@fallen orchid hi! Unfortunately we don't really support importing anything else along those lines, Invoice objects only really get created when actively processing payments inside of Stripe, and for importing from other processors we only really bring in the raw card details.

Technically you can maybe do slightly hacky things like create a bunch of 'historical' invoices and mark them as paid(https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-paid_out_of_band) but I wouldn't recommend it; it's usually better that you manage this in a layer in your own system(look for Invoices in the old processor or copy to your database for older payments, look in Stripe for the new ones) and build an abstraction layer that way.

okay, thanks a lot @old relic
so in terms of Migration having subscriptions , the only things that would come into stripe is -> Customer Payment details.
Subscriptions have to be recreated manually & Invoices have to handled in old system.

Also where could I find the format in which data is to be provided to Stripe for import of customer details? Couldn't find any sample format/file
Thanks again for quick help 🙂

well your current processor is the one who provides the data(you can't touch it yourself since it's PCI-sensitive)
