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
Course content — Videos, PDFs, quizzes, and written lessons can be migrated to WithMe's course builder. The DFY migration team handles the heavy lifting. See Course Migration Services — What's Included, Queue & Supported Platforms.
Student list — Export your enrolled students from Thinkific (Admin → Students → Export) and import to WithMe. See How to Migrate Contacts from Another Platform to WithMe.
Stripe connection — Connect your existing Stripe account to WithMe. Your payouts and existing subscriptions can be transferred.
🛠️ 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.
⏱️ Migration Timeline
DIY route: Expect 3–7 days for a full course migration depending on content volume.
Done For You route: The DFY team migrates your entire platform in 48 hours — courses, design, and setup. See Done For You Migration — Your 48-Hour Fast Track to Going Live.
