Before Canceling:

- Note: Store and customer subscriptions will be canceled

How to Cancel:
- Open Billing panel
- Click Website/Commerce/Store under Subscriptions
- Select "Cancel subscription"

- Confirm cancellation
How to Disable Auto-Renew:
- Open Billing panel

After Cancellation:
- You can still access billing, domains, and export panels

Important: Website subscriptions cannot be transferred between sites - you must cancel and start fresh.
Note: You maintain access to billing, domains, content export, and other essential features even after your site expires.
