# Migrate subscriptions to Stripe Billing

Learn about migrating subscriptions from other sources to Stripe.

You can import existing *subscriptions* from third-party billing systems (such as Zuora, Recurly, Chargify, or Chargebee) into Stripe Billing. You can also migrate subscriptions from an in-house billing system or from a different Stripe account.

Use the [Billing migration toolkit](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/import-subscriptions-toolkit.md) to migrate your subscriptions without writing code. Alternatively, you can use the [Stripe APIs](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/import-subscriptions.md) to import subscriptions with manual scripts.

## Before you begin

You must know:

* Your current payment processor.
* Your current subscription provider.
* Your *pricing model*.
