Will my historical usage data carry over from Zuora?
Yes — we import historical usage and invoice history during onboarding, so your ledger and customer portal have continuity from day one.
Do I need to switch payment processors to move off Zuora?
No. Kribana is processor-neutral — keep Stripe, Razorpay, Adyen or Braintree, or run more than one at once.
What happens if I'm still under contract with Zuora?
Most teams run Kribana in parallel until the existing contract lapses, then cut over billing at the start of a cycle with no gap in invoicing.
How long does switching from Zuora actually take?
Most teams go live in one to two weeks: connect your event stream, mirror your current pricing, validate a billing cycle side-by-side, then cut over.
