The Short Answer
Moving from ClickFunnels 2.0 to GoHighLevel is mostly a rebuild, not a one-click transfer. There is no official button that lifts an entire account across, but GoHighLevel does include a page import tool that clones your live funnel pages, and everything else (contacts, domains, payments, automations) moves through a predictable set of manual steps. Plan for a weekend of focused work for a small account, and a week or two if you run many funnels, courses, and complex automations. This guide walks the full migration in order, with the gotchas that quietly break funnels if you skip them.
What Actually Transfers, and What Does Not
Set expectations before you start. GoHighLevel can clone the visual design of a public funnel page through its URL import tool, so your layouts and copy carry over with light cleanup. Contacts and order history move by CSV export and import. Everything with logic behind it does not transfer: automations, email sequences, membership access rules, payment integrations, and custom fields all have to be rebuilt by hand. That sounds like a lot, but most of it is straightforward reconstruction, and you end up with a cleaner setup than the one you left.
The single biggest risk is redirecting live traffic to a page that is not fully wired up. If your checkout is not connected or your fulfillment automation is missing, you lose real sales. The step order below is designed to prevent exactly that.
Step 1: Audit Your ClickFunnels Account
Do not migrate blindly. Open a spreadsheet and list every active funnel, the domain or path each one lives on, how many steps it has, and which integrations feed it (Stripe, email provider, webinar or booking tools). Flag anything that is archived or gets no traffic: those are not worth rebuilding. Write down every custom field you created in ClickFunnels, because you will recreate each one in GoHighLevel before you import contacts. This audit is also your test checklist later, so be thorough now and save yourself guesswork.
Step 2: Export Your Contacts and Order Data
In ClickFunnels, go to the Contacts section, set your date range, and download the export as a CSV. Do the same for order and transaction history so you keep a record of who bought what. Before you import anything into GoHighLevel, create the matching custom fields you noted in Step 1, then map your CSV columns to them during import. Import your contacts into the correct GoHighLevel sub-account, and use tags to preserve segmentation (buyers, leads, specific funnel sources) so your automations can target the right people once they are live.
Step 3: Rebuild Your Funnels With the URL Import Tool
This is where GoHighLevel saves you the most time. Inside the target sub-account, open Sites, select the Funnels tab, and click New Funnel. Name it, then add a new step, give the step a name and URL path, and paste the live ClickFunnels page URL you want to clone. GoHighLevel visits that page and copies its elements into the editor. Repeat this for each step in the funnel: the tool works one page at a time, not one funnel at a time.
The import is a starting point, not a finished page. Expect to fix spacing, re-upload some images, reset fonts, and rebuild any form fields or order bumps by hand. Treat the clone as roughly 70 percent of the work done, then polish. Rebuild the funnel logic (upsells, downsells, one-time-offer paths) inside GoHighLevel directly, because that logic never comes across in a visual clone.
Step 4: Move Your Domains and DNS
Do not repoint your domain until the funnel is finished and tested. When you are ready, add the domain in GoHighLevel and update the DNS records at your registrar to point to GoHighLevel instead of ClickFunnels. If a funnel lives on your root domain, plan the cutover for a low-traffic window because DNS changes can take time to propagate. Keep the ClickFunnels version live until the GoHighLevel page resolves correctly and takes a test payment. Only then flip the domain and, later, cancel the old plan.
Step 5: Rebuild Memberships and Courses
GoHighLevel includes a membership and course product (Memberships) that replaces ClickFunnels course functionality. Course content does not transfer automatically, so recreate your course structure (categories, modules, lessons) and re-upload videos and files. Rebuild your access rules so buyers are granted the right product automatically after purchase. If you have existing members, you can grant them access in bulk and send a short email explaining the new login. Test one full member journey from purchase to lesson access before you move anyone real.
Step 6: Reconnect Stripe and Payments
Connect the same Stripe account you used in ClickFunnels to GoHighLevel so your payout details and customer records stay intact. Rebuild your products and prices inside GoHighLevel, then attach them to the correct funnel steps and order forms. Active subscriptions are the delicate part: existing Stripe subscriptions keep billing through Stripe, but they are not managed inside GoHighLevel unless you migrate them, so decide whether to leave legacy subscriptions running as-is or move them deliberately. Whatever you choose, run a real test transaction and confirm the money reaches Stripe and the buyer receives access before going live.
Step 7: Recreate Email, SMS, and Automations
Rebuild your follow-up in the GoHighLevel Workflows builder. Recreate each email sequence, then add SMS steps where they make sense, since native texting is one of the main reasons agencies switch. Wire the triggers explicitly: when a purchase happens, grant the product, tag the buyer, and start the correct sequence. Set up your sending domain and email authentication (SPF, DKIM) so your messages land in the inbox rather than spam. If you use phone or SMS, complete A2P 10DLC registration early, because approval can take days and your texts will not send until it clears.
Step 8: Test Before You Redirect Live Traffic
Walk the entire funnel as a real customer would, using a test card and a spare email address. Opt in, buy, hit any upsell, and confirm four things fire: the payment reaches Stripe, the buyer tag applies, product or course access is granted, and the confirmation email arrives. Check the pages on mobile, because imported layouts often break on small screens. Only after a clean end-to-end pass should you repoint the domain and send live traffic. Keep ClickFunnels active for a short overlap period as insurance, then cancel once you are confident.
How the Pricing Math Changes After You Move
Part of the reason people migrate is cost consolidation. ClickFunnels 2.0 runs $147 per month for Basic, $197 for Pro, and $297 for the Funnel Hacker plan. GoHighLevel starts at $97 per month for the Starter plan (up to 3 sub-accounts), $297 for Unlimited (unlimited sub-accounts), and $497 for Agency Pro (which unlocks SaaS Mode to resell the platform). The catch is usage fees: SMS, calls, email sends, and AI features are billed on top of your plan in GoHighLevel, so budget an extra $20 to $150 per month depending on volume.
The real saving is not the sticker price, it is replacing several tools at once. GoHighLevel bundles funnels, CRM, email, SMS, calendars, memberships, and automations under one subscription, so people migrating usually cancel a separate email tool, a booking tool, and sometimes a course platform in the same move. We break down the full feature set in our GoHighLevel review, but the short version is that consolidation, not the headline number, is what changes the math.
Common Migration Mistakes to Avoid
Three mistakes cause most of the pain. First, repointing the domain before the funnel is tested, which sends live buyers to a broken checkout. Second, importing contacts before creating custom fields, which strips out data you cannot easily recover. Third, forgetting the automations entirely: the pages look done, but nothing tags buyers or grants access, so customers pay and then hear nothing. Rebuild the invisible logic with the same care you give the visible pages, and test the money path last.
The Verdict
Migrating from ClickFunnels to GoHighLevel is a rebuild, but a manageable one if you work in order: audit, export, clone pages, rebuild logic, reconnect payments, then test before you cut over the domain. The payoff is a single platform doing the work of several tools, usually at a lower blended cost.
