Migrating Payment Data to Stripe
Move your clients' payment data to Stripe, either from another Stripe account or from an external payment processor.
Before getting started, make sure Stripe is connected to Fitune: What Is Stripe and How to Connect It with Fitune
Option 1 — Migrating from Stripe to Stripe
Step 1: Set up your new Stripe account and connect it to Fitune
- Create a new Stripe account at stripe.com.
- Connect it to Fitune from Fitune Admin → Settings → Payment Gateway.
Step 2: Get your Stripe account IDs
You'll need two IDs:
- Destination account ID (new account): find it in Fitune Admin → Settings → Payment gateway.
- Source account ID (old account): the ID from your existing Stripe account where your data lives.
Step 3: Initiate the data transfer
- Log in to your source Stripe account.
- Go to Customers and click Copy Customers.
- In the Copy Method field, select Copy All Customers.
- Enter the ID of your new Stripe account (destination) and click Continue.
- Confirm the transfer.
Now go to your new Stripe account:
- Log in to your destination Stripe account.
- Go to Customers. You'll see a banner indicating the sender wants to share data.
- Click Authorize and Accept.

Got Stripe from a third-party software?
If your current software is connected to Stripe but you don't access it directly, contact your current software's support team. They'll initiate the data transfer and provide the necessary source Stripe account ID.
Option 2 — Migrating from a Third-Party Payment Processor to Stripe
Important notes:
- You must have Stripe connected to Fitune before starting.
- Estimated timelines: software to Stripe transfer: 1–2 weeks. Stripe to your account: ~1 additional week.
Step 1: Connect a new Stripe account to Fitune
Fitune Admin → Settings → Payment Gateway.
Step 2: Contact your current software provider
Request an encrypted credit card export file with client IDs and email addresses.
Step 3: Share key information with your provider
Your provider will need:
- Stripe Migration PGP Key: https://docs.stripe.com/get-started/data-migrations/pan-import#migration-pgp-key
- Your Stripe Account ID: Fitune Admin → Settings → Payment gateway.
