How to cancel Native and stop recurring charges in the philippines
What Native is and why you might want to cancel
Native is a subscription service that delivers personal care products-deodorant, body wash, and toothpaste-to your door on an auto-renewing schedule. Charges hit your account automatically each billing cycle unless you cancel before your next renewal date. If you signed up for a free trial, locked into a monthly plan, or simply no longer need the service, you must follow a formal cancellation process to avoid unexpected charges on your card or mobile wallet.
The problem many Filipino users face: Native's cancellation workflow is not always obvious, support response times are slow, and free trials convert to paid plans without prominent reminders. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate exactly this scenario, and we've compiled the legal framework and step-by-step procedure to protect you.
Native subscription plans and pricing in the philippines
Native offers tiered subscription options with prices displayed in USD, then converted to Philippine pesos by your bank, GCash, Maya, or card issuer at their exchange rate. Always verify the exact PHP amount your payment provider charges against Native's quoted USD price.

Why you should cancel Native
You may want to cancel Native for several reasons: the products do not suit your skin, the monthly cost exceeds your budget, you've found a cheaper alternative, or you simply prefer shopping in-store. Whatever your reason, you have the legal right to cancel at any time under Philippine consumer protection law.
Cancellation becomes urgent if you are on a free trial and forgot the end date, or if you signed up during a promotional period that has now expired. The sooner you cancel, the sooner you halt recurring charges.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Philippines Consumer Act (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you as a buyer against unfair subscription practices, deceptive advertising, and hidden auto-renewal terms. Native must comply with this law even though the company operates internationally.
Key protections the consumer act grants you
Under RA 7394, you have the right to cancel a subscription at any time without penalty, provided Native disclosed the auto-renewal terms clearly before you agreed. The law mandates that companies inform you of the cancellation deadline for free trials and the exact auto-renewal date before any charge is processed.
If Native failed to display this information conspicuously at sign-up, you may have grounds to dispute the charge. You also retain the right to request a refund if the service was not delivered as advertised or if the charge was processed without your clear, informed consent. The burden rests on Native to prove you agreed to recurring charges.
Your legal position: You are protected under RA 7394 to cancel subscriptions without penalty. If Native charged you after a free trial ended without sending you a clear reminder, or if the cancellation process is deliberately hidden, you have cause to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group (CPG). Keep all screenshots of sign-up pages, emails, and billing statements as evidence.
Escalation: when to contact the department of trade and industry
If Native refuses to cancel your subscription or denies a refund request after you have submitted evidence, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Protection Group (DTI CPG). The DTI is the primary enforcement body for consumer rights in the Philippines. You can file online at dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI office. Include copies of your sign-up confirmation, billing statements, and all correspondence with Native support.
How to cancel Native: step-by-step procedure
Cancellation requires you to log into your Native account and locate your subscription settings. Follow these steps carefully to ensure your cancellation is processed before your next billing date.
Step 1: log in to your Native account
- Visit the Native website or open the Native mobile app.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, select "Forgot password?" and follow the email reset link.
Step 2: navigate to subscription or account settings
- Once logged in, locate the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) or your account profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Account settings," "Subscriptions," "Billing," or "My subscription"-the exact label varies by app version.
- Look for a section labeled "Active subscriptions," "Current plan," or "Recurring orders."
Step 3: select the subscription you wish to cancel
- If you have multiple subscriptions (for example, separate deliveries for different products), identify the one you want to stop.
- Tap or click on that subscription to open its details page.
- Verify the billing date and amount one final time before proceeding.
Step 4: click the cancel or pause option
- Select the button labeled "Cancel subscription," "Cancel renewal," "Pause subscription," or similar text.
- Native may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation. Select the option that applies (for example, "Too expensive," "Found a better product," "No longer needed").
- Read any final offer or discount code Native presents. If you are cancelling due to cost, note whether Native offers a temporary discount to keep your subscription active.
- Confirm the cancellation by selecting the final "Cancel" or "Confirm" button.
Step 5: save your cancellation confirmation
- Native will display a cancellation confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot immediately showing the date and time of cancellation.
- Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a cancellation confirmation email from Native within 24 hours.
- Save this email and your screenshot for your records. You will need this proof if you need to dispute a charge later.
Yafee recommends storing cancellation confirmations in a folder on your phone or computer labeled "Subscription Records" for quick reference if any billing disputes arise.
Step 6: verify your subscription is cancelled
- Log back into your Native account 2-3 days after cancellation.
- Navigate to your subscription settings again and confirm the subscription no longer appears in your "Active subscriptions" list.
- If the subscription still shows as active, contact Native support immediately (see contact information below).
