Send your exports to Bella Booking
Email your exported files to our onboarding team. We will import your clients, validate the data, and help set up your services and team schedules.
A note on appointment history
We generally recommend not importing old appointment history. Importing past appointments can trigger unintended automated messages (reminders, review requests, reminders to rebook, follow-up messages) and cause data inconsistencies. Your clients and services are the essential data for a clean start. If you do want some history carried over, we recommend a tight recent range (e.g. the last 3 months), and our migration team will ensure no notifications are sent accidentally.
Good to know
The standard client list export includes basic fields only (name, mobile, email). Appointment history, client notes, and other profile data are not included in the standard export - contact Boulevard support for a full data migration package.

Can't export your data?
No problem, we can work with anything. Screenshots of your service list, a link to your public booking page, a photo of your price board, or even a typed-up list. Send us whatever you have and we will build your account from it.
Need help with the migration?
Our team will handle the data import, set up your services, and walk you through everything. Onboarding help is free on every plan, and data migration is free on Starter and Professional. We accept data in any format: CSV, Excel, screenshots, photos, links, or anything else you can send.

Common questions about switching
Will I lose my client data?
No. Export your client list from Boulevard (we provide step-by-step instructions), then our team will import it into Bella Booking for you. Free onboarding is included on every plan, and free data migration on Starter and Professional.
How long does the switch take?
We handle the data import and help you through setup. Allow an hour or two for the rest.
Do I need to cancel my Boulevard subscription first?
We recommend running both systems in parallel for a few days to ensure a smooth transition. Cancel your Boulevard subscription once you're confident everything is working.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No. There is no lock-in. You can cancel any time, and you keep the plan until the end of the period you have already paid for. Professional can also be billed yearly.
