Hi all,

From what I've read here https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/StoreKitGuide/Chapters/Subscriptions.html, subscription updates seem to behave like webhooks. When a user cancels their subscription I would assume a POST is made to the server you specify in iTunes Connect with the information from the tables in the link above.

I was wondering if there was a way for me to cancel a user's subscription from my backend service? I have been looking through the documentation and cannot find anything that says I can or API documentation explaining how to edit a user's subscription. I'm very new to Apple-related development so apologies in advance if any of this didn't make sense!

Thanks for any help!

Makes perfect sense to want to know that, as I know Google offers this ability. However, as a developer you have no ability to alter a users subscription or purchase in any way in the Apple world. Only Apple Support can do this if they're contacted by a user. That's the only case where you'd get a CANCEL webhook notification.
