The switch promise
Move over without losing what matters.
Three things every owner worries about before they switch. Here is exactly what happens to each one.
Keep your bookings
Keep the old diary live while Setora is set up and tested. Import future bookings when the export is clean enough.
Keep your customers' trust
The same familiar booking experience, just a new link. No awkward re-registration for your regulars.
What comes across
What you can bring across from Booksy.
Use the files your current provider gives you to rebuild Setora without starting from a blank diary. Here is what usually moves and stays yours.
Services & prices
Your full service menu with durations and prices, mapped onto Setora ready to book.
Staff & rotas
Every team member with their working hours and the services they offer.
Opening hours
Location opening times and breaks, so the diary reflects how you actually work.
Customer records
Names, contact details, consent and any visit history included in your export, so the useful customer detail is not left behind.
Booking history
Past and upcoming appointments can be imported when your current platform includes them in the export.
Notes & preferences
Client notes and preferences can move with the record when they are included in your export.
The switch, step by step
Four steps off Booksy.
Keep taking bookings on Booksy the whole time. You only switch your link once everything is in place and tested.

Download what Booksy makes available, or request your portable data before you cancel. We help you work out what can be imported.
Set up Setora
Map your services, team and opening hours onto Setora, so you are not rebuilding the menu by hand.
Import and test
Bring in the files you have, then run a test booking to check services, staff, customers and opening hours look right.
Switch your link
When you are happy, point your booking link at Setora from Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or your site.

How we compared: Figures use publicly available UK pricing and product information. This example uses a three-chair shop, 10 Boost first visits and 80 Tap to Pay visits. Boost, payment and payout usage can move the number up or down. Setora is £39/month per location, before VAT where applicable. SMS credits and card processing are separate if you use them. Competitor prices, add-ons, taxes, marketplace fees and exchange rates can change, so check the current provider pricing before you decide.
Your data stays yours.
Move with confidence by bringing across the supported records Booksy gives you. Once they are in Setora, people with permission can export customer records and available reports whenever needed.
Check before changing links. Review imported records and test the new booking flow first.
Keep a secure copy. Store the original export safely while you check the move.
No fixed-term contract. Setora is month-to-month, with no minimum term.
Keep your customer relationships. Your customer list belongs to your business, not a marketplace.

Before you switch
The questions owners ask.
The practical stuff about moving off Booksy. Still unsure? Start the free trial, no card needed.
Will I lose my client data when I switch?
Booksy lets owners export client contact lists from the Customer Database area. Appointment history may need support help. Setora gives you a migration path and helps you import the client data you can export.
Is it really no commission? What's the catch?
£39/month per location is how Setora makes money. We do not take a cut of your bookings, card payments or walk-ins. SMS credits and card processing are separate if you use them.
What about Booksy Boost commission?
If Boost commission is making costs hard to predict, Setora gives you a simpler model: direct bookings, no Setora commission, and one platform price per location. Check Booksy's current terms before cancelling or changing your setup.
How long does it take to switch from Booksy?
Set up services and staff, import the supported files you receive, test the Booking Page and then update your public links when ready.
Will I lose clients from the Booksy marketplace?
Existing clients who book with you directly can move to your Setora Booking Page. Marketplace discovery is different. If Booksy is a major source of new clients, weigh that against the cost and ownership trade-off.
What are the best Booksy alternatives in the UK?
Popular Booksy alternatives include Fresha, Treatwell, Square Appointments and Setora. The right choice depends on whether you want marketplace discovery, flat pricing, client data ownership or a simpler direct booking setup.
