Migrate from Bold

Learn how to migrate your subscriptions from Bold to Loop effortlessly with expert assistance and no disruption to your customers.

Updated over a week ago

If you’re currently using Bold and want to move to Loop, our migration team can help you transfer all your subscriptions smoothly with zero disruption to your customers.



Prerequisites

Before proceeding with a subscription import process, we need to make sure these things are in place.

  • Loop widget must be live on the storefront and account page should point to Loop customer portal (guide) (read more)

  • Bold API token must be created with write access to all scopes and shared with loop team (guide)

  • Customer portal permissions must be set to disabled prior to the migration (guide)

  • Notifications must be set to disabled prior to the migration (guide)
    ​

Since Bold is built on native subscription APIs of Shopify, there is no need for any payment migration in this case.


​Please ensure that the API token created for the Loop team has write access to the subscription object, otherwise step (4) will fail.

White glove migration walkthrough

This section details the overall sequence of steps taken by the Loop team on the scheduled migration date.

  1. Loop team will take an export from Bold APIs (reference) using the shared tokens from earlier.
    ​

  2. Once the data has been exported from the APIs, Loop team will convert it into the standard migration data format of Loop.
    ​

  3. Once the data has been fetched from Bold, the migration expert will begin the import at the scheduled time.
    ​

  4. Post subscription migration completion, Loop team will go proceed with actioning a bulk cancellation action on Bold through their APIs (reference)
    ​

  5. A detailed migration report (reference) will be shared with the merchant, along with a 1:1 mapping between the contracts in both platforms for easy review.
    ​

  6. Merchant is then advised to do an overall review by spot checking a few contracts in between and ensuring data parity.
    ​

  7. Loop team will wait to hear back on the data review and migration confirmation requested in (6) and any open points on the same.
    ​

Point (4) ensures that no customer is doubly charged due to the subscription contract being active on both platforms.


If there are any custom requirements for the migration like price update, variant swapping etc., the migration team would need to be informed at least a week in advance so that we can have this accommodated on our end.
