However, there may come a time when you decide to stop these automatic deductions, whether you're tightening your budget or cancelling a service altogether.
If you’re looking to disable autopay on Google Pay, here’s a clear and complete guide to help you through the process.
Step-by-step process to cancel Autopay on Google Pay
To turn off the autopay feature on Google Pay, follow these steps:
- Open the Google Pay app on your smartphone.
- Tap on your profile picture located at the top right corner of the home screen.
- From the menu, select the ‘Autopay’ option.
- A list of all your active autopay arrangements will appear.
- Choose the service for which you want to stop autopay.
- Tap on ‘Cancel Autopay’ for that subscription.
- You may be prompted to confirm your action and enter your UPI PIN to complete the cancellation.

Important details to remember after cancelling Autopay
In some cases, autopay cancellations may not take effect immediately. The time required can differ depending on the merchant.
Disabling autopay through Google Pay doesn’t always cancel the underlying service. You might need to contact the company directly to ensure the subscription is fully discontinued.
If a payment was already queued before the cancellation, it might still be processed even after you’ve turned off autopay.
