Google Pay has become a popular digital payment platform, known for its seamless experience and secure transactions. Among its many features is the ability to automate recurring payments—ideal for services such as subscriptions, utility bills, and mobile recharges. 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.
  • After successfully cancelling, a confirmation message will be displayed.

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.
