Cancel Invoice Simple: The Right Way

How to cancel Invoice Simple and reclaim your money in malaysia

What Invoice Simple is and why malaysian users subscribe

Invoice Simple is a cloud-based invoicing software designed for freelancers and small business owners who need a faster way to bill clients and track payments. The service runs on a subscription model with a 14-day free trial that gives you access to premium features upfront, so you can test the full experience before committing to paid plans.

Many Malaysian users discover too late that Invoice Simple is not a one-time purchase but a recurring software subscription with automatic monthly or annual billing. The service charges in US dollars, which means your actual cost in ringgit fluctuates with exchange rates and card processing fees. At current rates, monthly plans range from approximately RM33 to RM104, depending on which tier you choose.

The core appeal is simplicity: you create invoices, send them to clients, and track payments in one dashboard. Higher-tier plans unlock features like unlimited invoices per month, client signatures, payment deposits, and invoice restoration. However, many users find they can accomplish their billing needs with free or cheaper local alternatives like Bukku, AutoCount, or Zoho Invoice after their first few months.

The subscription plans and what you actually pay

Invoice Simple offers three main subscription tiers, each with different invoice limits and feature access. Understanding your current plan is essential before you cancel, because you need to confirm which billing date triggers your next charge and whether you qualify for any refund on unused time.

These prices are published on the Invoice Simple website, but your final charge depends on which payment method you used. If you subscribed via the web, you pay through your credit card or stored payment method on file. If you downloaded the mobile app and subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, your billing runs through those platforms instead, which means your cancellation process is different.

Why malaysian users typically cancel

The most common reasons users cancel Invoice Simple are straightforward: they find simpler or cheaper alternatives, their business needs change, or they realise the software does not integrate well with their existing local accounting systems. Some users also discover that Invoice Simple does not fully support Malaysian tax requirements like MyInvois compliance, which AutoCount handles natively.

Cost is another factor. Over a year, a Premium subscription totals around RM1,248 annually, which can feel steep for freelancers or micro-businesses that only send a handful of invoices per month. Tocancel research shows that most cancellations happen within the first three months, often because users overestimate their invoicing volume or find free alternatives meet their actual needs.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Invoice Simple in malaysia

When you cancel a software subscription in Malaysia, your rights are protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which governs all contracts between businesses and consumers, including digital services. Understanding these rights puts you in a stronger position if Invoice Simple refuses to cancel, delays a refund, or continues charging after you request cancellation.

What the law says about your cancellation rights

The Consumer Protection Act 1999 entitles you to cancel any subscription contract within fourteen days of purchase, without penalty or explanation. This cooling-off period applies even if you have already used Invoice Simple during your free trial. If you paid for a plan and changed your mind within fourteen days, you have the legal right to request a full refund, provided you did not knowingly waive this right in writing at the time of purchase.

Beyond the fourteen-day window, Invoice Simple may impose early termination fees if its Terms of Service specify them. However, if the service fails to deliver its advertised features, or if you discover the Terms were unfair or not clearly disclosed at signup, you can escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), Malaysia's consumer protection regulator. Tocancel recommends documenting every communication with Invoice Simple support, because the MDTCA may ask for proof that you attempted to resolve the issue directly first.

Your legal position is this: you have a right to cancel at any time by notifying Invoice Simple in writing (email counts), and if they continue charging after you cancel, you can dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer and file a complaint with the MDTCA if the company refuses to reverse it.

What to do if Invoice Simple refuses to cancel

If Invoice Simple delays your cancellation or claims they never received your request, do not assume the problem will resolve itself. Instead, send a second cancellation email to [email protected] with a clear subject line like "Cancellation Request - Invoice Simple Account [your email]" and request a read receipt or reply confirming the cancellation date.

If Invoice Simple does not respond within seven working days, or if they refuse to cancel, escalate immediately. Contact the MDTCA via their online complaint portal at www.mdtca.gov.my or call their consumer helpline. Provide your emails, screenshots of your account showing active billing, and any evidence that Invoice Simple was notified. The MDTCA has authority to investigate unfair contract terms and force refunds, and they take digital service complaints seriously.

How to cancel Invoice Simple: step-by-step for each platform

Your cancellation method depends on where you subscribed. If you signed up directly on Invoice Simple's website, you cancel through your account settings. If you downloaded the app and subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel within those app stores instead, because deleting the app alone will not stop your recurring charges. Tocancel emphasises this because many users miss this crucial distinction and find themselves charged weeks after they thought they had cancelled.

Cancel if you subscribed on the Invoice Simple website

1. Log into your Invoice Simple account at invoicesimple.com using your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page and follow the email link to reset it.
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription settings, usually found in the top-right menu under your profile name or a settings gear icon.
   • Look for a section labelled "Billing", "Subscription", or "Plans".
3. Find your current active subscription plan and look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade" button.
   • Do not select "Pause" if that option appears, because pausing is temporary and billing may resume automatically.
4. Click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your decision when prompted.
   • Invoice Simple may offer you a discount to stay; you can ignore this or accept if you prefer to continue.
5. Complete the cancellation and wait for a confirmation email from Invoice Simple.
   • The email should state your cancellation effective date and confirm no further charges will apply.
6. If no confirmation email arrives within 24 hours, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with your account email and request written proof of cancellation.
   • Keep this email for your records in case a dispute charge appears later.

