Migrating from Thinkific to WithMe — What to Expect

A step-by-step guide for Thinkific course creators moving to WithMe — what migrates, what needs manual setup, and how to bring your students across without interruption.

Migrating from Thinkific to WithMe

Thinkific is a capable course platform — but the monthly fees climb quickly with plan upgrades, and it's purely a course tool. WithMe adds community, coaching bookings, memberships, a full storefront, and email automations to the same foundation, at a single flat price with 0% commission.

Here's what the migration looks like. 👇


✅ What Comes With You


🛠️ What Needs Manual Setup

  • Course structure — Thinkific's module and lesson structure doesn't export directly. The DFY team recreates it in WithMe's course builder, or you can rebuild it yourself with your downloaded content.

  • Student access — After importing your student list, you'll manually grant access to their purchased courses or use the bulk access tool. See How Do I Manually Give Access or Add a Customer to a Product?

  • Email sequences & pipelines — Thinkific's automated emails don't transfer. Rebuild them in WithMe's email flow builder.

  • Landing pages — Thinkific course landing pages need to be recreated in WithMe. WithMe's landing page tool is built directly into the platform.

  • Custom domain — If you had a custom domain on Thinkific, you'll need to repoint it to WithMe. See Custom Domains on WithMe — Overview & Setup Checklist.
