How to switch from Treatwell
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
Log into Treatwell Connect > go to Clients > click Export. This downloads a CSV of your client data. Use a computer (not the mobile app) for best results.
- 2
Check your reports
Go to the Reports tab within Treatwell Connect to view and download POS and financial reports.
- 3
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
Treatwell Connect partner help articles may require a partner login for full documentation. Specific appointment history export and full data backup processes are not documented in public-facing articles. Use a computer (not the mobile app) for exports.
Official export documentation: Treatwell help centre

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.
