Will my clients notice?
Only that the booking page looks like your shop now. Their upcoming appointments stay put, and the link keeps working through the switch.
What happens to bookings already in the diary?
They stay in your old system and go ahead exactly as booked — until your go-live date the changeover portal sends anyone booking for an earlier date straight back there. If your old platform exports appointments, you can bring future ones into ClipBook as well, ticking off each one as you go.
Can I text my client list on day one?
Not immediately, and that is on purpose. Marketing consent does not transfer between platforms, so ClipBook flags everyone who was opted in and invites them to re-consent. Once they say yes, the list is properly yours.
What if the import is wrong?
You see the draft before anything lands, and nothing applies without your confirmation. Get it wrong and you can review again before going live.
Do I have to stop taking bookings?
No. Your old system keeps running right up to your go-live date, so there is no gap where the shop cannot be booked.
How long does it actually take?
Most shops are through the wizard in an afternoon. The waiting is on you choosing a go-live date, not on us.
Does it cost extra?
No. Switchboard is part of both plans, and the 30-day trial gives you time to move before you pay anything.
Can I keep my old system running alongside?
Until your go-live date, yes. After it, bookings land in ClipBook — running two live diaries is how double-bookings happen.
