How to move your data
Switching salon booking software shouldn’t cost you a single client.
- 1
Export your clients
Export your client list from your current system as Excel or CSV. If you can’t find the option, ask your provider for it: it’s your data.
- 2
We import it with you
Send us the file or import it yourself: names, phone numbers, emails and notes. We check with you that everything came across.
- 3
Set up services and team
Services, durations, prices and each team member’s hours. We’ll help on WhatsApp if you need it.
- 4
Share your booking link
On Google, Instagram and WhatsApp. Keep your old system running during the switch if you prefer.
Good to know before you switch
- ControlAgenda is not a marketplace: clients book on your salon’s own page, which you share on Google, Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Our prices are in pounds for the UK. In Ireland, choose Ireland when you sign up and ControlAgenda sets euros and Irish VAT for you.
