Stripe does offer a free transfer of card data and is simple and quick to get it started in motion.
Please note this process can range anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks in length depending on how many requests the companies currently have in queue. Because of this, we do recommend to have this done ASAP to ensure you don't wait long for the cards to fully transfer. Furthermore, we do recommend signing up any and all new contacts in Spark during the transfer process to avoid losing their data.
BEFORE CONTINUING : Please be sure to get your payment gateway set-up/started before starting this request so we can properly import the data. Refer to this guide here :
