Common Questions
How do we migrate active subscription contracts (Recharge, Skio, or native Shopify Subscriptions) from one Shopify store to another during consolidation?
Store-to-store subscription moves are decided by the payment vault, not the contract data. Methods vaulted in Shopify Payments need Shopify Payments approval to move between stores, Shop Pay methods cannot be migrated store to store, and methods held by Stripe, Braintree or Authorize.net transfer only if the destination store connects that processor as a secondary gateway (per Skio, September 2026).
What happens to draft orders and open carts sitting in the old Shopify store during a consolidation cutover? Do they need manual handling?
Open carts need no handling and draft orders do. Shopify carts expire within 30 days of creation (per shopify.dev, September 2026), so a retiring store's carts die on their own. Draft orders do not: they hold prices, discounts and invoice links pointing at the old domain, and must be re-created by hand in the surviving store.
