Love this app! It’s allowed my customers to have subscriptions and easily change or add etc. their customer service is amazing! Fast and super helpful. Replied within seconds when I needed help with something and went above & beyond to even make the buttons look more streamlined and make the customer experience even

Migration support varies by app and category. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App and Transdirect Shipping both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Transdirect Shipping" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
