- Yes! We preserve exact billing cycles using Stripe's billing_cycle_anchor feature. Your customers will continue to be charged on their existing schedule.
- How are Braintree add-ons handled?
- Braintree add-ons are converted to appropriate Stripe constructs - either as subscription items for metered billing or as coupons for discounts, maintaining the same financial impact.

- All custom fields from Braintree are mapped to Stripe's metadata system. We ensure no data is lost during the migration process.
