Buttondown Documentation
Revue shut down in 2023. We're keeping this online out of posterity.
Welcome to Buttondown! After you've read through our "Getting Started" guide, we're here to help you with your next step: transferring your subscribers from your old email platform to Buttondown.
Export your Revue subscribers by following the procedure in Revue's documentation.
Navigate to the “Subscribers" tab of your Buttondown dashboard to complete the import process.
To learn more, read Importing your subscribers.
Revue uses the word 'issue' to refer to what Buttondown calls 'archives.'
As of 2021, Revue says that downloading past issues (“archives” in Buttondown) "is not available." Try reaching out to them and see if they will export your past issues for you. After they give you access to your data, contact us and we’ll help you with importing your archives.
After you complete the procedures above, Buttondown begins an audit and migration process to make sure everything is in order. After that completes, you should be safe to disable or deactivate your Revue account.
Revue and Buttondown use the same payments processor: Stripe.
Stripe has your subscribers' information:
You bring your subscribers' history to Buttondown when you connect your Stripe account to Buttondown. You will have their payment histories, too.
Your paying subscribers do not need to do anything extra when you switch to Buttondown. Just message us when you've connected your Stripe account. we'll take care of the rest, for free!
