PayPal to Stripe Migration
Migrate from PayPal to Stripe for better checkout conversion, lower fees, and superior subscription billing. We handle the full migration — customer data, subscription transfer, and parallel running — with zero downtime.
Better Checkout Conversion
Stripe's embedded checkout keeps customers on your site. PayPal's redirect flow loses customers at the handoff — Stripe typically converts 5–15% better.
Lower UK Processing Fees
Stripe charges 1.5% + 20p for UK cards vs PayPal's 2.9% + 30p. On £100k annual volume, that's roughly £1,200/year saved — and the gap widens with volume.
Superior Subscription Billing
Stripe Billing offers tiered pricing, usage-based billing, proration, dunning, and a customer portal. PayPal subscriptions are basic by comparison.
Our Migration Process
Audit & Plan
We map your PayPal integration — subscription plans, saved payment methods, webhook flows, and edge cases — then design the Stripe equivalent.
Build & Test
Stripe integration built in test mode alongside your live PayPal setup. Payment flows, webhooks, and edge cases tested thoroughly.
Customer Migration
Customer records migrated to Stripe. For subscriptions, we recreate plans in Stripe Billing and transition customers on their next billing cycle.
Cutover & Verify
Parallel running during transition — new payments go to Stripe, existing PayPal subscriptions migrate on renewal. Zero downtime, full verification.

PayPal to Stripe Migration FAQ
Can you migrate PayPal subscriptions to Stripe?+
Yes — we recreate subscription plans in Stripe Billing and migrate active subscriptions. Customers are transitioned on their next billing cycle without re-entering payment details where possible.
Will customers need to re-enter card details?+
For PayPal subscriptions, customers authorize the new Stripe billing agreement on their next invoice — usually via a seamless re-authorisation flow. For saved cards, we coordinate a PAN transfer where possible.
Can I keep PayPal as a payment option?+
Yes — Stripe supports PayPal as a payment method alongside cards. Many businesses migrate their primary processing to Stripe while keeping PayPal as a checkout option for customers who prefer it.
How long does a PayPal to Stripe migration take?+
Simple integrations: 2–4 weeks. Complex setups with subscriptions and marketplace features: 4–8 weeks. Enterprise migrations: 8+ weeks. We run both systems in parallel so there's no downtime.
