We can import your clients, bookings, and products from DaySmart so you don’t have to start from scratch. Follow the steps below to export your data and send it to us—then we’ll handle the import. 🪄

ℹ️ Heads-up about DaySmart exports:

Many users report they cannot export everything themselves in DaySmart. In those cases, contact DaySmart Support and request a one-time export. They often send clients/products/services (sometimes gift cards) and occasionally appointments—but frequently only an XML backup we cannot use. If that happens, ask them specifically for CSV or Excel (XLS/XLSX) files for Clients and Appointments.

📦 What We Can Import

  • đź‘Ą Client details

  • đź“… Bookings (appointments)

  • 🧴 Products

You can choose which items to import—no need to send everything.

đź‘Ą Export Your Clients from DaySmart

  1. Click the Reports tab.

  2. Choose Customer Reports.

  3. In Filters, keep All … for each option to include everyone.

  4. Under Include in Report, select as many demographic/details fields as possible.

  5. Run Report and export to Excel.

  6. Email the file to [email protected].

⚠️ If the report is very large: DaySmart may show an alert or time out. Try limiting the date range (or split into multiple exports) and re-run.

đź“… Export Your Bookings from DaySmart

  1. Click the Reports tab.

  2. Select Appointment Report.

  3. Set the date range for the appointments to export.
