How to transition from old Stripe account to a new one?

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.

NOTE:

• This article is for users who need to migrate data from one Stripe gateway to another.
• Migrations involving more than 10 records should only be handled by Chargebee's migration team.
• Migrations involving 10 or fewer records must be performed manually through the Chargebee Billing console, Bulk Operations, or using our APIs.

Prerequisites.

1. Both Stripe accounts need to be active, If you need to sign up for new Stripe account, you can contact Stripe Support, approval of the account is subject to Stripe's terms.
2. Ensure you have configured that Both the Stripe account's in Chargebee, if your plan doesn't permit multiple gateways you will be required to upgrade your plan, if you need to have a second account only during the migration Chargebee support can enable that for you temporarily.
