Prepare the file
Gako accepts CSV and Excel (XLSX) spreadsheets. The first row holds column headers: name, phone, e-mail and any other fields you have.
If your clients are in a notebook, copy them into Google Sheets or Excel and download it as XLSX. If they're in another app, export clients to a file from its settings — most booking apps can do that.
Upload your clients
Import lives in «Customers».
- Open «Customers» → the «Import and export» menu → «Import from file» and choose the file.
- Match the columns to client fields. A name is required, plus a phone or an e-mail (or both). If first and last names are in separate columns, pick both — they'll be joined with a space. Mark columns you don't need as «Skip column».
- Check the preview and start the import.
- The result shows how many clients were loaded and which rows weren't — with the reason, so you can fix them and upload again.
Upload your services
Services are uploaded the same way, through «Import services». A name is required; without a price the service is free and lasts 60 minutes by default. Up to 200 rows at a time.
Uploaded services are visible to clients straight away, but they can't be booked without staff — assign the specialists who provide them after the import.
Free done-for-you migration
Don't want to deal with files? Send an export from DIKIDI, YCLIENTS or another app, a spreadsheet or even photos of your notebook. The Gako team will move clients, services and specialists for free. Leave a request in the «We'll help you set up» form on the home page.
Your client base stays yours
You can export the client list back to a file at any time — it opens in Excel and Google Sheets and can be imported again. Clients who book online are added to the base automatically.
