Migration Steps

Export or Record Your 10to8 Setup
Export your customer list and appointment data if your plan allows, and note each appointment type and reminder setting. SchedulingKit has no import tool and no CSV client import. Your export is for your own records: you'll use it to recreate services, check nothing is missed and email clients your new link.
💡 Tips:
- •Screenshot each service's duration, price and settings
- •List the upcoming appointments already booked in 10to8
- •Save your client contact list for your announcement email
Create Your SchedulingKit Account and Choose a Plan
Sign up free, then pick the plan that matches what you use in 10to8. Standard ($12 per seat per month) adds online payments, SMS reminders, Workflows, reviews and the client portal; Pro ($20) adds Round Robin and Collective scheduling, recurring bookings, packages, gift cards, Zapier and the API. The Free plan covers one team member and one calendar connection.
💡 Tips:
- •Paid plans start with a 14-day trial
- •Check which features you rely on before choosing a plan
Recreate Your Services
Create each service by hand with its duration, price and location, and choose One-on-One or Group (with a capacity). Set the cancellation deadline and minimum notice clients must respect when they reschedule or cancel.
💡 Tips:
- •Start with your most-booked service
- •Set reminder timing per service
Add Staff, Hours and Calendars
Invite team members, set each person's working hours and days off (per location if you have several), and connect Google, Outlook or Apple iCloud calendars so busy times block availability. Connect Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or use Google Meet through Google Calendar, for virtual appointments.
💡 Tips:
- •Connect calendars before sharing your link to avoid double-bookings
- •Clients can pick a team member or Any Available
Connect Payments and Reminders
On Standard and above, connect Stripe, PayPal or Square and choose full payment or a deposit per service; remaining balances are invoiced, never charged automatically. Stripe cancellations refund in full automatically; PayPal and Square refunds are manual. Turn on email reminders and SMS reminders for clients who opt in.
💡 Tips:
- •Recurring packages bill through Stripe only
- •SMS credits are included per seat each month
Test, Switch Links and Run Both Tools in Parallel
Make a test booking end to end, including payment and reminders. Then replace your 10to8 links with your SchedulingKit link, inline embed, popup widget or button link, and email regular clients the new link. Keep 10to8 active until the appointments already booked there are finished, then cancel.
💡 Tips:
- •Update your website, email signature, Google Business Profile and social links
- •Don't cancel 10to8 until its last booked appointment has passed
