The Problem
Stripe Does Not Transfer Subscriptions Between Accounts
When a SaaS changes ownership, all active subscriptions must be recreated in the buyer's Stripe account. There is no native transfer mechanism.
Subscriptions cannot be moved
Active subscriptions exist only in the original Stripe account and cannot be transferred to another.
Billing cycles break
Manual recreation loses billing anchor dates, causing unexpected charges or revenue gaps.
Double billing risk
Without precise coordination, customers can be charged by both the old and new Stripe accounts.
Manual work does not scale
Each subscription requires individual attention. With dozens of customers, this becomes error-prone and time-consuming.
The Solution
MoveMRR Automates Stripe Subscription Transfers
MoveMRR recreates active subscriptions in the buyer's Stripe account while preserving billing cycles and preventing double charges. The transfer is controlled, deterministic, and auditable.
Subscriptions recreated safely
Active subscriptions are created in the new Stripe account with matching parameters.
Billing cycles preserved
Anchor dates and billing periods are maintained exactly as they were.
Double billing prevented
Old subscriptions are deactivated only after new ones are confirmed active.
Controlled, deterministic process
Every step is explicit, logged, and can be reviewed before execution.

How It Works
A guided, auditable migration process designed for safety and clarity.
Account A MoveMRR Account B
Least-privilege Stripe keys | Idempotent execution | Audit log for every action
1
MoveMRR step
Create transfer project
Define what is being migrated: subscriptions, products/prices, and the old-account deactivation strategy.
2
MoveMRR step
Connect Stripe accounts
Create restricted API keys for Account A and Account B with only the permissions required.
3
Stripe step
Run Stripe Customer Data Copy
Use Stripe's Customer Data Copy to move payment methods. Export the mapping file.
This is a manual step in Stripe Dashboard. MoveMRR provides instructions.
4
MoveMRR step
Upload mapping and validate
Upload the Stripe mapping CSV. MoveMRR validates the setup and shows exactly what will be created and disabled.
5
MoveMRR step
Execute migration
MoveMRR recreates subscriptions in the new account, preserves billing anchors, and disables old subscriptions based on your strategy.
Step Details
Step 1: Create transfer project
MoveMRR will
- Create a project with your migration configuration
- Store your deactivation strategy preferences
- Generate a checklist of required steps
You will
- Choose which subscriptions and products to migrate
Safety checks
- No Stripe actions taken at this stage
Step 2: Connect Stripe accounts
MoveMRR will
- Guide you through Stripe key creation
- Validate key permissions before proceeding
- Store keys securely for migration only
You will
- Generate restricted keys in your Stripe dashboards
Safety checks
- Keys are scoped to minimum required permissions
- Keys are not stored after migration completion
Step 3: Run Stripe Customer Data Copy
MoveMRR will
- Provide step-by-step instructions for the Stripe process
- Explain which options to select
You will
- Execute Customer Data Copy in Stripe Dashboard
Safety checks
- Stripe handles payment method transfer directly
- MoveMRR does not access raw card data
Step 4: Upload mapping and validate
MoveMRR will
- Parse and validate the customer mapping file
- Show a preview of all subscription changes
- Highlight any configuration issues
You will
- Review the migration preview before execution
Safety checks
- Stops if mismatched price mappings are detected
- Shows exactly what will happen before any action
Step 5: Execute migration
MoveMRR will
- Create new subscriptions with preserved billing cycle anchors
- Mark each action in the audit log
- Prevent duplicates on retry (idempotent)
You will
- Confirm execution to begin the migration
Safety checks
- Requires explicit confirmation before disabling old subscriptions
- Each action is logged with timestamp and result
Responsibility boundaries
Stripe handles payment method transfer via Customer Data Copy. MoveMRR handles subscription recreation and controlled deactivation.
Result
Active subscriptions exist in Account B with preserved renewal timing, and Account A subscriptions are safely disabled according to your selection.

