How to Verify Recurring Payments After Migration

After migrating to Zipper, confirm that subscriptions are billing correctly before your first renewal cycle.

Checklist

1. Check subscription statuses in Zipper

  • Navigate to: Contacts > Customers → filter by active subscriptions
  • Spot-check 10–20 subscribers
  • For each: verify the subscription shows Active, the product name is correct, and the next billing date is what you expect

2. Run a report after the first billing cycle

  • After your first billing cycle completes (usually 1–4 weeks post-launch)
  • Navigate to: Reporting > Reports, choose the Subscriptions category, and pull a subscription/revenue report for the period.

The Reporting page with the Subscriptions category selected

  • Check total revenue against what you expected
  • Look for any failed payments in Payments > Payment CollectorFailed Payments

3. Check for failed payments

  • Navigate to: Payments > Payment CollectorFailed Payments
  • Failed payments after migration usually mean a member’s card didn’t transfer (PAN transfer incomplete or card declined)
  • For each failed payment:
    • Contact the member to update their payment method
    • Or check if the PAN transfer for their card is still pending

4. Verify PAN transfer completion

  • Confirm with your Zipper onboarding rep that all PAN transfers have completed
  • Members whose cards didn’t transfer need to add a new card via their account portal
