You can check what happens to your saved rules and Shopify checkout when you cancel BlockCart or billing stops. Your rules stay in BlockCart, and active rules can return to Shopify when you subscribe again.
From active to cancelled to resubscribed
| Stage | Saved rules in BlockCart | What happens in Shopify checkout | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Active | Your checkout and payment rules are saved. | Rules in Test or Live can run through Shopify's checkout validations and payment customizations. | | Cancelled or billing stops | Your rules stay saved. You can open BlockCart to view them, but you need an active subscription to create, import, or save rules. | The next time you open BlockCart, it checks your subscription and removes its synced validations and payment customizations from Shopify. Those rules stop affecting checkout. | | Resubscribed | Your saved rules are still there. | When Shopify returns you to BlockCart after you approve a new subscription, BlockCart tries to recreate the Shopify validations and payment customizations for rules in Test or Live. Rules that are Off stay Off. |
Restoration can fail for an individual rule. After resubscribing, check your rules to confirm they are running. If a rule shows a problem, see Understand sync status and retry a failed sync.
Before you cancel
In the Rules section on the BlockCart home page, select Export rules and keep the downloaded file. It includes your saved checkout and payment rules. You can export while you can still open the app, even if your subscription is no longer active.
Cancelling a subscription is different from uninstalling BlockCart. Uninstalling deletes your saved rules. See Uninstall BlockCart and what happens to your data before removing the app.
