Migration checklist
One page. Print it. Cross items off as you switch.
Use this list to move from any existing booking tool to Booked in an afternoon.
Before you start
- [ ] Pick your slug (
booked.co/<slug>). Short, matches the shop name. - [ ] Have your services in a spreadsheet: name, duration in minutes, price.
- [ ] Export your customers from the old tool as CSV (name, email, phone).
- [ ] Decide on Starter or Pro (see Starter vs Pro).
Day of switch
- Sign up at
booked.co/authand start the 7-day Starter trial. - Claim your slug and set the shop's name, address, phone, and hours.
- Add services. Type from the spreadsheet or paste from CSV.
- Add staff (Pro only for multiple staff). Assign services and hours.
- Import customers via Settings → Customers → Import.
- Send a test booking to yourself to confirm the confirmation email arrives.
- Turn on the old tool's "closed for online bookings" mode and put your Booked URL in every bio.
Week one
- Watch the calendar for double-bookings for the first week; if you left the old tool open by accident, this is where it shows up.
- Turn on SMS (Pro + SMS add-on) if reminders matter to your show-rate.
- Consider enabling Card Payments for high-value services to cut no-shows further.
