How to cancel Shortmax
To cancel your Shortmax subscription, log into your account on the Shortmax website or app, go to your account settings or billing section, and look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" option. The exact location depends on whether you signed up through the Shortmax website directly or through a third-party platform like Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon. If you subscribed through a third-party platform, you must cancel through that same platform, not through Shortmax itself.
Before you cancel, check whether you are in a free trial period or a paid billing cycle. If you cancel during a free trial, your access stops when ready when the trial ends. If you cancel during a paid cycle, you typically keep access until the end of your current billing period, after which your subscription ends and you are not charged again.
Keep a record of your cancellation confirmation, which should include a confirmation number or email. This protects you if Shortmax continues to charge you after cancellation.
Key Takeaways
- Cancellation happens in your account settings under billing or subscription management, but the exact steps depend on where you signed up.
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or Amazon, you must cancel through that platform, not through Shortmax directly.
- Cancelling during a paid billing cycle usually lets you keep access until the end of that cycle, but cancelling during a free trial stops access when the trial ends.
- Save your cancellation confirmation number or email in case Shortmax charges you after you cancel.
Cancelling a subscription started on the Shortmax website
If you created your Shortmax account directly on shortmax.com and paid with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal, cancel through the Shortmax website. Log in to your account, find the settings or account menu (usually in the top right corner or in a hamburger menu), and select an option like "Billing," "Subscription," or "Manage Plan."
Look for a button or link that says "Cancel Subscription," "Cancel Plan," or "End Membership." Click it and follow the prompts. Shortmax may ask why you are cancelling or offer you a discount to stay; you can skip these steps and proceed with cancellation. After you confirm, you should see a message saying your subscription is cancelled, and you will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes.
Cancelling a subscription started through Apple App Store
If you signed up for Shortmax through the Apple App Store on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you must cancel through Apple, not through Shortmax. Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Subscriptions," find Shortmax in the list, and tap it.
Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Free Trial" depending on your status. Apple will ask you to confirm; tap again to complete the cancellation. You will see a message confirming the cancellation date. Apple sends a confirmation email to the address associated with your Apple ID.
Cancelling a subscription started through Google Play
If you signed up for Shortmax through Google Play on an Android phone or tablet, cancel through Google Play, not through Shortmax. Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions," and find Shortmax.
Tap "Cancel Subscription." Google Play will show you the date your access ends and ask you to confirm the cancellation. Tap "Cancel Subscription" again to finish. You will receive a confirmation email from Google.
Cancelling a subscription started through Amazon
If you signed up for Shortmax through Amazon (either through Prime Video Channels or as a standalone Amazon subscription), cancel through your Amazon account. Go to amazon.com, sign in, and go to "Your Account." Select "Memberships and Subscriptions" or "Prime Video Channels," find Shortmax, and click "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Subscription."
Amazon will show you when your current billing period ends and confirm that you will not be charged after that date. Click to confirm the cancellation. Amazon sends a confirmation email to your account email address.
What happens after you cancel
After cancellation, your access to Shortmax content ends on the date your current billing period expires. If you cancelled during a free trial, access stops when the trial period ends. If you cancelled during a paid month or year, you can still watch until that billing cycle closes, then your account becomes inactive.
Your account information, watch history, and saved content may remain in Shortmax's system for a period of time, but you cannot log in or stream after your subscription ends. If you want to reactivate your subscription later, you can log back in and restart it, though Shortmax may treat it as a new subscription rather than a resumption of your old one.
If Shortmax continues charging after cancellation
If you see a charge from Shortmax on your credit card, debit card, or bank account after your cancellation date, contact your payment method first. Call your credit card company, bank, or PayPal and report the unauthorized charge. They can dispute it and may reverse it within 30 to 60 days.
Also contact Shortmax customer support directly with your cancellation confirmation number. Explain that you cancelled on a specific date and are still being charged. Shortmax can investigate whether the cancellation went through and issue a refund if the charge was an error. Keep records of all communications and charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?
Most subscription services, including Shortmax, do not issue refunds for partial months or years. You keep access through the end of your current billing period, but you are not refunded for the unused portion. Check Shortmax's refund policy in your account settings or contact their support team if you believe your situation warrants an exception.
Can I pause my subscription instead of cancelling?
Shortmax does not offer a pause or freeze option. Your only choices are to keep your subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying but may return later, cancelling and restarting when you are ready is your option.
What if I forgot which platform I used to sign up?
Check your email for a receipt or confirmation from when you first subscribed. The email will say whether it came from Shortmax, Apple, Google, or Amazon. You can also try logging into shortmax.com; if your account exists there, you subscribed directly. If not, you signed up through a third-party platform.
Do I need to delete the Shortmax app to cancel my subscription?
No. Cancelling your subscription and deleting the app are separate actions. You can delete the app anytime, but cancellation must happen through your account settings or the platform where you subscribed. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription or stop charges.
How long does it take for cancellation to take effect?
Cancellation is usually when ready. You should see a confirmation message right away and receive a confirmation email within minutes. Your access ends on your next billing date or at the end of your current billing cycle, depending on when you cancelled.
