How to switch from Jane App
Step-by-step guide to export your data and move to Bella Booking. We offer free onboarding on every plan, and free data migration on Starter and Professional.
- 1
Export your patients
Settings → Import/Export → Export Patients. Exports CSV with contact details, insurance info, and demographics. Chart notes are exported separately.
- 2
Export your appointments
Settings → Import/Export → Export Appointments. Select a date range. Includes practitioner, service, date, time, status, and notes.
- 3
Note your service types and pricing
Settings → Disciplines & Treatments. Screenshot or list your treatment types, durations, and prices for each discipline.
- 4
Export financial records (optional)
Settings → Import/Export → Export Invoices. Useful for financial records but not required for migration.
- 5
Email everything to hello@bellabooking.com
Send the CSVs plus your service list. We validate, dedupe, and import everything within one business day, then walk you through your new system.
A note on appointment history
We generally recommend not importing old appointment history. Importing past appointments can trigger unintended automated messages (reminders, review requests, reminders to rebook, follow-up messages) and cause data inconsistencies. Your clients and services are the essential data for a clean start. If you do want some history carried over, we recommend a tight recent range (e.g. the last 3 months), and our migration team will ensure no notifications are sent accidentally.
Good to know
Export whatever your Jane account gives you (Excel, CSV, PDF, or a folder of documents) and send it with the rest. Bella imports treatment and SOAP notes as timeline notes on the right client, dated to the appointment and credited to the practitioner who wrote them; completed forms, invoices and photos land as files on the client record. Bella is not a clinical charting system, so anything you need in a clinical format should stay with your records archive. Insurance billing history stays with your insurance provider.
Official export documentation: Jane App help centre
Can't export your data?
No problem, we can work with anything. Screenshots of your service list, a link to your public booking page, a photo of your price board, or even a typed-up list. Send us whatever you have and we will build your account from it.
Need help with the migration?
Our team will handle the data import, set up your services, and walk you through everything. Onboarding help is free on every plan, and data migration is free on Starter and Professional. We accept data in any format: CSV, Excel, screenshots, photos, links, or anything else you can send.