Manual Migration vs MoveMRR
A comparison between handling Stripe subscription migration yourself and using a purpose-built, auditable migration system.
This comparison focuses on risk, repeatability, and revenue continuity — not convenience.
| Feature / Risk | Manual migration | MoveMRR |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | Hour per dozen customers | Minutes for all customers |
| Operational complexity | Custom scripts, manual coordination | Guided, step-by-step workflow |
| Risk of double-charging | High (manual sequencing required) | None (controlled deactivation flow) |
| Billing cycle preservation | Manual calculation and testing | Automatic preservation of billing anchors |
| Error recovery | Start over | Idempotent re-run (safe retries) |
| Audit trail | Manual logging (if done at all) | Complete, automatic audit log |
| Repeatability | Ad-hoc, one-off process | Deterministic and repeatable |
Manual migrations rely on human sequencing and custom scripts. MoveMRR enforces order, validation, and explicit confirmations by design.
Why not just use Stripe?
Stripe provides Customer Data Copy to transfer customer records and payment methods between accounts. However, active subscriptions cannot be transferred between Stripe accounts.
During a SaaS acquisition, subscriptions must be recreated in the buyer's account and carefully disabled in the seller's account to avoid double-charging or broken billing cycles.
MoveMRR is built specifically to handle this gap: it recreates subscriptions in the new account, preserves billing timing, and executes controlled deactivation with a full audit trail.
Built for Trust
A constrained, auditable migration system designed for Stripe subscription transfers during SaaS acquisitions.
MoveMRR is designed so every action is explicit, reversible where possible, and fully logged.
Restricted API Keys Only
You generate Stripe API keys scoped only to the exact permissions required for the migration. No broad access. No write actions without intent.
No Stored Credentials
API keys are used only during the migration process and are never persisted after completion.
Validation Before Execution
MoveMRR validates customers, subscriptions, price mappings, and billing anchors before any write operation is executed.
Explicit Confirmation for Destructive Actions
Actions such as disabling old subscriptions require explicit user confirmation. Nothing happens implicitly.
Auditable Process
Every action is logged with timestamps and identifiers, providing a complete audit trail for reconciliation and verification.
Failure Handling
- If validation fails: no writes occur
- If execution is interrupted: rerun is safe (idempotent)
- If mapping is incomplete: MoveMRR stops and reports
MoveMRR does not rely on implicit behavior, background automation, or hidden state.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MoveMRR and the migration process.
Can Stripe transfer subscriptions between accounts?
No. Stripe does not offer a built-in way to transfer subscriptions between accounts. Stripe's Customer Data Copy moves customer records and payment methods, but subscriptions must be recreated manually or with a tool like MoveMRR.
Learn about Customer Data Copy → How do I avoid double billing during a SaaS acquisition?
MoveMRR only deactivates old subscriptions after confirming the new ones are active in the destination account. This ensures customers are never charged twice for the same period.
Read our double billing prevention guide → How do I preserve billing anchor dates in a Stripe migration?
MoveMRR reads the original subscription's billing cycle anchor and recreates the subscription in the new account with the same anchor date. This preserves renewal dates and avoids prorated charges.
Understand billing anchors → What permissions are required for restricted Stripe API keys?
MoveMRR guides you through creating keys with only the permissions needed: read access to subscriptions and customers on the source account, and write access to subscriptions on the destination account. No broad or admin-level access is required.
API key setup guide → Does MoveMRR have access to my Stripe account?
MoveMRR only uses restricted API keys that you generate. You control exactly which permissions to grant, and keys are not stored after the migration completes.
Can I run a test migration first?
Yes. MoveMRR includes a validation mode that checks all mappings and shows exactly what will happen without making any changes to either Stripe account.
What if something goes wrong during migration?
Every action is logged with timestamps. MoveMRR is designed to be idempotent, so you can safely re-run the migration without creating duplicates or corrupting data.
