Overview
Simplero combines course hosting, community management, email marketing, and light CRM in a single subscription for coaches and creators. HubSpot separates these concerns into dedicated hubs (Sales, Marketing, Service) with a more sophisticated CRM data model that handles complex sales processes, marketing contact billing, and service ticketing. The migration carries Simplero's contact records, product catalog, order history, tags, and custom fields into HubSpot's Contacts, Companies, Deals, and custom properties. HubSpot's lifecycle_stage property replaces Simplero's contact status tracking, while order data becomes Deals with line items and product records. FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly: companies first, then contacts with company associations, then products, then orders tied to contacts. We use HubSpot's native import API for standard objects and the custom objects API for any Simplero custom entities. Automations, email sequences, course enrollment logic, and community access rules do not migrate — those require HubSpot workflow rebuilds and are documented in the migration plan as manual-configuration tasks.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Simplero object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Simplero
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Simplero contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. Core fields such as email, first name, last name, phone, address, city, state, zip, and country transfer as HubSpot native properties. Any custom Simplero contact fields (text, number, date, picklist, or checkbox) are created as HubSpot custom contact properties during the migration setup phase, using the same field type and option values where applicable.
Simplero
Contact Tags
HubSpot
Contact Property (multi-select) + Static List
1:1Simplero tags on contacts map to a HubSpot custom multi-select property for record‑level filtering and also generate HubSpot static lists by tag name. If a contact carries 10 tags, it will appear in 10 corresponding static lists, preserving the same segmentation behavior you relied on in Simplero for broadcast lists and campaign targeting.
Simplero
Product
HubSpot
Product + Line Item
1:1Simplero products are converted into HubSpot Product records, preserving the original SKU, price, description, and product type. When a Simplero order references these products, HubSpot creates Line Items linked to Deals, forming a Product + Line Item pair that supports quantity discounts, bundled pricing, and multi‑product quoting in HubSpot Sales Hub.
Simplero
Order
HubSpot
Deal + Line Items
1:1Simplero orders with status (paid, pending, refunded) map to HubSpot Deals. The ordered products appear as Line Items on the Deal. Order date becomes Deal create date; payment status maps to a custom Deal property since HubSpot has no native payment-status field on Deals.
Simplero
Course Enrollment
HubSpot
Custom Property on Contact
1:1Simplero course enrollments (which courses a contact purchased or accessed) have no native HubSpot equivalent, so we migrate enrollment data as a custom multi‑select property on the HubSpot Contact record. This property lists course names, and we store each enrollment date in a companion custom date property. Your HubSpot admin can reference these properties in workflows for automated access management or completion tracking.
Simplero
Community Membership
HubSpot
Custom Property on Contact
1:1Simplero community membership status and join date are migrated as HubSpot custom contact properties, such as community_name and community_member_since. Since HubSpot lacks a native community membership object, access control for community features must be implemented through HubSpot workflow logic post‑migration. Your admin can use these custom properties to trigger enrollment emails, grant portal access, or update membership tiers based on property values.
Simplero
Custom Field (Simplero)
HubSpot
Custom Property (HubSpot)
1:1Simplero custom fields of any type — text, number, date, picklist, or checkbox — are mapped to HubSpot custom contact properties with matching field types. For picklist fields, each source option is translated to the corresponding HubSpot option label; where options differ, a value‑by‑value mapping table is created. Multi‑select picklists become HubSpot multi‑select properties, preserving all selected values on the contact record.
Simplero
Automation / Flow (Simplero)
HubSpot
Not Migrated
1:1Simplero flows (automations triggered by purchases, tag additions, enrollment events, or time delays) do not migrate directly to HubSpot. FlitStack exports your Simplero flow definitions as a reference PDF or JSON file, documenting trigger conditions, actions, and flow order. Your HubSpot admin can use this export to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot's workflow editor, adapting event‑based triggers to property changes, list memberships, or deal stage updates.
Simplero
Email Sequences (Simplero)
HubSpot
Not Migrated
1:1Simplero email broadcasts and sequences do not transfer to HubSpot because the platforms use different sequencing models. HubSpot sequences live in Sales Hub or Service Hub and rely on cadence steps, triggers, and timing that differ from Simplero's time‑based broadcasts. We export your Simplero sequence structure (order, timing, content) as a JSON file so your HubSpot admin can rebuild equivalent email sequences using HubSpot's sequence tool, preserving cadence and criteria.
Simplero
Simplero User / Owner
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Simplero users who own contacts or orders are matched to HubSpot users by their email address. If a Simplero owner does not have a HubSpot user, FlitStack flags the mismatch before migration and you can either create a new HubSpot user or reassign those records to an existing user. This ensures owner assignments are preserved and that your team can maintain accountability for contacts and deals after the migration.

HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export Simplero data and audit schema completeness
FlitStack extracts your Simplero data via the platform's native export (contacts CSV, product export, order export) and API where available. We audit the export for completeness — checking for custom field coverage, tag cardinality, order history depth, and course enrollment records. Any gaps in the Simplero export are flagged before we build the mapping plan so your team can retrieve missing data from Simplero directly.
Create HubSpot custom properties and configure pipeline
Before any data loads, we create HubSpot custom contact properties (simplero_tags, enrolled_courses, community_membership, source_simplero_id, original_create_date) and custom deal properties (payment_status, refunded_amount). We also configure the HubSpot pipeline and stages to match your Simplero order-status model or create a new pipeline if you're building out a sales process. Product records are created in HubSpot from the Simplero product export before order migration begins.
Resolve owners and match contacts to companies
Simplero user emails are matched to HubSpot user accounts by email address. Unmatched Simplero owners are flagged for your team to create HubSpot users or reassign to a fallback owner. Contact records are matched or created against existing HubSpot companies by company name; contacts without a matching company get a placeholder company record. This step ensures every contact has an AccountId before Deals are created and linked.
Migrate in dependency order: Contacts → Products → Orders → Custom Data
We sequence the migration to satisfy HubSpot's foreign-key requirements: contacts associate to companies first, products load before order line items, and order header records (Deals) load before line items (Line Items) are linked. Tags generate HubSpot static lists during the contact migration phase. A delta window (24–48 hours) opens after the bulk load to capture any Simplero records created or modified during the cutover period before you go live in HubSpot.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and reconcile record counts
A representative sample (100–500 records) migrates first across all object types. We generate a field-level diff comparing Simplero source values to HubSpot destination values for every mapped field, including custom properties and tag-to-list memberships. You verify that lifecycle mapping, product linking, and payment status translation match expectations. Record counts are reconciled against Simplero totals for contacts, products, and orders before the full migration commits.
