Substack WordPress

Substack to WordPress Migration

Substack takes 10% of your paid revenue forever and owns your reader relationship. We move the archive, subscribers and paid tiers to a WordPress setup where both stay entirely yours.

From $249 3-7 days

What Substack lets you take

  • Full post archive (HTML export)
  • Free and paid subscriber lists (CSV)
  • Your Stripe account with active subscriptions
  • Publication custom domain (if configured)

What we rebuild by hand

  • Site design: the export is bare HTML, so the reading experience is rebuilt
  • Paid tier gating (rebuilt with a membership plugin tied to your existing Stripe)
  • Comments and community threads (importable partially)
  • Newsletter sending itself (connected to an ESP or a WP newsletter plugin)
  • Substack-network discovery and recommendations

Frequently asked questions

Do my paid subscribers have to re-enter card details?

No. Substack bills through your own Stripe account. We connect the WordPress membership plugin to the same Stripe subscriptions, so billing continues uninterrupted.

Can I still send the newsletter from WordPress?

Yes. Posts can go out as email automatically via a plugin like Newsletter or MailPoet, or through an ESP. Deliverability with a proper SMTP setup matches Substack.

Will my posts keep their Google rankings?

If you were on a custom domain, yes: we keep slugs and add 301s where structure changes. If you were on yourname.substack.com, rankings cannot transfer to a new domain, but your subscribers, who are the real asset, move with you.

Is losing the Substack network a big deal?

Recommendations drive early growth for some publications. If a large share of new subscribers comes from the network, we can keep a minimal Substack presence that funnels readers to your owned site.
