How to Migrate Your Business from Podia to systeme.io
Introduction
Podia is popular for courses, digital downloads, coaching, and a clean storefront—but creators who want full funnels, stronger automation, affiliates, and lower cost often switch to systeme.io. On eligible plans, systeme.io offers a complete, free business migration from Podia (see How to migrate your business from Podia to systeme.io).
Note: migration is manually performed by the systeme.io team—not a one-click Podia export.
Why Move from Podia to systeme.io?
- Funnels & automation: systeme.io is built for multi-step sales funnels, deadline funnels, and cross-feature workflows (features)
- Affiliate program on every plan, including Free
- Unlimited email sends on all plans (contact limits per tier)
- 0% platform transaction fees on paid plans (pricing)
- Physical products with SKUs and variants—useful if you outgrow digital-only Podia
- Free done-for-you migration on Unlimited monthly or any annual plan
Stay on Podia if you want the simplest course + download storefront with minimal funnel complexity. Move to systeme.io when you need funnel-first marketing, evergreen webinars, and an all-in-one stack at lower cost.

What the Team Migrates
1. Sales funnel pages
Funnel and sales pages are migrated first so you can send traffic quickly. Podia site pages and offer flows are rebuilt in the systeme.io funnel editor.
2. Blog pages and posts
If you publish on Podia, content can move to systeme.io Blog ( When to use the sales funnel feature and the blog feature).
3. Courses
Courses are imported one by one with modules and lessons. Video and files are typically linked or embedded (YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, or file delivery as digital products on systeme.io).
4. Physical products
Physical products are recreated with pricing, tax, SKUs, and images. See How to create and sell a physical product with systeme.io.
5. Newsletters and campaigns
Podia email campaigns and broadcasts are rebuilt in systeme.io.
6. Contact lists and tags
Customers and subscribers are imported with tags where possible. Export a backup from Podia before cutover. Large lists: see Migration of your contact list to systeme.io: what you need to know before getting started and How to authenticate your domain name for email sending.
7. Automations
Podia automations map to systeme.io rules and workflows under Automations.
8. Domain integration and authentication
Connect your custom domain after migration ( How to add a custom domain to your systeme.io account).
