This policy applies when a merchant or their partner agency format and validate all migration data, include:
- Data retrieval from legacy platform
- Recharge migration CSV formatting
- Data validation in Bulk Actions
Recharge owns import after validation
Conditions:
- Pre-import data issues / data fixes will be owned by the external team
- Data validation troubleshooting supported by Recharge
- Recharge will advise and support but does not own issues or re-work related to the data provided
- Recharge does not audit formatting scripts or advise directly on custom coding against legacy data structures
- Files will be uploaded and fully validated in Bulk Actions prior to import. If the file is not ready or there are pre-import validation errors on migration day, the migration may be subject to rescheduling.
If an external team begins formatting under this policy and then changes to a new policy, the formatting effort will start over and the project timeline will be adjusted based on the new policy.
