# Move your regulars off Booksy and into your own app.

Source: https://meetscarlet.com/switch-from-booksy/
Updated: 2026-11-13

To switch from Booksy, send us your client list as a CSV; our team imports it, sets up your barbers and prices, and builds your shop's own app. Keep Booksy running until then: your web app can take bookings within days of setup, and Booksy is month to month. Saved cards and booking history stay in Booksy, so a client who pays in your app adds a card once.

- Moves: Your client list: name, email or phone, and tags

- Set up by us: Your barbers, services and prices, memberships, tips and the walk-in line

- Carried over by us: Each client's active membership or package

- Stays in Booksy: Booking history, saved cards and your Booksy reviews

- Clients do: Download your app and sign in with a code sent to their email

- Web app: Within days of setup

- Store apps: About 4 to 6 weeks after your Apple and Google developer accounts are ready

- Price: $349 a month, plus 1% of card payments

## What your clients get instead

Two minutes on your shop's own app: booking by barber at that barber's prices, the walk-in line from their phone, and how our team builds and publishes it under your name.

## What moves from Booksy, and what doesn’t

| What | What happens | Who does it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Client list | Imported from a CSV: name, email or phone, and tags. You see every row before anything is saved. | Us, with your file |
| Barbers, services and prices | Set up in MeetScarlet from your Booksy menu, each barber with their own services and prices | Us, during setup |
| Memberships and packages | Rebuilt as MeetScarlet plans, with your names and prices | Us, during setup |
| Active memberships and packages | Carried over: a membership to the day it's paid through, a package with its visits left | Us, during setup |
| Walk-in line | Turned on in your app, so clients join the line from their phone with a wait estimate | Us, during setup |
| Saved cards | Don't transfer. A client who pays in your app adds a card once. | Your clients |
| Booking history and reviews | Stay in Booksy | Nothing to do |

To get your client list, send us what Booksy Biz exports, or ask Booksy's support for a CSV of your clients. A spreadsheet you keep yourself works too. Every step of the move is on [our migration page](https://meetscarlet.com/migration/).

## How long the switch takes

- **Day 0.** You choose a plan and send us your client list, your barbers, your services and prices, your logo and your colors.

- **Within days.** We import your clients and set up your shop. Your web app can take bookings within days of setup. Start sending your regulars to it.

- **About 4 to 6 weeks after your Apple and Google developer accounts are ready.** Your iPhone and Android apps go live in the stores under your shop's name. Start Apple's enrollment on day one; most of the wait is there.

Clients keep the same account when the store apps arrive: they sign in with the same email.

## Moving your regulars over

- Change the booking link in your Instagram bio and on Google to your new booking page, so new bookings land with you
- Tell your regulars at the chair, and show them your shop's name in the App Store once the apps are live
- Keep Booksy open until your regulars have moved, then cancel: its pricing page says "No commitment" and "Cancel anytime", read November 13, 2026
