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 Nearcut.
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 Nearcut.
Keep taking bookings on Nearcut the whole time. You only switch your link once everything is in place and tested.
Export from Nearcut
Download what Nearcut 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.

Before you switch
The questions owners ask.
The practical stuff about moving off Nearcut. Still unsure? Start the free trial, no card needed.
Will I lose my client data when I switch from Nearcut?
Nearcut data export may require contacting support. Under GDPR, you can request your personal data in a portable format. Once you have your files, Setora helps you import clients, services and any booking records included in the export.
Is Setora really £39/month per location?
Yes. Setora is £39/month per location, with unlimited staff and no Setora commission on bookings. SMS credits and card processing are charged separately if you use them.
How long does it take to switch from Nearcut?
Most shops can get Setora ready in a day once they have their export. You can run both platforms side by side until you are ready to change your public booking link.
What if I am a solo barber?
If your current platform is cheaper and covers everything you need, staying put may make sense. Setora becomes clearer when you want flat location pricing, full data export and no per-staff pricing as the team grows.
Do I need to give Nearcut notice before leaving?
Check your own agreement and cancellation terms before switching. Setora is month-to-month, with no long contract and no exit fees.
Is Setora the best Nearcut alternative in the UK?
Setora is a strong fit for shops that want flat pricing, direct bookings and portable data. Nearcut may still suit owners who value its support model or current feature set. The better choice depends on your shop size and priorities.
