Troubleshooting Site Transfer Failures

1 min

Reasons for Site Transfer Failure

The following actions cause the site transfer process to fail:
  • Transfer Invite Expired: The transfer invite is valid for 3 days only. If the recipient does not accept the transfer within 3 days, the invite will expire. If the recipient did not receive the invite, you can resend it or send the direct transfer link. Click here to learn more.
  • Premium Plan Cancelled: After initiating the transfer of a site with an assigned premium plan, you cannot cancel the premium plan. This refers to plans both within the initial 14 day trial period and after.
  • Domain Disconnected or Cancelled: After initiating the transfer of a site with a connected domain, you cannot disconnect or cancel the domain. 
  • Primary Domain Replaced: After initiating the transfer of a site with a connected domain, you cannot change the site's primary domain.
  • Mailbox Cancelled: If the site you are transferring has a connected domain that is associated with a mailbox, you cannot cancel the mailbox after initiating the transfer of the site.  
  • Third-Party App Cancelled or Added: After initiating the transfer of a site with a third-party app, you cannot cancel the third-party app subscription. In addition, you cannot add a new third-party app subscription after you initiate the transfer.
