Cancelling Your Current Gateway & Card Migration Options
Existing Commerce7 Clients
If you are an existing Commerce7 Client, then cancelling your gateway is optional.
What happens if you decide to not cancel your current gateway?
The main benefit of not cancelling your gateway is that there will be no need to migrate cards. Commerce7 Payments has the ability to still process those saved cards through your previous gateway.
What happens if you decide to cancel your current gateway and move your cards to Commerce7 Payments? (Recommended)
If you do want to migrate credit cards to Commerce7 Payments (recommended), please send an email to payments@commerce7.com and our team will guide you through the card migration process. We will work with you to facilitate card migration from your current gateway to Commerce7 Payments.
- Why do we recommend migrating your cards to Commerce7 Payments?
- It's more convenient to manage one gateway instead of two (reporting, etc).
- You will no longer be billed by the old gateway once you cancel their service.

Commerce7 Payments & Stripe deposits (US clients only)

Stripe deposits will have fees debited from account after they have been deposited into account.
