Why It Matters

A billing migration is as much an operational challenge as a technical one, and getting your application ready is only half the effort. This workshop helps teams understand and execute the data mapping, operational workstreams, change management, contingency strategies, and overall roadmap of a Stripe Billing migration in order to set your team up for success.

The Program

Two-Part Workshop Structure

Workshop 01

System Readiness & Legacy Audit

What We Cover

  • Document your current billing provider and how it's integrated across your stack
  • Inventory your subscriber base: distinct cohorts, volume, subscription states, billing cadences, and active payment methods
  • Examine token storage and the current state of any payment method portability discussions with your provider
  • Trace downstream dependencies: CRM, ERP, support tooling, entitlement systems, revenue recognition
  • Identify pre-migration cleanup or technical gaps that must be resolved before go-live

Workshop 02

Migration Planning & Operational Readiness

What We Cover

  • Define subscriber cohort strategy and phasing sequence, including which customers move when and why
  • Plan the token migration process: coordinating with your legacy provider and Stripe's migration team to move stored payment methods
  • Map legacy billing constructs to their Stripe equivalents and flag anything that requires manual handling during the transition
  • Design rollback checkpoints and contingency plans for each migration phase
  • Build the customer communication plan: what to say, when, and through which channels
  • Define ownership across internal teams, Monstarlab, and Stripe for each stage of the migration
