What can move

Bring across what Vagaro provides.

The exact result depends on the fields in your export. Review every file and mapping before relying on it.

Services and prices

Map service names, durations and prices from the files your provider gives you.

Staff and working hours

Set up the team, the services they provide and when they are available.

Opening hours

Recreate each location's opening times, breaks and booking availability.

Customer records

Import names, contact details, consent and useful history when those fields are included.

Booking history

Past and upcoming appointments can move when the export contains the required fields.

Notes and preferences

Bring across client notes and preferences when they are included in your export.

How we compared: This example uses a three-chair Vagaro setup with common add-ons. Some shops will use fewer add-ons, and currency or package changes can move the number. Setora is £59/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.

Data and timing

Your data stays yours.

Request the records Vagaro provides before cancelling. Import the supported fields, review them and keep the old account live until your Setora setup has been tested.

  1. Export before cancelling. Ask for the records you need while your current account is still active.

  2. Check before changing links. Review imported records and test the booking flow first.

  3. Keep a secure copy. Store the original export safely while you check the move.

  4. Keep an exit route. People with permission can export customer records and available reports from Setora.

Before you switch

The practical questions.

What to check before moving away from Vagaro.

Will I lose my client data when I switch?

Vagaro offers customer list exports in standard formats for business owners. Setora helps you import the useful records into your new setup.

Is it really no commission? What's the catch?

£59/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 Vagaro add-on costs?

Vagaro has a wide feature set and some capabilities may sit behind add-ons. Setora keeps the platform price simple, with SMS credits and card processing separate only when used.

Do clients need to create a profile to book?

Setora's Booking Page is focused on picking a service, staff member, date and time. Customers can book directly without being pushed into a third-party marketplace profile first.

What if I want to leave Setora?

Cancel any time. There are no exit fees, no lock-in contracts, and your customers, bookings and reports stay exportable.

Is Setora stable for busy shops and salons?

Setora is built for shops and salons that need simple, fast booking routines during busy hours. The switch template lets you test your Booking Page before changing public links.
