Description

When a user wishes to close their WP.com account, they can do so if they have no active purchases. If they do have active purchases, they are directed to contact support.

We could instead do what WP.com does when users on the web wish to close their account: Redirect them to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases so they can cancel their purchases on their own.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the iOS account-closure flow and the branch that handles users with active purchases, then compare its behavior with the requested WordPress.com purchases URL. Done means users with purchases can reach that URL to cancel them before closing their account, with the existing no-purchases path preserved.
