52 views Updated about 2 months ago

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
