Transfer subscriptions between your account and your organization

Updated on November 22nd, 2022

If you’d like to transfer a subscription from your personal account to an organization you belong to (or vice versa), this guide will walk you through every step.

Note

When you transfer a subscription between your personal account and your organization, it’s treated like a brand-new subscription starting over at day one with the new owner. This means at the end of the transfer process, you will set up billing under the new owner. Contact Flywheel’s billing team if you have questions.


How to transfer a subscription from a personal account to an organization

  1. Log into Flywheel, then navigate to the billing page from your user dropdown in the top right corner.
  2. Click on the Details button of the subscription that you are wanting to transfer. Remember, transferring a subscription means transferring all sites that are a part of that subscription.

    Note

    You can only transfer subscriptions you own. You may collaborate on sites under another user’s subscription, but it will not be available for transfer.
  3. Hover over the gear icon and click Transfer subscription.
  4. A Billing transfer window will pop up, choose Me or my organization, then click Go to Checkout.
  5. From the Owner dropdown menu, select the organization you’d like to transfer ownership to. Then, complete the checkout process.

    Note

    As the new subscription is created, the prior subscription owned by your personal account is automatically canceled. You will be charged the full amount of the new subscription and refunded the differential amount of the previous subscription. This does not apply if your account is past due or in a grace period. It also does not apply if you have an annual plan that is in the last two months or 60 days of its subscription.
