Cancel Loox: The Right Way to Protect Your Business

How to cancel Loox and protect your canadian small business

Understanding Loox and why you might cancel

Loox is a customer review and photo-review platform used by thousands of Canadian Shopify merchants to collect, display, and manage product reviews with visual content. The service provides customizable review widgets for your storefront, automated review request campaigns, and integrations with Google Shopping and Meta Shops to amplify social proof across your sales channels.

Many Canadian store owners use Loox to build trust through photo and video reviews, referral incentives, and AI-driven review tools on higher-tier plans. However, if your review strategy has shifted, your budget needs adjustment, or you've discovered a competing solution that better fits your needs, cancelling is straightforward when you follow the right steps.

At Tocancel, we recognize that cancelling a service you've relied on deserves clarity and confidence. This guide walks you through every option to end your Loox subscription cleanly and protect your billing going forward.

Why canadian merchants cancel Loox

You might be cancelling because you've outgrown the platform's features, switched to a different review management tool, or discovered that the monthly cost no longer fits your cash flow. Others cancel after finding competing platforms offer better value in Canadian dollars (CAD), or because automated review requests aren't converting customers as expected.

Whatever your reason, Tocancel is here to ensure your cancellation process is fast, documented, and dispute-proof.

Common reasons to reconsider cancellation

Before you cancel, pause to check whether downgrading to a lower-tier plan might serve you better. Loox's Beginner plan costs approximately C$17.54 per month and includes 100 monthly review request emails and basic widgets, making it a low-cost way to maintain review collection if you're unsure about fully cancelling.

Loox pricing in canada and plan comparison

Loox charges in USD but displays approximate CAD conversions at your payment processor, so actual costs vary slightly with exchange rates.

How billing works for canadian customers

Loox bills you through one of two channels: directly via Loox using Stripe or PayPal, or through your Shopify App Store subscription if you installed Loox as a Shopify app. Knowing your billing source is critical before you cancel, because each route has a different cancellation procedure. We will cover both methods step-by-step below.

Your consumer rights under canadian law

Canadian consumer protection laws, including provincial consumer protection acts and the Competition Act, give you clear rights when cancelling digital subscriptions.

Key protections for subscription cancellation in canada

Under the Competition Act and most provincial consumer protection frameworks, sellers must make cancellation as easy as subscribing. If Loox makes cancellation deliberately difficult, hides contact information, or fails to honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, you can file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.

Your legal position is straightforward: you have the right to cancel without penalty, and the company must acknowledge your request and stop billing within one billing cycle. This means if you cancel on the 15th of the month, Loox must stop charging you on or before the last day of that billing cycle.

Consumer protection enforcement in canada

If Loox continues to bill you after you cancel, or refuses to process your cancellation, contact your provincial Consumer Protection Office or Competition and Consumer Protection Canada. These bodies enforce your rights and can investigate unfair practices. Keep all cancellation confirmations, emails, and billing statements as evidence of your attempts to cancel.

How to cancel Loox from shopify

If you installed Loox through the Shopify App Store, you cancel directly from your Shopify dashboard without contacting Loox support. This method is the fastest and leaves an automatic record of your cancellation.

1. Log in to your Shopify admin dashboard and navigate to the Apps section.
2. Find and click on Loox in your list of installed apps.
3. Select the option to uninstall or remove the app from your store.
4. Shopify will prompt you to confirm the removal. Select confirm to proceed.
5. Your subscription will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle, and Shopify will stop charging you automatically.
6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page for your records.

Cancelling through Shopify ensures a clean break with no residual charges or billing surprises. Keep your confirmation screenshot as proof in case any charges appear on your next statement.

How to cancel Loox if you pay directly

If you subscribed to Loox outside of Shopify (using Stripe or PayPal directly), you must cancel through the Loox account settings or by contacting their support team. This method requires you to log in to your Loox dashboard or send a cancellation request.

1. Log in to your Loox account at the Loox dashboard.
2. Navigate to your account settings or billing section.
3. Look for a "Cancel subscription" or "Manage plan" option.
4. Click to cancel and follow the on-screen prompts, which may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation.
5. Loox should display a confirmation message. Screenshot this confirmation immediately.
6. Check your email for a confirmation receipt from Loox or your payment processor (Stripe or PayPal).
7. Verify that no charges appear on your next billing cycle (typically 30 days later).

If you cannot find a cancel option in your Loox dashboard, contact Loox support directly via their website. Request written confirmation of your cancellation in writing so you have documented proof.

Timeline and when your cancellation takes effect

Understanding when your cancellation becomes effective helps you plan your finances and avoid unexpected charges.

Cancellation timing for Loox subscriptions

Loox processes cancellations at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. If you cancel on day 5 of a 30-day billing cycle, you retain access to Loox until day 30 of that cycle, and your final charge occurs on day 1 of the next cycle if you do not cancel before then. Therefore, cancel as early as possible in your billing cycle to minimize charges.

After cancellation, your Loox account and all review data remain in your Shopify store for 30 days. You can reactivate your subscription during this grace period if you change your mind. After 30 days, Loox may delete your account data, so back up any reviews or data you want to keep.

