Import & migrate members

Bring your existing member list and their points balance with you, without duplicating anyone.

4 min read

Why this matters

Migrated balances arrive as migration points: visible in each member's history, never counted as a purchase for tier promotion, and never triggering welcome rewards you already gave. That is what stops an import from corrupting your tiers on day one.

What you'll need

  • A CSV or Excel export of your current members
  • A decision on whether imported members get the welcome reward
  • 10 minutes

Steps

1

Export your current list

Name, email, phone, date of birth, join date, gender, address, tier, membership status, marketing consent and reward points are all supported fields.

2

Decide on the welcome reward

Choose per import whether imported members get the joining bonus - most stores turn it off, since these aren't new signups.

3

Upload and map fields

Match your file's columns to Mylo's fields.

4

Let duplicate matching run

Existing members, matched by email or phone, are updated instead of creating a second record.

5

Confirm migration points are labeled correctly

Imported balances show as migration points in a member's history - never counted as a purchase for tier promotion.

Tip

Run a small test batch of 10-20 members first to confirm the field mapping before importing your full list.
