Migrating from Beacons to WithMe — What to Expect

A guide for Beacons creators moving to WithMe — what transfers, what needs rebuilding, and how to make the switch without losing revenue or your audience.

Migrating from Beacons to WithMe

Beacons started as a link-in-bio tool and has added digital products and email collection — but it's still primarily a top-of-funnel tool, not a full creator business platform. WithMe replaces Beacons entirely and adds everything beyond it: courses, communities, coaching bookings, email automations, analytics, and a full storefront — all with 0% commission.

Here's what the move looks like. 👇


✅ What Comes With You

  • Digital products — PDFs, downloads, and templates can be re-uploaded directly into WithMe's store. Most creators do this in under an hour.

  • Email list — Export your subscriber list from Beacons and import it into WithMe. See How to Migrate Contacts from Another Platform to WithMe.

  • Stripe connection — Your existing Stripe account connects to WithMe in a few clicks. No new payment setup needed.


🛠️ What Needs Manual Setup

  • Hub & storefront design — Your Beacons page layout doesn't transfer. You'll set up your WithMe storefront with your branding, colours, and products — typically 30–60 minutes.

  • Link-in-bio redirect — Update your TikTok, Instagram, and other bio links to point to your new WithMe hub URL (or custom domain).

  • Email automations — Any Beacons email sequences won't migrate. Rebuild them in WithMe's email flow builder, which offers more automation options.

  • Promo codes — Recreate any active discount codes in WithMe's promo code engine.


🚀 What You're Gaining

WithMe gives you things Beacons doesn't have at all:

  • Full course builder with video hosting

  • Paid community with moderation tools

  • Coaching bookings and calendar integration

  • Membership tiers with recurring billing

  • Analytics dashboard (views, revenue, member growth)
