From a file

Export your clients from your old software (Booksy, Planity, Fresha, a spreadsheet…): a CSV or Excel file with first name, last name, phone and email. Extra columns are ignored, and anything missing can be filled in later, record by record.

By pasting a list

Or paste a list by hand, one person per line.

For ten clients noted in a book, no need to build a file: paste them here, one per line. A client already known with the same number is updated, not duplicated.

Running the import

The import happens all at once. Then open two or three records in your client file: a shaky import is far easier to fix right away than six months later.

Frequently asked questions

My file has columns in a different order

It doesn't matter: the import recognises columns by their header (first name, last name, phone, email). Others are ignored.

Phone numbers are written in different ways

Spaces, dots and dashes are accepted. A number with no country code is read in the salon's country.

I imported the same file twice

Records are recognised by their phone number: the second pass updates, it doesn't duplicate.
