Moving from Arketa? Let's scope the migration together.

Arketa is a newer platform with a modern UI — we support the core CSV exports (members, plans, bookings), but we haven't tested every edge case. Expect a slightly longer discovery phase while we confirm your export format and processor setup.

Partial — self-service with caveats·Typical timeline: 2-3 weeks

How it works

Three phases. We do the heavy lifting.

Step 1

Export your data

Download your client list, memberships, and booking history from Arketa using our step-by-step guide.

Step 2

Upload to Booking Bible

Our smart importer auto-maps every column to Booking Bible. You review, tweak, and approve.

Step 3

Go live

Start taking bookings in Booking Bible in 2-3 weeks. Run both systems in parallel for extra confidence.

Step 1 · Export

What it looks like in Arketa

Tick the data tables you want to take with you and click Export. Arketa produces CSVs — our wizard reads them directly.

What transfers, what doesn't

Honest breakdown — no surprises on cutover day.

Transfers to Booking Bible

  • Client profiles
  • Active plans & passes
  • Booking & attendance history
  • Saved payment methods
    Processor unverified — if Arketa uses Stripe we can do direct token transfer, otherwise clients re-save their card.

What doesn't transfer

  • Arketa-specific custom fields
    Arketa custom fields can be archived as client notes during import.

Step 2 · Import

What it looks like in BOOKING BIBLE

Upload the Arketa CSVs to our import wizard. Every column auto-maps; you review and confirm. The wizard handles duplicates, encoding, and edge cases.

Let's discuss your processor

We haven't verified Arketa's payment processor. Contact us to discuss the specific card migration path for your setup.

Why studios leave Arketa

Real reasons from studios that made the switch.

  • Mature, battle-tested backend (Booking Bible has been in production since 2024)
  • Multi-location + multi-brand architecture out of the box
  • Comprehensive reporting for VAT-registered studios (we support 7 European VAT profiles)
  • Open REST API with 40+ endpoints for custom integrations

Step 3 · Go live

After migration

Your studio runs on BOOKING BIBLE. Members keep their booking history. Cards keep working. You keep growing.

Frequently asked questions

How long does migration take?+

Depends on the source platform and the size of your data. Most Stripe-native platforms (Glofox, Momence, Wodify) migrate in 1-2 days. Larger platforms like Mindbody or WellnessLiving take 2-3 weeks including the parallel-run phase. See the timeline estimate at the top of each platform page.

Will my clients lose their booking history?+

No. Visit history, attendance, and pass usage transfer automatically. Historical bookings land in a separate history table so they show up on client profiles without cluttering the current schedule.

Do I need to be technical?+

Not at all. Our wizard walks you through every step — export from your current platform, upload the CSV to Booking Bible, review the auto-mapping, then click import. If anything's unclear, our migration team jumps on the line.

Can I run both systems in parallel?+

Yes. We recommend a 1-2 week parallel run where new bookings go through Booking Bible while the old system stays accessible for reference. This catches any edge cases before full cutover.

What happens to my saved payment methods?+

Depends on the source processor. Stripe-to-Stripe is automatic and invisible to clients. Other processors (Frisbii (formerly Reepay), Paysafe, proprietary ones) require either an assisted PAN-to-token migration or a one-time re-entry email. Each platform page explains which applies.

Is there a cost to migrate?+

No. Migration is free on every plan — even the free tier. You pay for Booking Bible once you're ready to go live, not for the migration itself.
