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)
⏱️ Migration Timeline
DIY route: Beacons → WithMe is typically the fastest migration of any platform — most creators are live in 1–2 days.
