Last verified today against Genstore’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below

The short answer

Genstore lets you manage your plan any time from Settings → Billing, including upgrading, downgrading, or cancelling, and its help docs reference prorated billing when you change plans. Cancelling is done by deactivating the store, which ends the subscription immediately and removes admin access. Genstore does not publish a clear refund window or money-back guarantee in the sources reviewed, so refunds are not guaranteed outside your statutory rights. Downloadable past invoices and two years of retained store data remain available after deactivation.

Genstore’s refund policy

Genstore’s own refund policy isn’t prominently documented. That doesn’t mean you have no rights, most jurisdictions give you a statutory cancel-and-refund window on new subscriptions (14 days in the UK / EU, US auto-renewal protections vary by state). See “What you can claim, by region” below for the angle that applies where you live.

What you can claim

The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.

United States

  • Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)
    Dispute any credit-card charge in writing within 60 days.

    For US credit-card payments, the FCBA gives you 60 days from the statement date to dispute a Genstore charge in writing. Your card issuer is required to investigate and may withhold the disputed amount during the process.

  • California ARL refund right
    Refund if cancel was blocked or unclear.

    If Genstore made it hard to cancel under California ARL, you’re entitled to a refund of charges taken since the obstruction. Multiple class actions (including against Adobe + Hulu) have set the precedent.

Worldwide

  • Card-issuer chargeback
    Visa/Mastercard chargeback works everywhere they do.

    Open a chargeback for “subscription not cancelled” or “services not as described”, your bank initiates, Genstore has ~45 days to defend. Works regardless of where Genstore is headquartered.

  • PayPal Buyer Protection
    If you paid via PayPal, open a dispute.

    PayPal’s Buyer Protection covers “item not as described”, applies to services that didn’t deliver. Resolution typically within 20 days.

Refund FAQ for Genstore

No cancellation fee is mentioned in Genstore's help docs, deactivating your store simply ends the subscription and stops future renewals. What you should watch is the **transaction fee** on sales: reports put Genstore's platform cut at roughly 2% / 1% / 0.6% on the Lite / Growth / Scale tiers, plus card processing around 2.8% + 30¢. Those apply while you're active, not on exit.
