01What a migration request is
A migration request is how you ask a verified partner to handle a switch for you. It bundles one or more switches (for example Mailchimp → Brevo and Google Analytics → Matomo), your urgency, and your goals. Once a partner takes it on, the request becomes a full project workspace: proposal, task tracking, configuration, messaging, and invoicing all live in one place under Requests.
02Creating a request
There are two ways to start:
- From a partner — open the Partners page or any partner post and click “Request help”. The request goes directly to that partner.
- From your stack — request help based on My Stack, and the switches are built from the tools you have already mapped.
Add the switches you need, how urgent it is, and what you want to achieve. The more context you give — team size, data volumes, deadlines — the better the proposal you get back.
You need at least one switch in the request, so add tools to your stack first if it is empty. Active request limits depend on your plan: 1 on Free, 3 on Pro, unlimited on Business.
03Request statuses explained
Every request moves through a clear pipeline. You can always see the current stage on the request card and inside the request detail page:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Your request has been sent and is waiting for the partner to accept it. |
| Matched | The partner accepted your request and is preparing a proposal. |
| Proposal sent | A proposal is waiting for you — review it and accept or decline. |
| Accepted | You accepted the proposal. The partner will start work shortly. |
| In progress | The migration is actively being worked on. Track it live. |
| Completed | The migration is done. Time to share your experience! |
| Cancelled | The request was cancelled by you or declined by the partner. |
04Reviewing the proposal
When the partner sends a proposal you get a notification, and the proposal appears on your request page. It covers the approach, the timeline, and the budget in DKK.
- 1
Read it through
Check that the scope matches what you asked for. Use the conversation panel to ask questions before deciding.
- 2
Accept or decline
Accept to move forward, or decline with a short reason. Declining is not the end — the partner can revise the proposal and send a new version.
- 3
Work begins
After you accept, the partner clicks “Start work” and the project moves to In progress.
05Providing configuration details
Most migrations need information only you have — account access, domain settings, export files. The partner sends you a configuration checklist, which appears on your request page as a form. Fill in each item and submit; the partner sees your answers instantly in their workspace.
06Tracking progress
Once work starts, the Progress tab on your request shows everything live, tracked by your partner:
- Workflow status — how many tasks are to-do, in progress, and done.
- Task list — every migration task, grouped by category, with priorities.
- Activity timeline — a chronological log of everything that happened: proposal sent, tasks completed, messages, invoices.
You can also manage per-project email updates, so important events reach your inbox even when you are not logged in.
07Talking to your partner
Every request has its own conversation thread. Use it for anything about the project — it keeps the discussion attached to the migration so nothing gets lost. Both you and the partner are notified of new messages.
08Invoices & payment
When the partner invoices you, the invoice appears on your request page with line items, tax, the total, a due date, and the partner’s bank details for the transfer.
- 1
Review the invoice
It shows “Awaiting payment” with everything you need to pay by bank transfer.
- 2
Pay and confirm
After you make the transfer, click “I’ve paid”. The partner is notified and confirms receipt on their side.
- 3
Done
The invoice flips to Paid and stays on the project for your records.
Payment happens by direct bank transfer between you and the partner — Staky does not charge you for the migration itself and is not a party to the payment.
09Completion & sharing your experience
When every task is done, the partner marks the project Completed. You will be invited to share your switching experience with the community — a pre-filled post with your switch and partner already attached. Your story helps the next business make the same move.
10Cancelling or deleting a request
You can cancel a request from its detail page while it is active. Once a request is cancelled or completed you can also delete it entirely, which removes it from your Requests list.
