What this guide covers
The three things every business needs to have configured in Bloomber before going live, regardless of which platform you're switching from.
Before you start
- Know your exact service list — names, durations, and prices — as you want them to appear to clients.
- Know who's on your team and their email addresses.
- Know whether you're connecting a new Stripe account or an existing one.
Migration risks
- Going live with an incomplete service list means clients can't book what they actually came for.
- Going live without your team invited means bookings have no one to assign to.
- Going live without Stripe connected means you can't take payment at all.
Migration timeline
Complete all three before your switch week — none of this depends on your old platform being active or inactive.
Steps
Phase 1: Prepare
Gather your final service list, team contact info, and Stripe details before touching Bloomber's settings — having it all ready makes the next phase quick.
Phase 2: Migrate
- Add each service with its real name, duration, and price. See Configure your booking flow, services, and availability rules.
- Invite each team member. See Invite providers and set up your team on Bloomber.
- Connect Stripe. See Connect Stripe and enable business payments.
Phase 3: Verify
Confirm every service is active with the right price, every team member has accepted their invite, and Stripe shows fully connected — not pending.
Phase 4: Stabilize
Keep an eye on your first week of real bookings to confirm services, team assignment, and payment all work together as expected.
What success looks like
- Every service, team member, and payment connection is live and correct before you announce your switch.
Common problems
- A service is missing pricing or duration — An incomplete service may not show as bookable — double-check each one before go-live.
- A team member hasn't accepted their invite — See Getting started — they may not have seen the invite email.
- Stripe shows pending — See Connect Stripe and enable business payments — a pending connection usually means a Stripe verification step wasn't finished.
