Decide who moves now
Most subscriptions move on their own. A few need a person, and each one says why.
6 flagged subscriptions need your decision before anything is copied.
Why some subscriptions wait. Each subscription moves at its renewal: the old one ends, the new one starts the same moment. Your app has to bill through the destination account before that first renewal lands, so SubPorter keeps a 48-hour buffer for the switch. Anything renewing sooner stays in the source account for one more cycle and moves in a second pass from this same room, once your app is live on the destination account.
The other flags. Things Stripe’s customer copy does not carry over (coupons, missing cards) or shapes SubPorter will not rebuild on its own (already canceling, two records on one email). Nothing is copied until every flag has a decision.
Renews inside the 48-hour buffer
1 subscriptionThis subscription renews before the buffer ends. There is no time to copy the customer, verify the destination account, and switch your app before Stripe charges the next period.

Already set to cancel

No saved payment method
1 subscriptionStripe copies saved cards along with the customer. This customer has none, so the first renewal in the destination account would fail.

Has a discount or coupon
1 subscriptionSchedules in the destination account are created at the list price. The coupon does not carry over.

Two customer records share one email
2 subscriptionsStripe copies customers by ID, but when IDs change SubPorter matches by email. Two records with the same email cannot be told apart, and moving both could bill one person twice.
