Migration

Switch from another platform (general)

Last reviewed 2026-07-06

What this guide covers

Switching to Bloomber from any platform other than Booksy or Square — there's no automated import for these today, so this is a fresh setup, done well.

Before you start

  • Export whatever your current platform allows — client list, service list, booking or payment history — for your own records, before you close that account.
  • There's no automated or staff-assisted import from platforms outside Booksy today — you'll set your business up directly in Bloomber.

Migration risks

  • Nothing transfers automatically. Plan for a fresh setup of your clients, services, team, and payments.
  • Losing access after account closure is common across platforms. Export what you want to keep before you cancel your old account.

Migration timeline

  • Before you switch: Export what you can from your current platform, then set your business up fresh in Bloomber.
  • Switch week: Go live once your team, services, and payments are configured.
  • First 30 days: Add clients as they book, or manually add known regulars ahead of time.

Steps

Phase 1: Prepare

Export whatever your current platform allows for your own reference. Gather your final service list, team contact info, and payment setup details.

Phase 2: Migrate

Set up your business directly in Bloomber. See Prepare Stripe, services, and team data before go-live.

Phase 3: Verify

Confirm everything's live and correct. See Verify your migration: post-switch checks.

Phase 4: Stabilize

Give yourself the first 30 days to settle in. See Stabilize after migration: first 30 days.

What success looks like

  • Your business is fully set up in Bloomber, using whatever records you exported from your old platform as reference.

Common problems

  • My old platform doesn't offer any export — Contact their support team directly to ask — most platforms have some form of data-export process, even if it isn't self-service.
  • I'm switching from Booksy or Square specifically — Use the dedicated guide instead: Switch from Booksy or Switch from Square.