What happens after you cancel Native
Cancelling your Native subscription does not immediately refund the current billing period. Instead, your subscription ends on the date of your next scheduled renewal, and no further charges will be applied after that date.
Your final charge and billing date
If you cancel today and your next renewal is scheduled for 15 days from now, you will still be charged in 15 days for that final cycle. After that charge posts, no additional charges will be processed. To avoid this final charge, you must cancel before the start of a new billing period. If you cancel on your billing date itself (the day the charge is processed), Native may still process the charge because the transaction has already been authorized.
Check your bank or mobile wallet statement 3-5 days after your cancellation date to confirm no unexpected charges appear. If a charge posts after you have cancelled, contact Native support with your cancellation confirmation screenshot.
Accessing your product archive and order history
After cancellation, your account remains active, and you can still access your order history, tracking information, and product reviews. You will not lose this data simply because your subscription has ended. If you ever want to reactivate a subscription, you can do so by logging back in and selecting "Reactivate subscription" from your account menu.
Refunds and disputed charges
Native's standard refund policy does not issue refunds for the current billing period after cancellation is submitted. However, you have grounds to request a refund if a charge was processed after your cancellation confirmation date.
How to request a refund for an erroneous charge
- Gather evidence: your cancellation confirmation screenshot, cancellation email from Native, and your bank statement showing the disputed charge with its date and amount.
- Contact Native support via email with the subject line: "Refund request for charge posted after subscription cancellation on [date]."
- Attach your screenshots and provide the transaction ID from your bank statement (visible in your bank app or statement PDF).
- Allow 7-10 business days for Native support to respond. If you receive no response within 10 days, escalate to the DTI Consumer Protection Group (see details below).
Disputing charges through your bank or mobile wallet provider
If Native does not process a refund within 30 days, you have the right to dispute the charge with your bank or payment provider. Contact your bank's dispute department (GCash, Maya, or your credit/debit card issuer) and provide your cancellation confirmation and the evidence that the charge was unauthorized.
- GCash users: Report unauthorized transactions in the GCash app under "Transactions" or call GCash Customer Service at 0917-539-0000.
- Maya users: File a dispute through the Maya app or contact Maya Customer Service at 1-800-1-888-2000.
- Credit or debit card users: Contact your card issuer's dispute department directly. Most banks allow disputes to be filed within 60 days of the transaction.
Your bank or payment provider will investigate the charge and will likely issue a chargeback (reversal) if you submit proof of cancellation. This process typically takes 30-45 days.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Most cancellation problems arise from small oversights, and the good news is that you can avoid all of them with awareness. Yafee has documented these patterns across thousands of user cases.
Mistake 1: cancelling too close to your billing date
If you cancel on the same day your subscription renews, the charge will likely process because the transaction has already been authorized by your bank. The renewal date is set in advance, and cancellation requests submitted a few hours before that date may not reach Native's payment processor in time.
Action: Cancel at least 48-72 hours before your next billing date. Check your subscription settings to see the exact renewal date, then set a phone reminder for 3 days before that date.
Mistake 2: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Some subscription platforms offer a "pause" option, which temporarily freezes charges but keeps your subscription active. After the pause period ends (typically 1-3 months), charges resume automatically. If you selected "pause" instead of "cancel," your subscription will restart without warning.
Action: Look for the option explicitly labeled "cancel," "end subscription," or "close account." If you only see "pause," proceed to cancel and then contact support to confirm the subscription has ended, not paused.
Mistake 3: not saving cancellation confirmation
If you do not take a screenshot or save your cancellation email, you have no proof of cancellation if a dispute arises. Native's support team may claim they have no record of your request, and you will have difficulty disputing the charge with your bank.
Action: Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page immediately and save the confirmation email. Store both in a dedicated folder on your phone or computer.
Mistake 4: assuming cancellation is instant
Cancellation can take 24-48 hours to process on Native's backend. If you receive a refund before verifying cancellation, assume the process is still underway. Check your account 3 days after cancellation to confirm the subscription no longer appears in your active list.
Action: Wait 3 days after cancellation before assuming it has taken effect. If the subscription still shows as active after 3 days, contact support immediately.
Mistake 5: not checking for auto-conversion during free trial
Free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions on the trial end date unless you cancel in advance. Many users forget this deadline and are surprised by a charge a few days after the trial ends.
Action: Mark your free trial end date in your calendar on the day you sign up. Set a phone alarm for 2 days before the trial ends, giving yourself a buffer to cancel before conversion occurs.
Timeline: when cancellation takes effect
Understanding the cancellation timeline helps you plan around your final charge and ensures you recognize when something has gone wrong.
