Does Webflow require me to use Bonsai for client billing, or can I transfer client sites to their own accounts and remove myself from the equation?

Webflow does not require you to use Bonsai for client billing. It provides flexibility for you to transfer client sites to their own accounts and remove yourself from the equation if you prefer.

When you build and manage websites for your clients using Webflow, you have the ability to transfer ownership of the project to your client. This means that the client can take full control of the site, including billing and hosting.

To transfer ownership, you would navigate to the project settings in your Webflow dashboard. From there, click on the "Transfer Project" button, enter the client's email address, and send the transfer request. The client will receive an email notifying them of the ownership transfer and the necessary steps to accept it.

Once the client accepts the transfer, they will have complete control over billing, including setting up their own Webflow account and subscription. This allows them to manage payments directly and removes you from the billing equation.

Transferring ownership also enables the client to manage their own hosting. They can choose to host the site with Webflow or export the code and host it on their own server. This gives them the freedom to make decisions about their website's hosting based on their specific requirements.

It's worth noting that if you transfer ownership of a site, you will lose access to it in your Webflow account. Therefore, it's important to communicate and plan with your client before initiating any ownership transfers to ensure a smooth transition.

In summary, Webflow allows you to transfer client sites to their own accounts, providing them with complete control over billing and hosting. This flexibility gives you the freedom to remove yourself from the equation and let the clients take ownership of their websites.
