# Migrate subscriptions

> Learn how to seamlessly migrate member subscriptions from your previous platform to Spacebring

Transfer your existing members' subscriptions to Spacebring with this step-by-step guide.

## Prerequisites

1. Prepare the individual members' data in a spreadsheet with the following columns:

| **Column name** | **Required** |
| --------------- | ------------ |
| First name      | ✓            |
| Last name       |              |
| Email           | ✓            |
| Phone number    |              |

2. Prepare the same spreadsheets for each company with the company members' data.
3. Have an account open with the [payment gateway](/integrations/payments).

## Migration process from the administrator's side

1. [Configure invoicing](/billing) in Spacebring.
2. [Connect your payment gateway merchant account](/integrations/payments) to Spacebring.
3. [Create membership plans](/billing/plans) you offer.
4. [Mass create companies](/customer-management/create-a-company) that have subscriptions with you.
5. [Mass invite](/customer-management/members#invite-multiple-members) all individual and company members with the help of the preliminary created spreadsheets.
6. [Add customers' billing details](/customer-management/billing-details) to invoices and receipts.
7. [Create subscriptions](/billing/subscriptions) for individual members and companies, and set the start and end dates. You can select one of the pre-created products (resource or plan) for each subscription, or create custom subscriptions.
8. To migrate members with perks without issuing invoices for the first subscription cycle, set ["Issue first invoice" to "Manually"](/billing/subscriptions) when creating subscriptions. This keeps initial invoices in draft, so you can [delete them](/billing/invoicing/delete-an-invoice). Subsequent invoices will be issued automatically based on the subscription start date and the [billing cycle anchor](/billing/subscriptions/billing-cycle-anchor).

## Migration process from the user's side

1. Each user gets an [email invitation](/customer-management/members#invite-a-member) with the `Get started` button and is guided through a welcoming [onboarding process.](/member/onboarding)
2. Spacebring automates invoicing for all users based on their subscriptions.
3. Users receive their first invoice as a push, email, and widget notification and seamlessly [pay for it](/billing/invoicing/pay-for-invoice).
4. Subsequent invoice payments:
   * If you have [Stripe](/integrations/payments/stripe), [WayForPay](/integrations/payments/wayforpay), [plata by mono](/integrations/payments/plata-by-mono), or [Tap](/integrations/payments/tap) as a payment gateway, the payment method users used for the first invoice payment is saved as the default and used for auto-charging in the future. Users get an email and push notification 3 days before and immediately after each automatic payment.
   * If you have another gateway, users receive and pay for the subsequent invoices in the same way as the first one.

## Next steps

1. [Track invoice payments](/billing/invoicing/track-and-manage-invoices) on the **Notifications** and **Invoices** pages.
2. [Integrate Spacebring with your accounting software](/billing/invoicing/accounting) for automatic invoice synchronization.

## Notes

1. Use [our Invoicing guides](/billing/invoicing) to make one-off modifications to invoices.
2. Use our [Subscriptions guides](/billing/subscriptions) to make changes to your customers' subscriptions whenever needed.
3. Manage [Auto-pay](/billing/subscriptions/invoice-auto-charge) property for certain companies and users if they request it.
4. Help users [manage their saved payment methods](/billing/payments/payment-gateway) if needed.
