Switching

From any tool to goldenhour.

Step-by-step migration guides for the platforms artists most often leave. We do the CSV import for you, free, regardless of which one you're on. Most artists are fully switched within 1–3 days.

Coming from somewhere else?

Mindbody, Mangomint, Phorest, StyleSeat, Timely, Tan-Link, GoCheckIn, Reservio: we've done CSV imports from all of them, just haven't written a dedicated guide yet. Email support@goldenhourhq.com with your current platform and we'll walk you through the export personally.

What we always do

The basics, regardless of who you're leaving.

Free CSV import
Clients, appointment history, services, intake answers, photos (when supported by the export). You send the file; we ingest. Dedup by phone is automatic so re-imports from a follow-up export don't double-create.
Booking-link continuity
If you had a vanity URL on the old platform, we'll set up a redirect or a CNAME so existing customer bookmarks keep working. Custom-domain artists (book.yourbrand.com) point the CNAME at us and the same URL flows to the new booking page.
Same-day Stripe Connect
Stripe Connect onboarding takes ~10 min. If you already have a Stripe account, oauth links it. If not, we walk you through tax ID + bank in the same session.
1-on-1 setup call (free)
If you'd rather not click through the dashboard solo, book a 30-min screen-share with Gabriel. We'll do the import, claim your handle, configure your services, and verify a test booking: all on the call. Email to schedule.
