How to Cancel Skimmer

Ready to close your Skimmer account? Here are the steps.

  1. Log in to Skimmer. Go to getskimmer.com and sign into your account.
  2. Export your data first. Go to your customers page and look for an export option. Download your customer list as a CSV. Save this file — you will need it for your new software.
  3. Go to your account settings. Click your name or profile icon in the top corner. Look for "Account" or "Settings."
  4. Open the Billing section. Find the "Subscriptions" or "Billing" page inside settings.
  5. Cancel your subscription. Click the cancel option and follow the prompts. Your access stays active until the end of your billing period.
  6. Check your email. Skimmer should send a confirmation. Save it for your records.

Things to Know Before You Cancel

  • Export your data before you cancel. Once your account closes, you may not be able to get your data back.
  • Check your billing date. You have already paid for the current month. Use Skimmer until that period ends.
  • No cancellation fee. Skimmer is month-to-month. You can cancel any time without a penalty.
  • Download service history. If you want past visit records, export or screenshot them before you cancel.
  • Tell your team. If you have staff using Skimmer, let them know the switch date so nothing gets lost.

  • No GPS tracking for the team.
  • Support response times are slow when something breaks.
