Migrating existing vendors to UNIPaaS

Learn how to migrate your sub-merchants/users.

If you have previously used a different platform, you may want to import your existing users/sub-merchants(vendors) to UNIPaaS to allow a smooth onboarding.

To migrate the users to the UNIPaaS platform, you need to provide us with a CSV file containing the user data. We will then import this file and provide an output file containing the migration results.
