Hello!

#

Are you moving these Subscriptions to a completely new account, or just disabling WooCommerce from managing the Subs?

#

Just disabling Woocommerce from managing the Subs, and continuing with the existing Stripe account

foggy imp Dec 28, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

Gotcha, and is WooCommerce currently taking an Application fee from these Subs?

steel gyro Dec 28, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

It does not take an application fee from the subs 🙂

foggy imp Dec 28, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

Oh well then all you really need to do is disable the connection with WooCommerce!

#

And you should be good to go

Hmm. For more context, the subscriptions I see in Woocommerce, do not exist in Stripe. The subscriptions in Woocommerce tell Stripe when to process a one-time payment, so technically every charge is it's own payment in Stripe but not a subscription (I have no products or subscriptions in Stripe currently - they're all in Woocommerce. I have no MRR/ARR data in Stripe either b/c it doesn't recognize any of the renewals as recurring revenue)

#

Ahhhh that's correct. I forgot that Woo manages Subs themselves via one-time payments

#

Thanks for clarifying

#

Np!

Hmm so there isn't really much of a migration guide I can provide. You mostly will need to bucket your different Products/Prices that you are transacting through Woo and create Products/Prices within your Stripe account for those. Then you can create Subscriptions for the Customers currently being charged by Woo using those Prices/Products. I'd recommend using a trial period when you create the Subscriptions in order to set the billing anchor to the next time that the Customer should be charged

#

Let me know if further details on any of that info would be helpful

steel gyro Dec 28, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

Got it - yes any further details would be helpful. Do you think this is a manual process or can be done with a script of some sort?

foggy imp Dec 28, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

Yeah you should definitely be able to write a script

#

But you will need to pull aside the Products/Prices and the billing cycle anchor date for each Customer

#

Then feed that into the script

#

Sounds good, well I appreciate your time @foggy imp thank you for the help
