§ 01
Export what Mailchimp can reach
Connect Mailchimp, sync the Resurva client list, and download the audience file so you have the core contact data ready.

SWITCHING FROM RESURVA - FOUNDERS CODE: EARLYFOUNDER
Your client list deserves an exit button.
Resurva routes client export through Mailchimp and does not offer a simple downloadable client file in the dashboard. Setora is the opposite: full CSV exports, flat UK pricing, and no lock-in.

Section 02 - The Exit ProblemBased on Resurva support docs - Apr 2026
The calendar is not the issue. The exit is.
Resurva can be a simple scheduler. But if your client list is the engine of the business, it should not need a third-party marketing sync before you can take it with you.
The Setora rule: if the data belongs to your shop, exporting it should be ordinary.

Section 03 - Switching Without ChaosExport, rebuild, test, go live
A careful switch beats a rushed one.
The job is not just importing a spreadsheet. It is making sure future bookings, client messages, and every public booking link move in the right order.
Open the free GDPR template →§ 02
Request the rest formally
Send a GDPR Article 20 data portability request for account data that is not available through the Mailchimp route.
§ 03
Run both systems briefly
Keep Resurva live while Setora is configured, then move future bookings into the new calendar before changing your links.
§ 04
Tell clients once, everywhere
Update Google, Instagram, your website, and booking buttons with the same Setora link so clients do not get split across systems.
Section 04 - What Changes In SetoraOwnership, portability & UK pricing
Setora treats your client list like an asset, not leverage.
You still get the boring operational pieces: online bookings, staff schedules, reminders, deposits, walk-ins, and reporting. The difference is what happens when you want your own data.
§ 01
Export means export
Clients, bookings, notes, and services should be portable without turning it into a support process.
§ 02
No platform hostage situation
Setora is designed so leaving is boring. That is exactly how business software should feel.
§ 03
Your booking link, your brand
Clients move to a Setora page branded for your shop, not a marketplace that trains them around somebody else's directory.
Three steps. One day. Done.
01
Get the cleanest client export you can
Use Resurva's Mailchimp route for client emails, then send a GDPR Article 20 request for the rest of your account data. We provide the wording and help you sense-check the files.
02
Rebuild services, staff, and opening hours
Setora setup is quick: add services, chair schedules, deposits, and walk-in rules while Resurva stays live in the background.
03
Import, test, and switch the booking link
Import your client list, place future Resurva bookings into Setora, then update Google, Instagram, your website, and client messages with the new link.
Section 06 - In Fairness To ResurvaCredit where it's due
The honest bit
When Resurva can still make sense.
This is not a hit piece. Resurva can be a fine fit if portability, UK billing, and full export control are not top priorities yet.
- Simple scheduling. If all you need is a lightweight booking widget, Resurva may still do the job day to day.
- Mailchimp integration. Resurva's email workflow can be useful if your shop already relies on Mailchimp campaigns.
- Existing client habits. If regulars already know your current link, switching needs a clean communication plan.
Resurva is acceptable if staying put is the brief. Setora is the better fit when you want the exit door clearly marked from day one.

Questions
Straight answers
No sales jargon. Here’s what you actually want to know.
Resurva has no direct downloadable client list in the dashboard. Its own support docs point users to Mailchimp for exporting client emails. For anything beyond that, submit a GDPR Article 20 data portability request to Resurva support. We provide a template and migration support.
Resurva's waitlist is a cancellation notification feature. It is not a walk-in queue. Setora supports walk-ins alongside pre-booked appointments in the same workflow.
Resurva says client contact information is not available in a downloadable format in order to comply with privacy policy and GDPR laws. GDPR Article 20 also grants data portability rights, so you can request your data in a portable format.
Resurva is independently run and has no simple self-service export for client data. If access changes, your retrieval options are limited. With Setora you can export clients, bookings, and records as CSV files anytime.
The slow part is obtaining export data from Resurva. Once you have your client list, most shops can configure Setora in around 20 minutes and go live the same day.
No. Resurva booking links use resurva.com subdomains. With Setora, you can use your own domain or a setora.co.uk subdomain and update links across social, Google Business Profile, and your website.
