Downgrade your SaasAnt Transactions Online plan.

August 29, 2025

Who this is for

Account owners or billing admins using SaasAnt Transactions Online for QuickBooks who want to move from a higher plan to a lower plan.

What you should know first

  • Downgrades are instant. As soon as you finish the flow, your plan changes.

  • Payments and unused credits are not refunded or credited.

  • The downgrade will be blocked if your current feature configuration is above the limits of the plan you selected.

  • You must delete extra features to fit the new plan. Disabling is not supported for this flow.

  • Import capacity is credit based. After the downgrade, your monthly credit allowance updates to the new plan immediately.

Before you start

  1. Confirm you have the right permission
    You must be the account owner or billing admin.

  2. Check what may need deleting

    • Rules

    • Automations

    • Backups

    • Companies if you are moving from a multi-company plan to a single-company plan

  3. Make a quick plan
    Decide which rules, automations, backups, or companies you can remove if needed.

Step by step: make the change

  1. Sign in to SaasAnt Transactions Online.

  2. Go to Billing. Your current subscription is shown here.

  3. Click Upgrade to open the plan chooser. This is the control to change plans up or down.

  4. Select the lower plan you want and click Subscribe.

  5. One of two things will happen:

    • If your current setup already fits the new plan limits, the downgrade completes immediately.

    • If anything is over a limit, a popup lists what you must delete. Follow the guidance below, then return to Billing and repeat steps 3 to 4.

If your downgrade is blocked

You will see a message titled Cannot switch to {plan name} with a list of features that exceed the selected plan.

What we check and how to fix it

Category

What triggers a block

How to resolve

Automations

You have more automations than the new plan allows, or the new plan does not include automations

Delete extra automations until you are within the new plan limit

Rules

You have rules but the new plan does not include rules, or you exceed the new plan’s rule limit

Delete rules until you are within the new plan limit

Backups

You have backups or scheduled backups that are not included or exceed the new plan’s allowance

Delete extra backups

Companies

You are moving from multi-company to single-company and have more than one active company

Remove extra companies so that only one remains on the subscription

Users

You have more users than the selected plan allows

Delete users until your total fits the new plan

Notes

  • You must delete features. There is no disable or pause option in this flow.

  • After completing the deletion of the features, return to the Billing section, open the plans page by clicking the Upgrade option, select the preferred plan, and click Subscribe.

Multi-company to single-company moves

If you are on a multi-company subscription and want to move to a single-company plan:

  1. Decide which company you want to keep active on the new plan.

  2. Remove other companies from your subscription so only one remains.

  3. Return to Billing and complete the downgrade steps.
    Billing for removed companies stops after you remove them from the subscription.

How credits work after you downgrade

  • Import capacity is credit based. Your monthly credit allowance updates to match the new plan immediately.

  • If you run out of credits on the new plan during the current cycle, you will need to upgrade your plan to continue higher-volume work.

Examples

  • You choose a plan with fewer or no automations. Delete automations until your count is within the new limit, then try the downgrade again.

  • You are moving to a plan without rules. Delete all rules, then retry.

  • You are moving from multi-company to single-company. Remove extra companies so only one remains, then retry.

What changes after you downgrade

  • Your plan, limits, and included features update right away.

  • Features not included in the new plan are no longer available.

  • Payments and unused credits from the previous plan are not refunded or credited.

FAQ

Can I complete the downgrade if I am still over a limit?
No. You must delete the extra features listed in the popup first.

Do I lose data when I downgrade?
Features you delete are removed. Features that remain but are not included in the new plan will not be accessible while you are on that plan.

Can I upgrade again later?
Yes. Go to Billing, click Upgrade, select the plan you want, and Subscribe.

Do credits block a downgrade?
No. Credits do not block the downgrade. They control how much you can import, export, modify, or delete after the downgrade. Your monthly allowance adjusts to the new plan immediately.

Where do I delete features?
Open the relevant section in the app. For example, open Automations to delete automations, Rules to delete rules, and Backups to delete backups. For multi-company moves, remove extra companies from your subscription before retrying the downgrade.

Troubleshooting checklist

  • I clicked Subscribe and it still says I am over the limit
    Open the sections listed in the popup and delete more features until your counts are within the new plan.

  • I cannot find what is over the limit
    Reopen the downgrade flow. The popup will list each category with your current count and the new plan’s allowance.

  • I finished deleting, but the downgrade still fails
    Refresh the Billing page, then try the downgrade again.
