Moving to Ciclex
What the move involves, including the parts that are still manual.
- Step 1
Connect a Stripe account in your name
During setup you open a Standard Stripe account in your name and finish it on Stripe’s own pages. From then on it is yours, whichever platform you used before.
- Step 2
We set up your plans and members with you
Send us your member list and current prices. There is no import button yet, so we do it by hand and check it with you before anyone is charged.
- Step 3
Members enter their card once
Cards held by your old platform can sometimes be moved to your Stripe account on request. Where they cannot, each member enters their card once.
