# Migrating Existing Users

If you’re already monetizing your Toolsets outside of FormWise but want to transition to FormWise’s built-in monetization, you can seamlessly migrate your existing users without forcing them to pay.

#### **How to Migrate Your Users**

1️⃣ **Create Matching Subscription Plans in FormWise**

* Set up **identical pricing tiers** inside your Toolset.

2️⃣ **Generate 100% Discount Codes in Stripe**

* In your **Stripe portal**, create **forever-valid 100% off coupon codes** for each plan.

{% endcontent-ref %}

3️⃣ **Distribute Coupon Codes to Existing Users**

* Send your users a **signup link with their unique discount code**, allowing them to switch without additional charges.

#### **What Happens Next?**

✅ Existing users can **seamlessly switch to FormWise billing** without canceling their old subscription.\
✅ **New users must pay the standard subscription price**—they won’t receive a discount.\
✅ If a migrated user **cancels their plan**, they **lose access** to your gated Toolset and will need to re-subscribe at the full price.

🚨 **Important:** We do NOT recommend creating a **Free Plan** for migrations, as **anyone** could sign up—making it difficult to restrict access. **All public plans are visible unless archived.**
