Export your subscribers

To get started, export your current subscribers in CSV format.

Import subscribers to Ghost

Under the Ghost Admin members settings, select the import option from the settings menu.

Upload your CSV file to Ghost, and map each of the fields contained in your export file to the corresponding fields in Ghost. The email field is required in order to create members in Ghost, while the other fields are optional.

To import paid members with an existing Stripe subscription, you must import their Stripe customer ID.

Once the import has completed, all your subscribers will be migrated to Ghost. There’s nothing else you need to do, members can now log into your site and receive email newsletters.
