Switching from Mangomint?
We make it easy. Free data migration and 1-on-1 onboarding included with every plan.
How to switch from Mangomint
Step-by-step guide to export your data and move to Bella Booking. We offer free data migration and 1-on-1 onboarding with every plan.
- 1
Export your client list
Open the Clients app on desktop > Options > (apply filters if needed) > Download. This exports a CSV of your client data. Note: this is only available in the desktop app, not mobile.
- 2
Export sales data
Open the Sales app > Options > Download. This exports sales data as CSV. Admin user permissions are required.
- 3
Export reports
Go to the Reports section > select a report (e.g., Sales by Staff, Payment Details) > export to Excel or PDF.
- 4
Send your exports to Bella Booking
Email your exported files to our onboarding team. We will import your clients, validate the data, and help set up your services and team schedules.
A note on appointment history
We generally recommend not importing old appointment history. Importing past appointments can trigger unintended automated messages (reminders, follow-ups) 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) — our migration team will ensure no notifications are sent accidentally.
Good to know
Client export is only available in the desktop app — not the mobile app. Admin user permissions are required for sales exports. Reports are predefined (no custom report builder).
Official export documentation: Mangomint 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 — included free with every plan. We accept data in any format — CSV, Excel, screenshots, photos, links, or anything else you can send.
