- •Note which payment gateways you use (Stripe/PayPal)
- •Export your customer list if Trafft provides an export option
Create SchedulingKit Account

💡 Tips:
- •No WordPress dependency means better reliability
- •Use the same business email for continuity
Recreate Services as Event Types
Create SchedulingKit event types matching your Trafft services — durations, pricing, descriptions, and buffer times.
💡 Tips:
- •Map each Trafft service to an event type
- •Configure payment collection via Stripe
- •Set up custom intake questions matching your Trafft forms
Set Up Staff and Availability
Add team members with their schedules. Connect Google or Outlook calendars for automatic availability sync.
💡 Tips:
- •Real-time calendar sync replaces Trafft's manual availability
- •Set individual service assignments per staff member
- •Configure buffer times between appointments
Update Your Website
Replace Trafft booking pages or shortcodes on your website with SchedulingKit embed links or booking page URLs.
💡 Tips:
- •Use SchedulingKit's embed widget for inline booking
- •Update any buttons or links pointing to Trafft forms
- •Test the booking flow on your live site
Deactivate Trafft
Once SchedulingKit is live and tested, deactivate Trafft. If using the WordPress plugin, deactivate it from your plugins page. If using the SaaS, cancel your subscription.
💡 Tips:
- •Keep a backup before removing the WordPress plugin
- •Deactivate for a week before fully deleting to catch any missed links

Migration Questions
Why move away from Trafft?
Trafft is a capable booking tool, but it lacks AI features like chatbot and voice agent. If you're using the WordPress plugin, your scheduling is also tied to your hosting. SchedulingKit runs independently and includes AI-powered booking automation.
Does SchedulingKit work with WordPress?
Yes — you can embed SchedulingKit booking pages on any WordPress page using a widget or link. It works with WordPress without being dependent on it.
How does the cost compare?
Trafft Basic is $12/month, Pro is $60/month. SchedulingKit Standard is $12/seat/month ($10 annual) and Pro is $20/seat/month ($16 annual) with AI chatbot and voice agent included — features Trafft doesn't offer at any price.
What about my existing customers?
Export your customer list from Trafft and keep their contact details. Send them your new SchedulingKit booking link — the experience will be faster and more modern.
