# Change acquirer with recurring customers

This guide shows you how to copy the saved cards, and use them through a new acquirer.

> [!WARNING]
> 🧑‍💻 This action requires technical knowledge!
> 
> There are **several API calls** you need to call, and therefore we will recommend you to create a script when doing this.

1. [Get a list of subscriptions](https://docs.frisbii.com/reference/getsubscriptionlist#examples)

This API will give you a list of your subscriptions. We recommend only getting the active subscriptions. **Save the customer handles and subscription handles**.
2. [Get payment methods](https://docs.frisbii.com/reference/getsubscriptionpaymentmethod)

This API will give you card payment references (ca_xxxxxxxx...). Save them.

Only save the payment methods that are being used currently. In order to make this API call, you will need the subscription handles from step 1.
3. [Copy card payment method](https://docs.frisbii.com/reference/copycardpaymentmethodv2)

In this call use:

Agreement (which is the last part of the URL when you are in the Frisbii Pay Dashboard on an activated current acquirer agreement - see picture from below): ![](https://cdn.document360.io/b84e1b5d-2ba6-4465-8c62-fb45a2f31314/Images/Documentation/image-PKE0D7ZY.png)
  - Customer handle (the list you got in call 1)
  - Card payment reference (from call 2)
4. [Set payment method](https://docs.frisbii.com/reference/setsubscriptionpaymentmethod)

Use this API call to set the newly created payment method on the subscription.

For this call you will need the new card reference, which you get in return in step 3.
