In this guide, we will explain how to manage automatic payments for your Cricut Access plan, how to update your payment method, and what to do if you no longer want your subscription to renew automatically.

What Are Automatic Payments for Cricut Access?

Automatic payments allow Cricut to charge your selected payment method whenever your subscription reaches its renewal date.

When you purchase a monthly or yearly Cricut Access plan, you generally authorize Cricut to renew your membership automatically until you cancel it.

This means you do not have to purchase the subscription manually every month or year.

Depending on your subscription plan, automatic payments may be processed through:

• Your saved payment method on your Cricut account.

• Apple App Store, if you subscribed through an iPhone or iPad.

• Google Play Store, if you subscribed through an Android device.

It is important to understand where you purchased your subscription because the payment and renewal settings must be managed through the appropriate platform.

1. Sign In to Your Cricut Account

The first step in managing automatic payments is accessing your Cricut account.

Follow these instructions:

1. Open your preferred web browser.

2. Visit the Cricut account website at myaccount.cricut.com.

3. Enter your registered email address.

4. Enter your Cricut account password.

5. Sign in to your account.

Make sure you use the same Cricut account that you used when purchasing your Cricut Access subscription.

Once you sign in successfully, you can access your account and subscription information.

2. Check Your Cricut Access Subscription Status

Before making changes to automatic payments, check your current subscription status.

This helps you understand whether your membership is active, when it will renew, and which subscription plan you are using.

Follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Cricut account.

2. Navigate to the Subscription section.

3. Review your current Cricut Access plan.

4. Check your subscription status.

5. Look for the next billing or renewal date.

You can also review subscription information through Cricut Design Space.

3. Update Your Cricut Access Payment Method

If your existing credit or debit card has expired, been replaced, or is no longer available, you may need to update your payment information.

For eligible accounts, Cricut allows users to manage their subscription payment method through their account settings.

Follow these steps:

1. Visit myaccount.cricut.com.

2. Sign in using your Cricut credentials.

3. Open the Payment Methods section.

4. Review your saved payment cards.

5. Add a new payment method if necessary.

6. Select the preferred card as your default payment method.

7. Confirm the changes.

Keep in mind that simply adding a new card does not automatically change the payment method used for your Cricut Access subscription.

You may need to select Make Default to use the new card for future subscription payments.

4. Manage Automatic Payments Through Apple or Google Play

Did you purchase your Cricut Access subscription through the mobile app?

If so, your subscription payments are generally managed through the app store account used for the purchase rather than directly through Cricut.

For Apple iPhone and iPad Users

If you purchased Cricut Access through the Apple App Store, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Tap your Apple Account name.

3. Select Subscriptions.

4. Find Cricut Access in your subscription list.

5. Review your renewal information.

6. Manage your subscription according to the available options.

You can also check the payment method associated with your Apple Account through your device settings.

For Android Users

If you purchased Cricut Access through Google Play, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Play Store.

2. Tap your profile icon.

3. Select Payments & subscriptions.

4. Open Subscriptions.

5. Find your Cricut Access membership.

6. Review your subscription and renewal details.

You can also manage your Google Play payment methods through the appropriate account settings.

Remember: Updating your Cricut account payment details may not change the payment method used for an Apple or Google Play subscription.

5. Turn Off Automatic Renewal by Canceling Your Subscription

If you no longer want to pay for Cricut Access, you can cancel your subscription before its next renewal date.

For subscriptions purchased directly through Cricut, follow these steps:

1. Visit myaccount.cricut.com.

2. Sign in to your Cricut account.

3. Select Subscription from the navigation menu.

4. Choose Cancel Plan.

5. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

6. Confirm your cancellation.

For subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google Play, you must cancel through the respective app store subscription settings.

After successful cancellation, your Cricut Access benefits generally remain available until the end of your current paid billing period.

6. Keep Track of Your Next Billing Date

Knowing your next billing date is one of the easiest ways to manage automatic payments.

Your renewal date tells you when your next subscription payment is scheduled.

You can check it by:

• Signing in to your Cricut account.

• Opening the Subscription section.

• Reviewing your current plan information.

• Checking the next billing date.

If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, check the subscription details in the corresponding app store.

Consider setting a calendar reminder a few days before your renewal date so you have enough time to review your subscription.

7. What Should You Do If Your Cricut Access Payment Fails?

Sometimes, automatic payments may fail because of expired cards, insufficient funds, incorrect billing information, or payment processing issues.

If your Cricut Access payment fails, try the following steps:

Step 1: Check your payment method

Make sure your saved card is active and has not expired.

Step 2: Verify your billing information

Review the billing details associated with your payment method.

Step 3: Check your available balance

Make sure sufficient funds or credit are available for the subscription payment.

Step 4: Update your payment details

If your previous card is no longer valid, add or select an appropriate replacement payment method.

Step 5: Check your subscription status

Sign in to your Cricut account or the relevant app store and confirm whether your subscription is still active.

If the payment continues to fail, contact Cricut Member Care or the relevant app store for additional assistance.

8. Understand What Happens After Canceling Cricut Access

Before canceling your membership, it is helpful to understand how cancellation affects your Cricut account.

When you cancel your Cricut Access subscription:

• Your subscription generally remains active until the end of your current paid billing period.

• You can continue using eligible subscription benefits during that period.

• After expiration, subscription-only images, fonts, and projects may no longer be available for use.

• You can continue using Cricut Design Space's free features and eligible free content.

• You can subscribe again if you want to access Cricut Access benefits in the future.

Remember that canceling Cricut Access does not mean you are canceling your Cricut account or losing access to your cutting machine.
