Hey there @SylvainC64 and welcome to the Community! Thanks for the tag [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074). Sylvain, since Jaycee mentioned the subscription API endpoints being read only, I looked arounbd for other approaches you could consider. Here’s what I found. You could so a orkaround and use HubSpot’s Deals API. I don’t know if this would totally solce it, but instead of directly creating subscriptions, you can create deals in HubSpot to represent subscriptions. This approach allows you to automate the process using HubSpot’s Deals API. If you have an Entertprise tier of HubSpot, you could use Custom Objects to represent subscriptions. This would allow you to store subscription-specific data and link it to contacts or companies. I’d look around the marketplace, too. HubSpot offers integration capabilities that might allow you to maybe find (or create) a custom integration to import subscription data from Chargebee. Have you looked into third-party integration tools like Zapier or Pipedream? One of those might be able to help create workflows to transfer data between Chargebee and HubSpot. Personally, the one I’d probably lean toward is skipping the automation and perform a manual data import. You could export subscription data from Chargebee and import it into HubSpot using CSV files. No matter the solution, I think it’s a good idea to remember that while these methods can help automate parts of the process, you may need to combine approaches or involve some manual steps to fully migrate your subscription data. Given the complexity of this migration, it might be beneficial (for efficiency and long-term success) to consult with a HubSpot solutions partner or freelance integration specialist to help.
