💡 Recommended Before Migration

We recommend installing Recurpay and completing the initial setup before the migration begins.

This ensures that:

  • New subscriptions created during the migration window are routed correctly

  • There is no overlap between old and new subscription systems

  • Your storefront is fully ready when subscriptions are activated on Recurpay

Our migration team will guide you on the ideal timing so everything transitions smoothly.


Step 3: Grant Access to Recurpay

Once you submit the migration request, our team will reach out to request access to your store or subscription platform.

  • We will send you a Shopify collaborator access request

  • Please accept the request promptly so we can proceed

If you’re migrating from a different subscription platform, please reach out to our migration team or contact support, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.


Step 4: Migration & Review (24–48 Hours)

Once access is granted, our team will begin the migration.
The migration is typically completed within 24–48 hours.

What happens during this step:

  • Existing subscriptions are migrated to Recurpay in a paused state

  • This ensures no unintended charges are triggered

  • You will be notified once the migration is complete

Your action required:

  • Review the migrated subscriptions in Recurpay

  • Confirm that everything looks correct

  • Remain actively available during the 24–48 hour window for any clarifications

Important

Staying available during the migration window helps us complete the process smoothly and on time. Our team will always keep you informed and will only reach out if clarification is required.


Final Step: Go Live

Once you confirm everything looks good:

  1. Uninstall the old subscription app

  2. Our team will activate the subscriptions in Recurpay

  3. Your store goes live on Recurpay 🎉
