Plan your migration

  1. Confirm whether your export comes from MC Professional or MC Trade, and preserve individual-to-organization relationships where applicable.
  2. Inventory contact records, membership types, renewal dates, consent preferences and documents. Confirm what your current vendor can export.
  3. Map fields and relationships with your new provider. Test a sample import and reconcile member, contact and payment totals before the full move.
  4. Review recurring payment permissions, open invoices, accounting mappings, website URLs and email-domain settings. Payment credentials may need a separate transition.
  5. Agree on staff training, member communications and a cutover date. Keep access to historical records and confirm your existing notice and renewal terms.
