Keep your customer list
Import the customer records your current provider gives you, then keep them exportable from Setora later.
SwitchSETMORE → Setora
Move from Setmore to Setora, without losing a client.
Setmore is a useful general scheduler. Setora is narrower on purpose: direct bookings, customer ownership and one flat UK price per location.

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

A note on this comparison: Full disclosure: we built Setora, so this comparison has a point of view. Setmore can be cheaper if you only need basic scheduling. This example uses three Pro users at $11.99/user/month and a rough GBP conversion before exchange-rate changes or add-ons. Last reviewed July 2026. Setora is £39/month per location. 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.

Before you switch
The questions owners ask.
The practical stuff about moving off Setmore. Still unsure? Start the free trial, no card needed.
Can I export my client data from Setmore?
Setmore lets owners export contacts as CSV, with limits depending on the route used. For staff data or appointment history, you may need a data portability request. Setora helps import the files you receive.
Is Setmore's free plan enough for a barbershop?
For a small shop that only needs basic scheduling, it may be. Setora is built for owners who want a shop-focused Booking Page, staff setup, portable customer data and no Setora commission.
Does Setora have a walk-in queue like Setmore?
Setora is built for bookings and busy shop routines. If walk-ins are important to how your shop runs, test that setup during your trial before moving links over.
Why does USD billing matter?
If a platform bills UK shops in dollars, exchange rates can change the final monthly amount. Setora bills UK customers in pounds, with one platform price per location.
Does Setora sync with Google Calendar?
If Google Calendar is central to your setup, check the current integration options before switching. Setora's core calendar is built around your staff, services and Booking Page.
Is Setora a good alternative to Setmore for barbershops?
Yes, if you want a platform built around UK shop routines, flat location pricing and portable customer data. Setmore can still suit owners who only need a general appointment scheduler.
