When moving to a new Stripe account, please follow this article to ensure a smooth transition.

Kolleno uses the Stripe customer ID mapping file to correctly reconcile customers once your new Stripe account is connected.


Key Behaviors During Migration

Customer IDs

Customer IDs remain identical when using Stripe’s native migration tool.
A CSV is not required unless you’ve completed a non-standard migration.


Migrating to a New Stripe Account Using an Existing Kolleno Account

This process keeps the Kolleno account unchanged while replacing the Stripe account.

  1. Disconnect the Existing Stripe Account
    Completed by the user.

    1. Disconnecting removes all saved payment methods and customer links.
      Payments will be unavailable until the new Stripe account is connected.

  2. Send a customer-to-Stripe mapping CSV to Kolleno (completed by the user)

    Done by User and Kolleno Support.

    1. After disconnecting Stripe, send us a CSV file in the following format.

      Example CSV content:

      customer_identifier,stripe_customer_id 
      REF-001,cus_123456789
      REF-002,cus_987654321
      REF-003,cus_555666777

      Note: Within Kolleno the Stripe account ID and customer ID will be concatenated.

    2. What Kolleno will do with the provided file?

      • Kolleno will update the stripe_customer_id field for matched customers.

      • Existing Stripe payment methods (cards and direct debits) will be marked as deleted.

      • A background task will be queued to refresh payment methods from Stripe.

  3. Connect the New Stripe Account

    1. Completed by the user

      From Kolleno Settings.

      This allows Kolleno to access the new Stripe customers and payment methods.
