Update pricing for existing subscribers

Updating pricing for bulk subscribers in Stripe isn’t as simple as editing a field. Stripe doesn’t allow direct price changes—you must migrate each subscription to a new plan.

We use our custom Stripe Subscription Migrator to safely handle this for you.

Why Bulk Price Updates Are Complex

Even though it seems quick, there are critical steps to ensure a smooth migration:

  • Each subscriber must be individually reassigned to a new plan.
  • Billing cycles stay intact so customers aren’t charged early or lose time they’ve paid for.
  • Proration is disabled to prevent unexpected mid-cycle charges.
  • Trialing, paused, or past_due subscriptions need special handling.
  • Errors are logged and recovered without affecting other accounts.
  • (Optional) Leaky Paywall or site access stays in sync with Stripe updates.

Doing this manually would take hours—or even days—and a single mistake could trigger incorrect billing for everyone.

Why There’s a Fee

Even with automation, each migration requires:

  • Multiple secure API calls per subscription
  • Careful handling of different subscription states
  • Test batches to verify accuracy
  • Logging, monitoring, and error recovery

This ensures your customers are migrated without billing issues or service disruptions.

Pricing

We charge $0.50 per account update for bulk migrations.

This covers the time, oversight, and safeguards needed to protect your subscribers and revenue.
