In this article, we will guide the process of connecting your Stripe account to Shopify to migrate your existing customer payment methods, so they can be used with Shopify's new subscription app.

Guidelines for migrating customer subscription payment methods

Your current customer payment methods need to be stored in a Stripe account.
You will need an export of your customer data from Stripe.
You will need an export of your subscription data from your past platform.
Shopify Payments needs to be connected as your main gateway in Shopify.
Stripe needs to be connected as a secondary gateway in Shopify.

Import customer data into Shopify like names, email & addresses

First, use Shopify's native import feature, which can be found on the customer's page of your Shopify account. In this step, you will use the .csv import tool in Shopify to migrate basic data from your subscription customers to Shopify. This may include information such as their names, email addresses, and shipping addresses. Alternatively, Shopify offers a store importer app that can help with importing customer information.

Export your customer data from Stripe

Once you will be done with imported your customer data and connected your Stripe account to Shopify, you will need to export your customer data from Stripe and send it to a Native subscription support team member to process the import file(.csv file). We need a .csv file that is exported from Stripe, or another system, that includes your Cars IDs, customers' Stripe IDs, and Email addresses.
