We Migrate Your WHMCS
to PayRequest
Don't waste weeks migrating yourself. Our team handles your entire WHMCS migration — customers, invoices, subscriptions, domains — so you can focus on your business. Zero downtime, zero data loss.
How Our Managed Migration Works
You hand us the keys, we do the heavy lifting. Most migrations complete within 5 business days.
Migration Intake
Fill out the migration request form. Tell us about your WHMCS setup — how many customers, products, active subscriptions, and which payment gateways you use.
Data Export & Analysis
We securely export your WHMCS data or you provide a database export. Our team analyzes your setup, maps custom fields, and creates a migration plan.
Migration & Mapping
We import everything into PayRequest: customers, invoices, products, subscriptions, payment history. Custom fields and product configurations are carefully mapped.
Review & Go Live
We walk you through your new PayRequest setup. You verify the data, connect your payment provider, and we help you notify customers about their new portal.

Why Managed Migration?
Self-service migration sounds easy until you're 3 weeks in, debugging field mappings at midnight.
WHMCS Data Is Complex
WHMCS stores data across 100+ tables with custom fields, addon relationships, and configurable options. We know exactly how to map this to PayRequest's clean structure.
Domain IDs Need Manual Lookup
Domain registrations in WHMCS don't store registrar-specific IDs consistently. We handle the OpenProvider ID mapping so your domains continue renewing seamlessly.
Payment Methods Need Care
Migrating Stripe or Mollie customer tokens requires careful handling to avoid re-billing customers or losing mandates. We've done this dozens of times.
Custom Fields Vary Per Install
Every WHMCS installation has unique custom fields, product configurations, and addon setups. Cookie-cutter import tools miss these — we don't.
Zero Risk For You
If anything goes wrong, we fix it. No finger-pointing, no 'works on my end'. Your migration specialist owns the outcome end-to-end.
It's Free
Managed migration is included with every PayRequest plan. No extra charge, no hidden fees. We want you to succeed from day one.

Migration FAQ
How long does a managed migration take?
Most migrations complete within 3-5 business days after we receive your data. Larger installations (500+ customers) may take up to 7 business days.
Is there any downtime during migration?
No. We migrate your data in parallel while your WHMCS stays active. You only switch over when everything is verified and ready. Your customers experience zero interruption.
Will my customers need to re-enter payment details?
In most cases, no. If you use Stripe or Mollie, we can transfer customer tokens and mandates. For other gateways, customers may need to set up a new payment method via a simple one-click flow.
What about my domain registrations?
We map your domain registrations to PayRequest's OpenProvider integration. Renewal dates, DNS settings, and customer linkage are all preserved. We manually verify each domain ID with the registrar.
Can I keep using my existing cPanel/Plesk provisioning?
PayRequest focuses on billing, invoicing, and customer management — not server provisioning. You can continue using cPanel/Plesk directly for hosting management while PayRequest handles all billing.
What if something goes wrong?
Your dedicated migration specialist owns the outcome. If any data is incorrect or missing, we fix it immediately. Your original WHMCS data remains untouched throughout the process.
Is managed migration really free?
Yes, 100% free with any PayRequest plan. We believe a smooth migration is the foundation of a great relationship. No hidden fees, no surprises.
What data format do you need from WHMCS?
Ideally a MySQL database dump, but we also accept CSV exports of customers, invoices, and products. We'll guide you through the export process step by step.
