Moving from Vagaro
Bring your clients over with a CSV export from Vagaro (Vagaro exports to Excel, so save the file as CSV first), 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. Then set up your services, hours and team and share your new booking link.
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.
