Braintree to Stripe Migration FAQ

- Due to PCI compliance, payment methods cannot be directly transferred. We provide tools to help customers securely update their payment information in Stripe, with minimal friction.
- Can I keep my existing billing dates?
- 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.
- What about custom fields and metadata?
- All custom fields from Braintree are mapped to Stripe's metadata system. We ensure no data is lost during the migration process.
