Move thoughtfully.
Keep your audience first.

List paid subscriptions, referral rewards, automations, existing pages and anything else you rely on. Decide how each will work after the move. Do not treat a contact transfer as a replacement for those systems.

MailCheap’s guide directs you to beehiiv Settings → Export data → Export subscribers (full version). Save the original file securely before editing anything. Check the official instructions if your interface differs.

With a MailCheap plan, upload the CSV through Contacts → Import. Inspect field mappings and status counts. Only import people who consented. Investigate missing records rather than trying to bypass suppressions.

Follow MailCheap’s domain setup instructions, then verify your sender details and required postal address. Check signup forms and links. Keep DNS changes scoped to the records your new provider requires.

Send a test, open it on desktop and mobile, and check every important link. Test signup and unsubscribe flows. Allow time for MailCheap’s staged sending and warm-up process before a time-sensitive launch.

Confirm your new workflow works before ending the old subscription. Separately handle archives, publication URLs and any paid memberships. Monitor your first campaigns and keep your exports secure.
