Transfer Stripe subscriptions to DodoPayments

[paper summit]

Is it possible to move existing Stripe subscriptions to DodoPayments? If so, how? If not, is the only way asking the user to re-subscribe on Dodo?

Thank you!

Yes, it is possible to move existing Stripe subscriptions to DodoPayments. DodoPayments provides a migration tool that allows you to migrate data, including subscriptions, from Stripe to DodoPayments. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Install the Migration Tool: First, you need to install the DodoPayments migration tool using npm:

   npm install -g dodo-migrate
   

   Ensure you have Node.js version 18 or higher installed on your computer.

2. Run the Migration Command for Stripe: Use the following command to initiate the migration process from Stripe:

   dodo-migrate stripe
   

   This command will guide you through the process step-by-step.

3. Required Information: During the migration, you will need:

   • Your Stripe API key.
   • Your DodoPayments API key.
   • Decide whether to run the migration in test mode (recommended) or live mode.
   • Specify which DodoPayments brand you want to migrate to.

4. Advanced Usage: If you prefer not to use the interactive prompts, you can provide all necessary details upfront using command line options:

   dodo-migrate stripe \
     --provider-api-key=sk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
     --dodo-api-key=dp_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
     --mode=test_mode \
     --dodo-brand-id=brand_XXXXXX \
     --migrate-types=products,coupons
   

5. Testing and Going Live: It is recommended to first test the migration in a test environment before going live to ensure everything is transferred correctly without data loss.

This migration tool is designed to ensure a smooth transition without losing any data, including products, customers, and discount codes【4:0†source】.

If you prefer not to use the migration tool or encounter issues, the alternative would be to ask users to re-subscribe directly on DodoPayments.

--migrate-types=products,coupons - this sounds like subscriptions are not included?

[crude crescent]

I think transferring subscriptions aren’t allowed legal wise

but not 100% sure about it

Hi Chris, will discuss about it with the team and get back to you...

Yes. dodo-migrate will not move active subscriptions. It will move your products, cupons, users, etc... But not active subscriptions.
