Learning how to cancel Thrive Market membership is important if you no longer want to pay the recurring membership fee.
You should also check your Recurring Shipments because canceling the membership and stopping automatic product deliveries are separate actions.
Thrive Market currently lets members cancel through Member Services. California members also have an account-setting option that may let them handle cancellation directly online.

How to Cancel Thrive Market Membership
You can generally cancel a Thrive Market membership at any time. For most members, Thrive Market directs cancellation requests through its Member Services team using its website chat or support email.
California members can manage cancellation through their Account Settings. Members in other states are generally directed to the company’s virtual agent or Member Services.
A typical cancellation process looks like this:
- Sign in to your Thrive Market account.
- Open the Help Center or Member Services chat.
- Ask to cancel your membership.
- Follow the virtual agent’s prompts.
- Decline retention offers if you still want to cancel.
- Confirm that future renewal has been stopped.
- Save the chat transcript or confirmation email.
- Check your Recurring Shipments separately.
Thrive Market says Member Services chat is available 24/7. Its current terms also list help@thrivemarket.com as a membership cancellation contact.
Pro Tip: Save written proof that your membership renewal was canceled. Keep a screenshot, email, or chat transcript until after the next scheduled billing date.
Can You Cancel Thrive Market Online?
Yes, but the process differs depending on where you live.
California members can generally use the Account page to manage their membership directly. Thrive Market currently tells other members to use its virtual agent or Member Services rather than providing the same self-service cancellation button.
This distinction matters because older guides may say there is a simple cancellation button for every member. That is not what Thrive Market’s current Help Center says.
How Much Does Thrive Market Membership Cost?
Thrive Market currently offers monthly and annual membership options. Its terms list the current standard annual rate as $59.95 and the monthly rate for memberships purchased after April 2022 as $12 per month.
| Membership | Current listed price | Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Annual | $59.95 per year | Automatically |
| Monthly | $12 per month | Automatically |
| Older monthly plans | May vary | Automatically |
Thrive Market says memberships automatically renew until you cancel membership. The renewal generally happens at the then-current rate.
Your own account may have a promotional or older price. Check your Membership Details page before relying only on the standard rates.
When Does Cancellation Take Effect?
Canceling generally stops future membership renewals. Thrive Market says your membership perks continue until the end of the membership period you already paid for.
For example, if you paid for a full annual term, cancellation generally prevents the next annual renewal. It does not necessarily end your already-paid access immediately.
There is an important exception for first-time annual members who cancel during the 30-day risk-free period. Thrive Market says those members lose ordering access when the cancellation is confirmed if they receive the refund.
Can You Get a Refund After Canceling Thrive Market?
First-time annual members currently have a 30-day risk-free period. Thrive Market says you can contact Member Services within those first 30 days and request a full refund of the annual membership fee.
The monthly plan does not generally include that same 30-day refund period. Thrive Market says monthly members can cancel future renewal before their next billing date.
Membership fees paid outside the applicable refund period are generally treated as non-refundable under the company’s current terms. Your individual result may still vary if there was a billing error.
Do You Need to Cancel Recurring Shipments Separately?
Yes. This is one of the most important parts of canceling Thrive Market.
Thrive Market’s Recurring program automatically schedules repeat product deliveries. The company says new members are automatically enrolled in Recurring, with items from the first order added to the next recurring box.
Canceling your membership and stopping recurring merchandise are separate actions. If you have an upcoming recurring shipment, review it immediately.
To turn off Recurring Shipments:
- Open your Recurring page.
- Scroll to the FAQ section.
- Select the option for turning off Recurring Shipments.
- Follow the confirmation prompts.
- Return to the Recurring page.
- Confirm that Recurring is turned off.
Thrive Market says you can cancel upcoming recurring shipments as long as they have not already processed.
Common Mistakes: Do not assume canceling your membership automatically handles every scheduled grocery shipment. Check Recurring separately and confirm that upcoming orders are turned off.
Can You Pause Thrive Market Instead of Canceling?
Thrive Market currently says it does not offer a way to pause or temporarily disable a membership. If you do not want another renewal, cancellation is generally the available option.
Annual members may qualify for Thrive Market’s Savings Guarantee. That program is different from pausing your membership and may provide Thrive Cash if your documented savings do not reach the annual membership cost.
What Happens If You Shop After Canceling?
Be careful about placing another order after your cancellation becomes effective.
Thrive Market’s current terms say that if you place an order after cancellation has taken effect, or reactivate the account, you may be charged the current annual membership rate. That new annual membership is described as non-refundable.
If your goal is to leave Thrive Market completely, avoid ordering after cancellation unless you intend to restart the membership.
What If You Cannot Cancel Thrive Market?
Some consumers report difficulty reaching the final cancellation step. Recent BBB and Trustpilot reviews mention long chat processes, retention offers, and confusion about whether a membership or recurring shipment was actually canceled.
Those complaints represent individual experiences and do not mean every cancellation will be difficult.
If you have a problem:
- Keep screenshots of the chat.
- Ask for written cancellation confirmation.
- Note the date and time.
- Check your Membership Details afterward.
- Review your next card statement.
- Contact Member Services again if renewal still appears active.
Thrive Market’s official terms are especially useful if support gives you conflicting information.
What If Thrive Market Charges You After Cancellation?
First, compare the charge date with the date your cancellation became effective. It may relate to an already-paid membership period, an order, or a separate Recurring Shipment.
Then contact Member Services and provide your cancellation confirmation. Ask the representative to explain what the new charge represents.
Recent BBB complaints include customers who said they saw renewal charges after attempting to cancel. Thrive Market’s responses in some cases show that refunds or corrections were issued, although outcomes varied by account.
If you believe a card charge was unauthorized or processed after a confirmed cancellation, you can also ask your bank or credit card issuer about its dispute process.
How to Make Sure Thrive Market Is Fully Canceled
Do not rely only on seeing the chat window close.
After you finish, check that the membership shows a canceled renewal or end date. Also verify that Recurring Shipments are disabled if you do not want another grocery order.
Keep confirmation records until at least one billing cycle has passed. If the account still shows an upcoming renewal, contact Member Services again.
