Stripe Billing Mapping for Pre-Existing Membership Customers

Map your current Stripe customers' existing subscriptions to their user account in your community when using Honeycommb's membership feature.

We built out a Stripe Customer Mapping tool for partners who have pre-existing membership plans with a separate platform processing payments through Stripe. If your goal is to transition and carry over customers' payment methods through their customer account in your community, then you've come to the right place! Here, users will be able to check out with their existing payment method without having to re-enter their card details at check out.
