# Payment Import

> Manually import payment data when your billing provider is not directly supported.

## What it does

Payment Import lets you bring payment data into Bigdelta when your billing provider does not have a direct integration. You can manually upload your customer, subscription, and transaction data so it works alongside data from other connected providers.

***

## How to set up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings then Integrations">
    Find the Payment Import card in the payment providers section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Set Up">
    The setup flow will guide you through the import process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your import profile">
    Define how your data maps to Bigdelta's data model. This includes mapping fields for customers, subscriptions, invoices, and transactions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload your data">
    Provide your payment data following the configured mapping. Bigdelta will process and import the records.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also use the Bigdelta API to send payment data programmatically instead of entering it manually.

## When to use Payment Import

* Your billing provider is not listed in the available integrations
* You use a custom or in-house billing system
* You need to import historical payment data from a legacy system

<Note>
  Unlike direct integrations, Payment Import does not sync automatically. You will need to import data when you want to update your records.
