So, does Paramount+ allow viewers to pause a subscription instead of canceling if they want to stop paying for the streamer for a limited time? We’ll explain what you need to know here.
Everything you need to know about pausing Paramount+
Can you pause a Paramount+ subscription?
No, there is no way to pause a Paramount+ subscription that The Streamable has found. This applies to direct subscriptions, as well as those made through third-party platforms like Prime Video or The Roku Channel. There is only one bundle that allows viewers to pause their Paramount+ account: Walmart+.
A Walmart+ subscription lets customers choose between a Peacock Premium or Paramount+ subscription at no additional cost. Viewers can pause a Walmart+ subscription, including Paramount+ and all the other benefits within, for one month. If you opt to pause Walmart+, you will not be able to watch Paramount+ until your subscription resumes.
How to pause Paramount+ through Walmart+
Viewers can pause Walmart+ for one month at a time and can pause it up to three times in a 12-month period.
- Sign in to your account on the Walmart Website or open the Walmart mobile app.
- Go to Account (or tap Account in the bottom menu of the app).
- Select Walmart+ or Subscription and Plans.
- Select Manage Membership or tap the gear/cog icon.
- Choose to pause and follow the prompts to confirm.
Will Paramount+ ever offer a pause option?
It’s highly unlikely that Paramount+ will ever offer a pause subscription option, but it’s not impossible. If enough viewers offer feedback that they want the streamer to begin providing a pause feature, it’s possible that Paramount+ will implement one. But until then, parent company Skydance is only providing viewers the option to cancel.
