Moving from Booksy
Bring your clients over with a CSV export from Booksy (if your account has no export option, ask Booksy support for one), uploaded to the ServiceSprig switch-over import. Our importer suggests a match for each column, you check them before anything is saved, and we’ll help if anything doesn’t line up. Share your new booking link with your regulars before you turn Booksy off.
Past visits don’t import, so keep your old export somewhere safe. Run both apps side by side for a week while your regulars move to the new link.
