Beehiiv integration
for VeloCMS

Beehiiv built a great audience for you. When you're ready to move to a platform you fully own, you shouldn't have to rebuild that audience from scratch. VeloCMS imports your Beehiiv subscriber export so your readers follow you to the new platform without ever knowing you switched.

Get started

What this integration does

Beehiiv lets you export your subscribers and your posts as CSV files from Settings → Export Data. VeloCMS accepts either file, or both, in Admin → Import → beehiiv. Active subscribers are added to your VeloCMS members with their free or paid tier preserved; rows with any other Beehiiv status (paused, pending, needs approval, inactive) are left out and reported in the import summary. If an email address is already in your member list, it is skipped rather than duplicated. Going forward, new subscribers are managed entirely within VeloCMS. If you want to keep a Beehiiv publication fed as well, the optional Beehiiv Sync plugin (Admin → Plugins → Beehiiv Sync) subscribes each new VeloCMS member to it with your Beehiiv API key and Publication ID.

CSV import

Export your subscribers and posts from Beehiiv, then upload the CSV files in Admin → Import → beehiiv. Upload one file or both.

No subscriber loss

Active subscribers in your Beehiiv export land in your VeloCMS members with free or paid tier preserved. Your audience follows you without re-subscribing.

Deduplication

Emails already in your member list are skipped, not doubled, so you can safely re-run an import.

One-time migration

The import is a migration step — you own the data in VeloCMS afterwards without needing to maintain a Beehiiv account.

Where to find it in admin

  1. 1
    In Beehiiv: Go to Settings → Export Data. Choose Export Subscribers (Quick or Full) and, if you want your posts too, Export All Posts.
  2. 2
    In VeloCMS: Admin → Import → beehiiv. Upload the subscribers CSV, the posts CSV, or both. VeloCMS detects the columns automatically and imports active subscribers.

Use cases

A newsletter writer with 3,000 Beehiiv subscribers wants to move to a platform where they own their domain and content — they export from Beehiiv, import into VeloCMS, and continue publishing without a subscriber reset. A creator who wants to add a custom domain, membership paywall, and full-resolution media gallery migrates from Beehiiv (which limits these features on lower tiers) to VeloCMS without asking their audience to re-subscribe. A developer building a client's blog site where the client already has a Beehiiv audience imports that audience on setup day so the new site launches with a pre-populated subscriber list.
