We're moving from an old custom-written PHP application to Drupal + Membership Suite.
The old application used Paypal Payments Standard to subscribe users.
The new site will use Membership Suite + Paypal Pro Recurring.
What is the best way to migrate the existing Paypal Payments Standard subscriptions into the new Membership Suite database, so those users may manage their account in the new site?
You can use the User Import module to import a CSV list of users into Drupal. Membership Suite has integration for it so you can automatically have them be granted a plan, and has support for expiration fields.There isn't any way to 'move' the subscriptions themselves from PayPal WPS, since it doesn't allow this. They would have to cancel and then sign up again with WPP. Or you can just keep them active and then whenever someone cancels, manually cancel their membership. The only other option would be to write a custom handler for the IPNs to wherever they are going that would do it automatically.It depends on how many subscribers you have if that would be worth the effort or not.Hope that helps!Sincerely,Leighton Whiting
