Switching made simple

Switch to Avana and bring your clients with you

Export your clients, services and appointments from the system you use now and import them into Avana. Your booking page is ready the same day, and if you get stuck, our team helps by email.

The short answer

How do you switch to Avana?

To switch to Avana, the salon booking software made by Sweeber Technologies, you export your clients, appointments, services and products from your current system as an Excel or CSV file and import them in your Avana dashboard, which works out which column is which. Importing costs nothing extra, Avana takes no commission on bookings, Business costs $20.99 a month including sales tax, and every plan is free for 7 days.

How it works

Three steps, and most of it is done for you

Your part is a download and a check. Avana does the sorting.

01

Export from your current system

Download your clients, appointments, services and products as an Excel or CSV file. Most booking systems have an export button in their settings.

02

Import into Avana

Upload the files in your Avana dashboard. It does not matter which system they come from: Avana works out which column is which.

03

Check and go live

Look over your services, prices and opening hours, make a test booking and share your link. From then on, clients book with you directly.

What comes with you

Your client list, your calendar and your menu

ClientsWith their contact details and the notes you keep about them.
AppointmentsPast and upcoming, so your history and next weeks are in place.
ServicesWith their price and length, ready to book.
ProductsYour retail range, ready for your shop.

Team members and rooms that appear in your appointments are created for you. Tips, product sales, payments and invoices from your old system stay there.

Switching to Avana without the hassle

Switching to Avana means taking your clients, appointments, services and products with you. You export them from your current system as an Excel or CSV file and import them into Avana, which works out which column is which. Coming from Vagaro, GlossGenius or Booksy? Then you also stop paying a share of every new client's first booking, because Avana takes no commission at all.

Your part stays small: one export, one import and a check that everything is right. Then your salon goes live on Avana with a fixed monthly price, no commission and 7 days free with no payment details up front. See pricing, read who Avana is for, or get in touch if you have a question first.

Questions about switching

How long does switching to Avana take?

Most salons are set up in an afternoon. Exporting from your current system takes a few minutes, the import itself is quick, and the rest of the time goes into checking your services, prices and opening hours and making a test booking.

Can I keep my old system running while I switch?

Yes. Set Avana up alongside the system you use now, check that everything is right, and only then send your clients your new booking link. Your old system keeps running for as long as you want it to.

What comes over from my current system?

Your clients with their details and notes, your past and upcoming appointments, your services with price and length, and your products. Team members and rooms that appear in your appointments are created for you. Tips, product sales, payments and invoices from your old system stay there.

Do I need to tell my clients?

Send your regulars one message with your new booking link, and put the link in your Instagram bio and on your Google profile. From then on they book with you directly, and upcoming appointments you imported are already in your calendar.

What does switching cost?

Nothing extra. Importing your data is included in every plan, and the first 7 days are free, with no payment details needed to start.

What if I get stuck?

Email us your export files and tell us what you are trying to do. Someone from our team will take a look and help you get your clients, services and appointments in the right place.