Cancel if you subscribed through apple app store

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
   • Do not open Invoice Simple itself; you must use the App Store app to manage subscriptions.
2. Tap your profile picture or account icon in the top-right corner, then select "Subscriptions".
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions associated with your Apple ID.
3. Locate "Invoice Simple" in the list and tap on it.
   • If Invoice Simple does not appear, it may have already been cancelled or your subscription was under a different Apple ID.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm the cancellation.
   • Apple will display the last billing date and confirm your access ends on that date.
5. A confirmation screen will appear; take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
   • Apple also sends an email to your Apple ID account email address confirming the cancellation.
6. Monitor your Apple ID billing statements for the next 30 days to ensure no further charges appear.
   • If a charge appears after cancellation, contact Apple Support immediately with your screenshot and request a refund.

Cancel if you subscribed through google play

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
   • Do not delete the Invoice Simple app; you must manage the subscription through the Play Store app instead.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Payments and subscriptions".
   • You will see "Subscriptions" as an option in the menu.
3. Tap "Subscriptions" and find "Invoice Simple" in the list of active subscriptions.
   • If Invoice Simple does not appear, it may have already been cancelled or active under a different Google account.
4. Tap on Invoice Simple and select "Cancel subscription".
   • Google Play will ask you to confirm and may offer a brief survey about why you are cancelling.
5. Confirm the cancellation on the next screen.
   • Google Play displays your final billing date and when access will end.
6. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation and check your Google account email for a cancellation receipt.
   • Google also sends a summary to your Google account within 24 hours.

What happens after you cancel Invoice Simple

Once your cancellation is confirmed, Invoice Simple typically grants you access until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your plan renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 5th, you retain full access until the 15th at no extra cost, then your account downgrades or becomes inactive. It is important to plan your cancellation date strategically so you are not paying for unused time.

Access and data after cancellation

After your subscription ends, you lose access to premium features immediately. Any invoices, client data, and payment history remain visible in a read-only format for a limited time, usually thirty to ninety days, depending on Invoice Simple's data retention policy. Tocancel advises you to export or screenshot all invoices and customer information before cancellation, because once the account fully closes, recovery may be impossible or require contacting support with a fee.

To export your data before cancellation, log into your account and look for an "Export" or "Download" option, usually in settings or under your invoice list. Most invoicing software allows you to download a PDF or CSV file of all invoices and client records. Save these files to your computer and back them up to cloud storage like Google Drive or OneDrive. If Invoice Simple does not offer an export tool, email [email protected] and ask them to provide your data export before the deadline; consumer protection law in Malaysia entitles you to a copy of your data.

What happens if you still owe Invoice Simple money

If your account was overdue or you had a disputed charge, cancellation does not erase that debt. Invoice Simple may continue to attempt collection or sell the debt to a third party. If you believe a charge was unfair or fraudulent, dispute it with your bank immediately rather than waiting for Invoice Simple to sort it out, because your bank can reverse charges up to 120 days after the transaction in most cases.

Refunds: what you can recover and how to claim them

Whether you receive a refund depends on when you cancel and the reason. If you cancel within fourteen days of first subscribing and have not used the service extensively, you have a legal right to a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Beyond fourteen days, refunds are at Invoice Simple's discretion, unless the service failed to meet its advertised features or terms were unfair.

When Invoice Simple should refund you

Invoice Simple should refund you in these situations:

• You cancel within fourteen days of purchase (cooling-off period under CPA 1999).
• The service was unavailable or did not function as advertised for a significant portion of your billing month.
• A charge was processed twice or without your authorisation (duplicate billing).
• You cancelled successfully but Invoice Simple continued charging you after the cancellation date.

To claim a refund, email [email protected] with your account email, the transaction date, and the reason for the refund request. Include screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and any billing records that prove the charge was improper. Request a response within seven working days and specify whether you want the refund applied to your original payment method or as a credit.

If Invoice Simple refuses or does not respond within fourteen days, escalate to your bank or card issuer and file a chargeback dispute. Provide your bank with copies of all correspondence with Invoice Simple and evidence that you requested cancellation or a refund. Your bank can recover the funds on your behalf, and Tocancel recommends this approach for users who have attempted multiple times to reach Invoice Simple without resolution.

Common mistakes when cancelling Invoice Simple

It is easy to slip up during cancellation, and one mistake can leave you charged for months longer than intended. Most of these errors are preventable if you know what to watch for.

Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

Deleting the Invoice Simple app from your phone does nothing to stop recurring charges. The subscription continues on Apple or Google's servers, and your next billing cycle runs silently in the background. Many users assume deleting the app is the same as cancelling, then discover unexpected charges weeks later.

Always cancel the subscription through the App Store or Google Play directly, never through the app itself or by simply removing it from your device.

Mistake two: ignoring the confirmation email

After you cancel through Invoice Simple's website or an app store, you should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours. If no email arrives, do not assume the cancellation went through. Instead, log back into your account and verify that your subscription is no longer listed as active. If it is still showing, contact [email protected] immediately and request confirmation in writing.

Save every cancellation confirmation email and screenshot for at least twelve months, because you may need them if a disputed charge appears on your statement later.

Mistake three: cancelling right before your renewal date

If you cancel on the same day or the day before your subscription renews, you risk the system processing one final charge before your cancellation takes effect. Instead, cancel at least three to five working days before your renewal date to allow the system time to process and confirm your cancellation. You retain full access until your renewal date either way, so there is no benefit to cancelling at the last minute.

Mistake four: not exporting your data first

Once your account closes, recovering invoices and client records becomes difficult or impossible. Before you cancel, download or export every invoice, estimate, and client contact in your account. If Invoice Simple does not offer a built-in export feature, request your data in writing from [email protected]. They are legally required to provide this under Malaysia's data protection and consumer rights laws.
