Migrate from Booksy
Move from Booksy to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off Booksy should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your booking & salon tool data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while Booksy keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
Booksy is best known for consumer discovery — its marketplace app is where a lot of barbers and salons genuinely win new bookings, and the Booksy Biz app keeps the calendar, clients and marketing in one place. That reach is the reason to credit it. The friction that drives migrations is usually cost and depth: pricing is commonly per staff member with paid add-ons like Boost stacked on top, and it stays a booking-and-marketing tool — accounting, VAT, real stock control and your own storefront live elsewhere. PeakSpitz consolidates the back office into one platform with unlimited users.
The safe way to leave Booksy
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of Booksy that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull clients, appointments, services and stock out of Booksy in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your booking & salon tool data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line Booksy up against PeakSpitz: clients, appointments, services and stock become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside Booksy is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what Booksy shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep Booksy live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your Booksy export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving Booksy
- ⚠
Booksy's marketplace listing and Boost-sourced new clients are a separate channel from your business data. Migrating the management side to PeakSpitz doesn't migrate that presence — plan whether the Booksy app stays live for discovery while repeat bookings and payments move to your own storefront.
- ⚠
Staff commission and pay rules are a configuration decision on the new system, not a line in an export. Write down each stylist's split and rebuild it deliberately — it's also the moment to clean up rules that grew ad-hoc.
- ⚠
Cards saved for memberships and no-show protection stay with the payment layer and don't transfer. Members and package holders re-authorise on PeakSpitz, so sequence the switch just before a billing cycle rather than mid-cycle.
- ⚠
Booksy reviews, ratings and no-show/deposit history live inside the Booksy ecosystem. Treat them as an archive to keep read-only; don't hold up go-live trying to port a review count that's tied to the marketplace.
Common questions about leaving Booksy
Booksy brings us new clients — do we give that up?
No, and you shouldn't dismiss it: marketplace discovery is Booksy's strongest card. You can keep the listing running for new-client acquisition while operations, repeat bookings, stock and accounting move to PeakSpitz, then decide later how much you still need it.
We pay per stylist on Booksy — how does PeakSpitz price?
PeakSpitz includes unlimited users on every plan, so adding a chair or a Saturday junior doesn't change the bill. You're paying for the platform, not per seat.
What about our online booking link customers already use?
You move online booking onto your own PeakSpitz storefront and domain. Update the link in your bio and confirmations before go-live; the marketplace link can stay as a second front door for as long as it's useful.
