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.

- Check total revenue against what you expected
- Look for any failed payments in Payments > Payment Collector → Failed Payments
3. Check for failed payments
- Navigate to: Payments > Payment Collector → Failed 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
Common Issues and Fixes
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Subscription shows “Past Due” | Payment failed — check Payment Collector |
| Subscription missing entirely | Check if it was included in the import |
| Subscription billing wrong amount | Check product price settings |
| Member has duplicate subscriptions | Merge or cancel the duplicate via Contacts > Customers |
Tips
- Run this check proactively in the first billing cycle — don’t wait for members to call.
- If you’re seeing systematic issues across many members, contact your onboarding rep.
