Steady will now help you avoid unnecessary member cancellations
We’ve streamlined the cancellation process for members. Also: Steady is getting a new managing director and is hiring many new staff members.
Wilst most members are usually very loyal, not all memberships last forever. However, many cancellations can be avoided, for example if there is simply a technical problem that can be solved.
For this reason, we have optimised the cancellation process; if one of your members wants to cancel their membership with your publication, they will now see Steady's new cancellation page. Here, we suggest comparing plan options, giving feedback about your membership program’s offering, or in case of technical issues, there is an option to contact the Steady support team.

We will also display information about the membership, e.g., membership numbers and potential benefits that the member would lose access to if they cancelled.
Your membership numbers are only shown if you as a publisher have set them to public in your settings. Also, information pertaining to exclusive content is only listed if it is part of the corresponding membership plan.
