Migration ยท From Chargebee

Migrate from Chargebee without losing customers.

Moving off Chargebee is a customer-continuity project, not a data dump. Azotte mirrors your plans, subscriptions, and lifecycle state first, runs alongside Chargebee, then cuts over cohort by cohort. Billing history stays intact.

Start with what must stay true.

A Chargebee migration must protect access, renewal timing, cancellation state, coupon and trial logic, payment references, and storefront behavior. Azotte uses those invariants to shape the import and cutover order, so customers keep their subscription exactly as it was.

Mirror first. Cut over second.

Migration Steps

Import, map, validate, then move.

Pull Chargebee customers, plans, subscriptions, invoices, and discounts through the API. Mirror them in Azotte while Chargebee keeps billing, then move customers in controlled cohorts.

  • Import customer, subscription, access, and payment data
  • Match old IDs to Azotte customer and subscription records
  • Check subscription status before switching storefronts or providers
  • Move by brand, market, storefront, or channel when needed

Cohort Sequencing

Move by risk, not all at once.

A big-bang switch breaks subscriptions at the worst moment, usually at renewal. Group customers by risk and validate each cohort before the next one moves.

  • Internal and free users first
  • Monthly card subscribers with simple plans
  • Annual subscribers far from renewal
  • Customers with active coupons or trials
  • Failed-payment and recovery cases on a dedicated path
  • High-value and enterprise accounts last

Migration Questions

Migrating from Chargebee, answered plainly.

How long does a Chargebee migration take?

It depends on subscription complexity and how many channels you run. A mirror-first migration lets you start in parallel within weeks, then move customers in cohorts at their own pace rather than one risky cutover.

Will customers lose access during a Chargebee migration?

No, when entitlement migration is separated from payment migration. Azotte becomes the access and lifecycle source of truth first, while Chargebee keeps billing, so access never depends on the payment cutover being finished.

What Chargebee data moves to Azotte?

Customers, plans and add-ons, subscriptions and status, renewal and billing-cycle anchors, coupons and discounts, and the IDs that map back to Chargebee. Invoice and revenue history stays preserved for finance and reconciliation.

Do I have to stop using Chargebee immediately?

No. Azotte runs alongside Chargebee. New subscriptions can start on Azotte while existing ones migrate cohort by cohort. Billing execution can stay on Chargebee until you choose to move it.

What happens to customers in a failed-payment state during migration?

They get a dedicated path: preserved grace periods, no duplicate dunning, and a clean handoff into Azotte recovery once their cohort moves. Mid-recovery customers are never pushed through a standard import.

Leave Chargebee intact. Move subscription control to Azotte.

Preserve billing history. Carry IDs forward. Move in controlled cohorts.
