There is no such feature unless you want to trip security that even you can’t log in.
If you want to stop a recurring payment, go to merchant website and follow their directions to pause or cancel recurring payments, then:
- Go to Settings.
- Click Payments.
- Click Manage automatic payments.
- Select the merchant.
- Click Cancel.
- Be sure to go to Data & Privacy on the sub menu on the Settings page to Remove any permissions given to the site/merchant.
To restart, recurring payment, you’ll have to resubscribe to their services again by paying for another subscription.
For business account:
- Go to Account Settings.
- Click Money, Banks and Cards.
- Click Set Automatic Payments.
- Select the merchant.
- Click Cancel.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
