Common Questions

How Do I Cancel My Tapo Care Subscription?

To cancel, turn off auto-renewal—your service will continue until the end of the current billing period.

Will I Receive a Refund When I Cancel?

No, since Tapo Care is a prepaid subscription service, refunds are not provided.

How Do I Turn Off Auto-renewal for Tapo Care?

The steps for turning off auto-renewal depend on your payment method for the Tapo Care plan. We recommend checking your billing statements or receipts to confirm which payment method you used.

• Apple App Store:

iOS 11-13: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > Subscriptions. iOS 14 and above: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. The path may vary with the system version. Please refer to the description on Apple's official website.

• Google Play Store:

Go to Google Play Store > Profile > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions > Tapo Care. The path may vary with the system version. Refer to the description on Google Play's official website.

• PayPal or Credit/Debit Card:

Go to the Tapo web portal and sign in with your TP-Link ID. Tap on your Subscription Card, then click Cancel.

Note: If you use a credit/debit card for payment, your card issuer may charge a foreign transaction fee when the transaction currency differs from your card's billing currency. TP-Link is not responsible for these additional fees.

Can I Transfer My Tapo Care Plan to a Different TP-Link ID?

No, the Tapo Care Plan is tied to your TP-Link account, so you cannot transfer it to a different TP-Link account.

For Google/Apple Subscriptions:

If you originally subscribed to Tapo Care through Google Play or the Apple App Store, please be aware that these platforms operate as independent billing systems separate from TP-Link.

Even if you've changed the email address associated with your Google/Apple account, you must continue using the original email address that was used when you first subscribed to Tapo Care when logging into the Tapo app.

If you can no longer access your previous email account, we recommend canceling the subscription renewal through Apple/Google first, then subscribing via the Tapo web portal.

Can I Cancel the Tapo Care Free Trial?

Yes, you can cancel the free trial at any time during the trial period. However, once the trial is canceled, it cannot be restarted.
