This Article is a complete guide for all cancellation processes for SaaS-enabled sub-accounts. It contains instructions on how to cancel a SAAS sub-account for your client and how to allow them to cancel their SAAS subscription with your Agency. 

**IMPORTANT**: Key points to remember when Cancelling Saas for a Sub-account.  
1\. You must be logged in with an Agency-level (admin) user – sub-accounts can only be canceled by Agency admins.  
2\. If you don’t see “Cancel SaaS” under Settings → SaaS, go to Agency Dashboard → Sub-accounts, click the three-dot menu on the client’s tile, and select “Cancel Subscription.”  
3\. If the button is still missing, ensure the sub-account has an active SaaS plan. Inactive or trial accounts won’t show a cancel option.  
If you’ve verified the above and still can’t cancel, please reach out to GHL Customer Care Support
