Unlinking Vercel to Upgrade to Paid Tier
Hi! I first set up my Neon account through Vercel when I was testing a project. I have since continued development and stopped using the Vercel platform. I'm at a point where I want to upgrade my Neon account from the free tier for more storage and compute, but as my subscription is managed by Vercel I'm prompted to upgrade through that platform. As I am no longer using Vercel I would much rather manage the Neon account independently. I have removed the integration from the Vercel side, but Neon is still directing me to Vercel for account management. The Neon chatbot has informed me that I need to transfer ownership of my account but that there is currently no self-service option to do so and directed me here. Is anybody able to help / suggest next steps? Thank you!

Hi, we don't support an automated migration from a Vercel account to a Neon account. I recommend registering for a Neon account and then migrating your database using pg_dump/pg_restore or using our import data assistant. The assistant option makes it quite easy to move your database.
You would end up with different connection details with either option, so you'd need to update your app.

Thanks for your reply! I already have a Neon account, should I be looking at creating a new organization within the account?
(currently the only org is the one managed by vercel) and then setting up a new project I can then migrate my data into?

Yes! Just create a new org on console.neon.tech or use the personal account org that you should also already see next to the Vercel-managed one.
