use a desktop or laptop for best navigation experience
- Sign in using your registered email address and password
- Select the workspace or site you wish to cancel
- Workspace-level cancellations manage your entire account
- Site-level cancellations apply only to individual websites
- Navigate to Settings, then locate the Billing or Plans section
- For site plans: find the specific site card and select Settings
- For workspace plans: access Account Settings in the top-right menu
- Identify the active plan and click the Cancel or Downgrade option
- Review the cancellation summary, including your final access date
- Confirm your choice by selecting the final confirmation button
Your plan remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. This grace period allows you to export your site code, download backups, or migrate content to another platform.
Method 2: cancel subscriptions purchased through apple app store
If you subscribed to Webflow via your Apple ID on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system. Apple processes billing for app-based purchases, not Webflow directly.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app
- Tap your name at the very top of the screen
- Select Subscription
- On Mac, open System Preferences, then Apple ID, then Subscriptions
- Locate Webflow in your active subscriptions list
- Tap Webflow and select Cancel Subscription
- Confirm your cancellation by tapping the red confirmation button
Apple will send you a confirmation email. Your access continues until the expiration date shown in the confirmation. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of this expiration date for your records.
Method 3: cancel subscriptions purchased through google play
If you subscribed to Webflow via Google Play Store on an Android device, Google manages your billing. You cancel through Google Play, not through Webflow's platform.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select Manage subscriptions or Subscriptions (depending on your Android version)
- Find Webflow in your active subscriptions
- Tap Webflow and select Cancel subscription
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation
Google will send a confirmation email to your registered Google account. Your subscription remains active until the renewal date specified in the confirmation.
What happens to your data and content after cancellation
Understanding your data status post-cancellation prevents unexpected loss of files and design work.
Site access and content preservation
When you cancel a Webflow site plan, your website remains live until the end of your billing period. After that date, Webflow removes the site from their servers. Your published domain will no longer resolve, and visitors will see an error page.
Nevertheless, you retain ownership of your site design and content. Before cancellation takes effect, you must export your site. Webflow allows you to download your site code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript format. This export preserves your design and enables you to host the site on a third-party server or another platform.
You should also extract any dynamic content, such as CMS entries, forms, or user-generated data. Webflow provides export tools for this purpose, though the exact method depends on your site structure.
Workspace data and team access
If you cancel a workspace plan, all team members lose access simultaneously. Active projects cease to function, and hosting for all sites under that workspace terminates at the end of the billing period.
Consequently, you must coordinate with team members and export all essential projects before the cancellation date arrives. Yafee recommends documenting your site backups in a secure location separate from Webflow's servers.
Refunds, credits, and financial recovery
Refund eligibility depends on whether you cancel within Webflow's stipulated timeframe and the specific circumstances of your subscription.
Standard refund policy
Webflow does not offer refunds for subscriptions cancelled for personal choice. Once your cancellation takes effect, you forfeit any remaining balance in your billing period. Webflow explicitly states that subscription fees are non-refundable in their Terms of Service.
However, if Webflow overcharged you, billed you twice, or failed to provide the service as described, you may qualify for a partial or full refund. In this scenario, contact Webflow's support team with evidence of the billing error. If Webflow refuses, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission.
Unused credits and promotional codes
If you have promotional credits applied to your account, cancellation does not automatically restore these credits to your payment method. Unused credits expire on your account termination date.
Before cancelling, attempt to use any remaining credits to extend your subscription or purchase add-ons. If you cannot use them, contact Webflow support and request a credit reversal. Some support agents may process this request as a courtesy, though Webflow has no contractual obligation to do so.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Webflow
Cancellation appears straightforward, yet small errors can lock you out of your account or prevent data recovery.
Mistake 1: cancelling without exporting your site code
The most costly error is cancelling without backing up your site. Once your billing period ends, Webflow removes your site from their servers permanently. You cannot recover the site design or content after this point.
Before confirming cancellation, navigate to your site settings and select Export. Download your site code in a compressed format and store it on your local machine or cloud storage service such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, cancelling through Webflow's website will not stop Apple from charging you. Similarly, if you purchased directly from Webflow, cancelling through Google Play will not affect your Webflow subscription.
Verify where you purchased your subscription by checking your email receipts. Match the receipt sender to the correct cancellation method.
Mistake 3: confusing site cancellation with workspace cancellation
Webflow allows you to cancel individual sites without cancelling your workspace. Conversely, cancelling your workspace terminates all sites simultaneously.
If you intend to keep some sites live while cancelling others, navigate to the specific site settings before selecting cancel. Yafee recommends confirming which sites will be affected before completing the cancellation process.
Mistake 4: not checking the expiration date
Your access does not terminate immediately upon cancellation. Webflow extends access until the end of your paid billing cycle. If you cancel mid-month, you retain access for the remainder of that month.
Verify your expiration date in the cancellation confirmation email. Mark this date in your calendar as a reminder to export your site and migrate your domain to another host.

Webflow support channels
Webflow does not maintain a physical office in New Zealand. Their primary corporate address is in the United States. Consequently, you must use their online support systems:
- Contact form: Visit webflow.com/support and select your issue category
- Live chat: Available during Webflow's business hours (check their website for your time zone)

Escalation to the commerce commission
If Webflow refuses to honour your cancellation, continues charging after you've cancelled, or fails to provide the service as advertised, you can escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission.
File a complaint online at comcom.govt.nz or contact them directly:
- Commerce Commission complaints team
- Phone: 0800 943 600 (toll-free in New Zealand)
- Email: [email protected]
The Commerce Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and can compel Webflow to issue refunds or reinstate services. Yafee recommends gathering all supporting documentation-cancellation confirmations, payment receipts, and support correspondence-before submitting your complaint.
