Hi, I’m looking for a way to end a square subscription in the future and I hoping to use something similar to stripe’s cancel\_at\_period\_end. It looks theres a canceled\_date field but thats read only after a subscription has already been cancelled. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. ---

There isn’t a way to schedule a cancel date after the subscription has been created. You can call [CancelSubscription](https://developer.squareup.com/reference/square/subscriptions-api/cancel-subscription) Which schedules a `CANCEL` action to cancel an active subscription by setting the `canceled_date` field to the end of the active billing period and changing the subscription status from ACTIVE to CANCELED after this date. 🙂
