Stop juggling multiple platforms. Consolidate membership management, event hosting, class bookings, and community engagement in one place.

### 💰 Risk-Free Migration Guarantee

We'll cover the costs of any member churn for 3 months during the transition period, protecting your revenue while members adapt to the new platform.

## Which Migration Path Do I Need?

### Path 1: Stripe Standard Migration (3-5 weeks)

**You have your own Stripe account if:**

- You log into [stripe.com](https://www.stripe.com) directly with your own credentials
- You can view all subscriber data and payment history in your Stripe dashboard
- You control payment processing directly

**Member Impact:** Payment methods transfer automatically & silently — members *won't* need to re-enter in payment details or re-opt into membership.

### Path 2: Stripe Connect Migration

**You have platform-managed payments if:**

- Your current platform (e.g., Mindbody, Kajabi, Circle, PushPress, Wodify) processes payments on your behalf
- The platform collects member payments and distributes funds to you
- You don't have direct access to a Stripe dashboard with subscriber data

:::hint{type="info"}
**Member Impact:** Members will need to re-enter their payment information on Sweatpals.
