Security is our top priority. Here are the best practices for secure migrations and how we protect your data.
API Key Security
Use Restricted Keys
- Always prefer restricted API keys over full access keys
- Grant only the minimum permissions needed
- Regularly audit and rotate your keys
Key Management
- Never share API keys via email or chat
- Store keys securely in your organization
- Delete unused keys promptly
- Monitor key usage in Stripe dashboard
Data Protection
During Migration
- All data transfer uses HTTPS encryption
- We never store your API keys permanently
- Migration data is encrypted at rest
- Access is logged and monitored
After Migration
- We don't retain your Stripe data
- Migration logs are purged after 30 days
- You control all migrated data in your destination account
Account Isolation
Source Account Safety
- We only perform read operations on source accounts
- No data is ever modified or deleted
- Your existing billing continues uninterrupted
- Customers are not affected in any way
Destination Account Control
- You have full control over migrated data
- Delete or modify any migrated objects as needed
- The migration is completely reversible
Compliance Considerations
Data Residency
- Understand where your data will reside after migration
- Different Stripe accounts may be in different regions
- Review your compliance requirements before migrating
Audit Trails
- Full migration logs are available
- Track what data was migrated and when
- Export logs for compliance reporting
Testing Best Practices
Use Test Mode First
- Always test migrations in Stripe test mode
- Verify the process works with your data structure
- Test with a subset of data first
Validation Procedures
- Compare source and destination data
- Verify billing amounts and cycles
- Test subscription management functions
Emergency Procedures
If Something Goes Wrong
- Contact support immediately
- Provide your migration ID and error details
- We can help identify and resolve issues quickly
Rollback Process
- Delete migrated data from the destination account
- This has no impact on your source account
- You can restart the migration anytime
