A sample migration
Acme has 50 Stripe subscriptions. 15 are active: 10 move now, 5 wait for a later pass. Pick a moment. Every state is derived the same way as a real project. Try the decisions in stage 3; other writes are disabled. Some steps are left out here; your own project shows every step.

Stripe copies the customers and their cards; this stage walks you through it. Products and prices are recreated with new IDs. Both are verified.
Two things happen here. Stripe copies the customers; you start that by hand below. SubPorter recreates the catalog on its own.
