How to import data

Data Import is a wizard for bringing historical or bulk records into the current location. Imported bookings do not send customer emails or in-app notifications, which is what you want for a cutover.

  • Supported types: Items, Customers, Bookings, Memberships, Products, Assets, Gift Voucher Types, Gift Vouchers, and Waivers.
  • Wizard steps: Type, Upload, Map Columns, Defaults, Preview, Validate, Import, Summary.
  • Download a CSV template for the type you chose so required columns match what the importer expects.
  • Map your file headers to platform fields. Unmapped required fields must be filled with defaults or the row will fail validation.
  • Preview a sample, validate the full file, then import. The summary shows created, skipped, and error rows.
  • Import items and customers before bookings so reservations can attach to real catalog and guest records.

Tips

  • Save the tab you are on before switching tabs so formatting or identity edits are not left unsaved.
  • Set Primary Timezone and each location timezone before you publish availability.
  • Write reschedule and cancel policies in plain language, then enable the confirmation-page and email displays so guests see them before they book.
  • Generate a new calendar feed URL if an old link was shared too widely.
