A realistic plan, step by step. Nothing here needs to happen in a hurry.
Download the full client list from the Customers report under Reports → Marketing and export the relevant Insights spreadsheets. Reconcile remaining credits, memberships, balances and future bookings separately. The checked billing and pricing pages do not publish studio cancellation or notice terms, so get those terms and export access confirmed before closing the account. (Sources 57, 58, 2, checked 25 Sep 2026.)
Create your class types, recurring classes, membership plans, packs and staff roles, so the structure is ready before members arrive.
Bring member records across with a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) import, and check the imported records before you use them.
Saved cards and recurring set-ups usually can’t be moved between payment providers, so plan how members will pay their next fee through StudioFly.
Pick a quiet week, tell members the date and what changes for them, and move bookings over on that day. How long it takes depends on your member count, your plans and how much history you move.
