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.
