For more information about cancelling as it relates to billing, see "Cobrar dos clientes."
Step 1. Cancellation event
If a customer chooses to cancel a GitHub Marketplace order, GitHub sends a marketplace_purchase
webhook with the action cancelled
to your app when the cancellation takes effect. If the customer cancels during a free trial, your app will receive the event immediately. When a customer cancels a paid plan, the cancellation will occur at the end of the customer's billing cycle.
Step 2. Deactivating customer accounts
When a customer cancels a free or paid plan, your app must perform these steps to complete cancellation:
- Deactivate the account of the customer who canceled their plan.
- Revoke the OAuth token your app received for the customer.
- If your app is an OAuth App, remove all webhooks your app created for repositories.
- Remove all customer data within 30 days of receiving the
cancelled
event.
Note: We recommend using the marketplace_purchase
webhook's effective_date
to determine when a plan change will occur and periodically synchronizing the List accounts for a plan. For more information on webhooks, see "Eventos do Webhook para a API do GitHub Marketplace."
