Migrate to Stripe with zero downtime. No drama, no surprises.
I led the migration of Babbel's recurring billing — hundreds of millions in revenue — from Adyen to Stripe with zero downtime. Your migration gets the same playbook.

The problem
Why billing migrations go wrong
Most teams only ever do one provider migration. The failure modes are predictable — if you've seen them before.
Live subscriptions can't be paused
Your customers renew every hour of every day. A migration that needs a maintenance window is a migration that loses revenue.
Card vaults don't transfer themselves
Re-tokenizing payment methods across providers — cards, PayPal, SEPA mandates — is where most migrations quietly bleed customers.
Nobody can audit what happened
Finance needs to reconcile every cent across two providers. Without verification pipelines, you're migrating on faith.
The playbook
How a zero-downtime migration actually runs
01
Audit & inventory
Every subscription, payment method, billing cycle, and edge case in your current provider — mapped before anything moves.
02
Architecture & dry runs
Stripe Billing flows designed for your model, idempotent migration jobs, and full rehearsals against production data copies.
03
Staged cutover
Cohort-by-cohort migration with verification at every step, rollback paths ready, and customers keeping their billing day and auth.
04
Reconciliation & handoff
Full audit trail proving every cent landed where it should, plus documentation and monitoring your team owns going forward.

Case studyNot sure a migration is what you need? The billing health audit answers that first — five business days, fixed fee — and is credited toward the migration if it is.
