Summary.

If you are already using Chargebee with a Stripe account and need to move all/part of your customer card information from one of your existing Stripe accounts to a new one. All you need to do is get Stripe to migrate the card data between both the Stripe accounts, after which card data can be mapped to the new stripe account on Chargebee so that new payments/transactions are processed through the new account.

  • Migrations are subject to a charge, after the 2nd migrations.
  • Migrations more that 10 records will only be take up by the migration team.
