Cancel subscriptions and issue 50% refund for customer

Automatically detect an agent-provided email inside a Sub-Zap by Zapier workflow across payment processors. Automatically cancel active subscriptions and issue a 50% partial refund when a recent paid charge exists, and notify internally when actions failβ€”so you can protect revenue and stop manual refund handling.

How this automation cancels subscriptions and issues refunds

When agent requests trigger refunds for active subscriptions, delays can create avoidable support load and revenue risk. This automation receives the email input, runs scripted subscription and refund actions, and notifies internally on failureβ€”so your team can process refunds with confidence.

    Integrate Sub-Zap by Zapier and workflow mapping to accept the agent email, and to pass API keys and product ids into the sub-zap.
