How to copy Wix Bookings services to another Wix site

By Kayabyte

Full disclosure: we make Copy Bookings to Another Site, the app in option 3.

You can't move a Wix Bookings setup from one site to another with a button. Wix lists it as a feature request and says: "Currently, you cannot transfer your Wix Bookings App from one site to another." So what are the options?

Option 1: duplicate the whole site

In the dashboard, use the Site Actions menu and choose Duplicate Site. Wix's article lists what a duplicate does not carry over: store orders and invoices, contacts and members, settings for third-party apps, email campaigns and some other items. It doesn't say what happens to your Bookings services, so open the duplicate and check them before relying on it.

You get the whole site, design included. If you only want the Bookings setup on a site that already has its own design, it is the wrong tool.

Option 2: rebuild by hand

Install Wix Bookings on the new site and create each category, service, policy and staff member again, then set working hours and the sessions of each class or course. For a handful of services this is an afternoon. For an agency that sets up the same salon or studio on many client sites, or a business with one site per location, it is the same afternoon every time, and details drift between sites.

Option 3: copy the setup with an app

Copy Bookings to Another Site reads the setup on one of your sites and creates it on another. It copies services of all three types (appointments, classes, courses) with price, duration, capacity, description and images, categories, booking policies, staff and their custom working hours, and upcoming sessions. Optionally the default business hours too.

How it works: install the app and Wix Bookings on both sites. On the old site click Show code. On the new site enter the code, read the check (what will be created, what already exists, what can't be copied) and click Copy now. A report lists what was copied and what was skipped.

What it does not do: it never copies bookings, customers or members, and not pricing plans, custom booking forms, add-ons, price options, rooms and equipment or business locations. Services that depend on those are listed in the check with the reason. If the two sites use different currencies, paid services are not copied. It only adds to the new site and matches existing items by name (staff by email), so you can run it again after changing the old site.

Free: the check plus 3 services per site. Paid: $29 one-time for 30 services or $79 one-time for any number.

Which one?

• Same site design with a new name: duplicate the site and check Bookings in the copy.
• One or two services: rebuild by hand.
• Many sites, or many services, staff and hours: use an app.
