PushEngage understands your changing business needs. Our system has the flexibility to allocate those needs. Pausing and Archiving your PushEngage subscription is available if you want to stop using it temporarily but not lose the database.

### Before You Start

Here are a few things to understand before you begin:

- **Pausing** – This will keep your account on hold for a month. If your renewal is pending next month, it will get postponed for another month as the pause duration allowed is 30 days.
- Once the pause period completes, you can access the PushEngage campaigns. You can unpause your subscription anytime if you need to resume your campaigns before the pause period ends.
- **Archiving** – This will keep your account inactive and change your subscription to $29/year. This will help you keep your account active, subscribers collection, and campaigns in a pause state.

### **Pause Your Subscription**

You may want to stop using PushEngage for a short period but don’t want to lose any time remaining in your subscription period. Pausing your account is the perfect option.

To pause your PushEngage account, follow these steps:

1\. Please navigate to Profile Icon on the top right corner and click on **Billing**
