Switching platforms?
Coming from Acuity, Square, Vagaro, or Booksy? We rebuild your services, import your client list, and get you live on a real BookReady site, free with any plan. You keep your old platform running until the new one’s ready, so nothing drops.
Live on a real BookReady site in under 20 minutes. Then email us your export file from your current platform.
Every platform gives you a client CSV. Email it over, or hop on a 15-minute screen share and we’ll pull it together with you.
Services rebuilt, clients imported, hours set. Usually the same day. Your clients won’t notice a thing, except a nicer booking page.

What moves
We bring across the things that take hours to re-enter by hand. Here’s exactly what comes over and what doesn’t.
| What | What happens in the move |
|---|---|
| Services & pricing | Rebuilt to match your current menu, names, durations, and prices. |
| Client list | Imported with names, phone numbers, and emails so your regulars are already there. |
| Business hours | Set up per staff member, including blocked dates and buffer time. |
| Staff & calendars | Each staff member gets their own services, hours, and booking calendar. |
| Policies & deposits | Cancellation terms and deposit rules configured before you go live. |
| Saved cards | Not transferred, for security. Clients add a card at their next booking through Stripe. |