What to expect after your cancellation is processed

Once your cancellation takes effect, your Loox widget stops displaying on your storefront, and you stop receiving automated review request emails. Your existing reviews remain on your store until you manually delete them. You retain full access to export or download your review data during the 30-day grace period. This means you can pull customer reviews and ratings before losing access completely.

Refunds and billing corrections after cancellation

Loox does not offer prorated refunds for partial billing cycles. If you cancel mid-month, you do not receive a refund for unused time. However, if Loox continues to charge you after your cancellation confirmation, you have grounds to dispute the charge.

How to dispute unwanted charges

If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation, follow these steps immediately. Contact your payment processor (Shopify, Stripe, or PayPal) and file a chargeback or dispute within 60 days of the unwanted charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation screenshot, confirmation email, and billing statements as evidence. Your payment processor will investigate and refund you if they confirm the charge was unauthorized.

You can also file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office if Loox refuses to acknowledge your cancellation or continues billing. Include all documentation: screenshots, emails, and transaction records. This creates an official record and may prompt Loox to issue a refund to resolve the complaint.

Common mistakes when cancelling Loox

Many merchants cancel Loox but then discover charges still appearing weeks later. The good news is that most of these mistakes are avoidable if you know what to watch for.

Uninstalling the app without confirming cancellation

Simply removing the Loox app from your Shopify store does not automatically cancel your subscription if you installed it directly through Loox's website rather than the Shopify App Store. You must explicitly cancel your plan through Loox's account settings or support team. Therefore, always confirm with Loox in writing that your subscription has been cancelled before considering the process complete.

Ignoring your confirmation email

After you request cancellation, Loox or Shopify sends a confirmation email. Many merchants delete this email without saving it. This email is your proof of cancellation and is essential if a disputed charge appears later. Save every cancellation confirmation email in a dedicated folder so you can reference it months later if needed.

Failing to monitor your next billing statement

The most common mistake is cancelling and then not checking your next billing statement. Even though you cancelled, a charge might appear if Loox did not process your request or if a payment authorization remained active. Check your Shopify billing statement, Stripe account, or PayPal account 30 to 35 days after cancellation to confirm no charge occurred. If a charge appears, dispute it immediately.

Cancelling but not backing up your review data

Once Loox deletes your account after 30 days, you lose access to your reviews and ratings. If you want to preserve this customer feedback, export your review data from Loox before your 30-day grace period ends. Many merchants regret losing this data after cancellation, so plan ahead.

Steps to protect yourself before cancelling

Taking a few precautionary steps before you cancel ensures a smooth transition and prevents billing surprises.

1. Export your review data from Loox so you retain customer feedback and ratings after cancellation.
2. Take a screenshot of your current Loox subscription plan and price to document what you were paying.
3. Note your next billing date in your calendar so you know when Loox should stop charging you.
4. Add a reminder to check your payment statement 5 days after your next billing date to confirm no charge occurred.
5. Keep all cancellation confirmation emails in a separate folder labeled "Loox Cancellation" for easy reference.
6. Take a screenshot of any cancellation confirmation page displayed after you submit your request.

Contact information for canadian consumer protection

If Loox refuses to honour your cancellation or continues charging you, escalate your complaint to the appropriate Canadian authority.

Filing a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office

Each Canadian province has a consumer protection office responsible for investigating complaints about digital subscriptions and unauthorized billing. Contact your provincial office and provide your cancellation confirmation, billing statements, and all communication with Loox. These offices have the authority to investigate and compel refunds if Loox has violated consumer protection laws.

You can also file a complaint with Competition and Consumer Protection Canada, the federal body that enforces the Competition Act. Visit their website to submit a complaint about unfair business practices or unauthorized charges. Include all documentation of your cancellation attempts and provide a detailed timeline of events.

Sending a certified letter to Loox

If digital contact with Loox fails, send a certified letter requesting cancellation and refund. Address your letter to Loox's registered business address in Canada. Use Canada Post's Xpresspost with signature required (Raccomandata A/R equivalent) to create a paper trail. In your letter, clearly state your request to cancel, the dates you attempted to cancel, and any unauthorized charges you have discovered. Keep a copy of the letter and the postal receipt as evidence.

For best results when sending correspondence to Loox in Canada, ensure your letter includes your account number, email address, billing amount, and the last date you were charged. Request written confirmation of cancellation and any refunds owed. Send the letter to the address listed on your billing statement or Loox's official website.

Final steps: after cancellation is complete

Once your Loox cancellation is fully processed and no further charges appear, take final steps to close this chapter and prevent future problems.

Removing Loox reviews from your storefront

After cancellation, your Loox review widget stops functioning, but the widget code may remain on your store. Manually remove the Loox widget from your Shopify theme if you do not want any trace of it visible to customers. This improves the appearance of your storefront and prevents confusion if a customer clicks on a non-functional review widget.

Migrating reviews to an alternative platform

If you exported your Loox reviews and want to display them on an alternative platform, import your review data into your new review tool. Most platforms accept CSV files or manual uploads. This preserves your customer feedback and social proof without losing your hard-earned reviews.

Documenting your successful cancellation

File all cancellation-related documents (confirmation emails, screenshots, receipts, and dispute correspondence) in a folder named "Loox Cancellation Complete" with the date of cancellation. This organized record is valuable if any disputes arise months later, and it serves as proof that you successfully completed the process.
