Switching to Paddli? We do the moving.
Whatever runs your bookings today, another platform, a Facebook inbox, a spreadsheet or a paper diary, we move you across and your customers carry on booking.
What We Do for You
Jamie or Helen handle the switch with you. You check everything over before it goes live.
Set Up Your Account and Fields
Sessions, prices, availability, buffer times, field rules and customer messages, all built for you from what you use today. You review it on your phone before anything goes live.
Bring Your Customers Across
Names, emails and phone numbers come with you, so your regulars are already in your customer list on day one.
Load Your Upcoming Bookings
Anything already booked is in Paddli before you go live, marked as paid, so nobody books or pays twice and your calendar is right from the first day.
Set Up Your Regulars
Weekly slots are recreated so your regulars keep their time without rebooking. New regulars set up their own weekly or fortnightly bookings and pay automatically.
Keep Your Website and Your Gate
Swap the booking button on your site, embed the widget, or use your own domain. An existing gate code carries over and goes out in every reminder.
Go Live on Your Day
Everything is built in draft while your old system keeps running. We switch it on when you say, and we are on hand that week.
How the Switch Works
Four steps, and we do most of them
Tell Us What You Use
Send the form below or book a call. Fifteen minutes is enough for us to understand your field, your prices and how your customers book today.
We Build It, You Check It
We set up your fields, sessions and messages in draft and bring your customers across. You look it over on your phone and tell us what to change.
Pick a Go-Live Day
We load your upcoming bookings and regulars. We help you tell your customers, and you swap the booking link wherever it lives.
Live
New bookings come through Paddli. We are on hand that week for anything that comes up. Close the old system once its last booking has passed.
Things to Know Before You Switch
The honest version, so there are no surprises
-
Getting Paid
We set up your Stripe payouts with you, which takes about five minutes. Bookings taken through Paddli pay out to your bank from day one. Your old provider still pays out anything it owes you from before the switch.
-
Telling Your Customers
We help you plan what to say and when. You send it from wherever you reach your customers today, whether that is email, a Facebook group or a sign on the gate.
-
Your Booking History
Past bookings stay in your old system. Export them before you close that account and keep the file somewhere safe. Everything from go-live onwards is in Paddli.
Switching FAQ
How long does switching take?
You choose the go-live day and we work to it. Most switches are ready within a week of the first call, and a simple field with a handful of upcoming bookings can be faster.
Will my customers notice?
They notice a better booking page. Upcoming bookings carry over, regulars keep their slots, and the only thing that changes is the link they book from. Anyone with a booking already made does not need to do anything.
Does my booking history come across?
No. We bring your customer list and your upcoming bookings into Paddli, but past bookings stay in your old system. Export your history before you close that account, and keep the export somewhere safe.
What does the switch cost?
Nothing. Setting you up, loading your bookings and helping you go live are all included. Paddli charges 5% per successful booking, the same as every other host, with no setup fee, monthly fee or fixed-term contract.
Can I keep my website and domain?
Yes. Keep your site and swap the booking button for your Paddli link, embed the booking widget on a page you already have, or run the whole booking page on your own domain. Your choice, and we set up whichever you pick.
Can I keep my gate code or smart lock?
Yes. An existing gate code carries over and is sent to customers in their reminder before each visit. If you use an igloohome smart lock, we connect it so codes are generated per booking. Other locks can keep working with a fixed code.
Does it matter what I use now?
No. Another booking platform, a Facebook inbox, WhatsApp, a spreadsheet or a paper diary, we have moved fields across from all of them. Tell us what you use and we take it from there.
Can I run both systems for a while?
During the handover, yes, while we build Paddli in the background. Once you go live, pick one place for new bookings so nothing gets double booked. Close the old system once its last booking has passed.
