5 min read

Your business data belongs to you. Bella Booking makes it easy to export client lists, sales data, timesheets, product catalogues, and calendar feeds so you can use them in spreadsheets, accounting software, or external calendars.

This guide walks through each export option, what data is included, and practical uses for each.

Why export your data

Common reasons salon owners export their data:

  • Regular backups for peace of mind
  • Sharing client lists with marketing tools for email or SMS campaigns
  • Sending sales data to your accountant or bookkeeper
  • Tracking team hours for payroll processing
  • Syncing your schedule with a personal calendar app (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar)
  • Inventory management in a separate spreadsheet or ordering system

Client list export

Export your entire client database as a CSV file. The export includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and join dates.

  1. 1Go to the Clients section
  2. 2Click the Export CSV button at the top of the client table
  3. 3The file downloads immediately with all active clients

Use the client export to build mailing lists, run marketing campaigns, or keep an offline backup of your client contacts.

Sales and revenue exports

Sales data can be exported from the Reports section. The export includes transaction details, payment methods, service and product breakdowns, and team member attribution.

  1. 1Go to Dashboard & Reports
  2. 2Select the report you want to export (e.g. Sales report)
  3. 3Set your date range and any filters
  4. 4Click the Export button to download as CSV

This is particularly useful for sharing with your accountant or importing into accounting software for tax preparation.

Timesheet export

If you use attendance tracking (Professional plan), you can export timesheet data for payroll processing.

  1. 1Go to the Team section and select Attendance
  2. 2Set the date range for the pay period
  3. 3Click Export to download the timesheet as a CSV
  4. 4The export includes clock-in/out times, total hours, and late arrival flags

Export timesheets at the end of each pay period to keep accurate records and simplify payroll.

iCal calendar feed

Each team member has an iCal feed URL that can be added to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any other calendar app that supports iCal subscriptions.

  1. 1Go to the Team section
  2. 2Open a team member's profile
  3. 3Copy the iCal feed URL
  4. 4Add it as a subscription in your calendar app

The calendar updates automatically as appointments are added, changed, or cancelled. This is a one-way sync — changes in the external calendar are not reflected in Bella Booking.

Product list export

Export your product catalogue as a CSV file for inventory management, ordering, or record-keeping.

  1. 1Go to the Products section
  2. 2Click the Export CSV button
  3. 3The file includes product names, brands, prices, costs, SKUs, and stock levels

Use the product export alongside the bulk import feature to manage your catalogue in a spreadsheet and re-import when you've made updates.

Key takeaways

  • Client lists, sales data, timesheets, and product catalogues can all be exported as CSV
  • iCal feeds let you sync team schedules with external calendar apps
  • Exports are useful for backups, payroll, accounting, and marketing
  • All exports are one-way — changes in external tools are not synced back
  • Regular exports are a good habit for data safety and compliance
