Tip: As you set your schedule, keep these points in mind:
• Review your customers’ buying patterns so you go live when volumes are the lowest, minimizing the impact of any potential hiccups.
• Typical migration projects take 1-4 months.

Review your business continuity plan

• Work with your merchant services advisor to evaluate your plan for handling any payment processing glitches that arise.
• Make sure your team has a list of partner contacts who can help resolve issues.
