Can I move my Shopify subscribers to a new store?

⚡ Short answer

You can move the subscribers, but not their saved cards. Shop Pay billing details stay with Shopify, so each subscriber has to add their card once on the new store.

2 min readUpdated 21 Oct 2026Not legal advice
STEP 1

Why the cards cannot move

Shop Pay stores billing details as tokens that only work inside Shopify Payments. Shopify does not transfer them to other platforms.

STEP 2

How to keep most subscribers

Plan the move around renewal dates, so no one misses an order.
Email each subscriber a branded "re-join in one tap" link before their next renewal.
Offer a small thank-you for re-joining, like free delivery on the next order.
Follow up twice, then call your best customers.

STEP 3

On the new store
