Switching from Vagaro? Here’s how to move your tattoo shop
FTA Booking is a tattoo-only alternative to Vagaro. Assisted Vagaro migration (coming soon). We’ll help move your client list over from Vagaro.
What we’ll move over
- Clients: names, phone, email and notes
- Upcoming appointments
- Past appointment history where Vagaro makes it available (may be partial)
- Services, prices and artists, set up in FTA Booking during onboarding
What doesn’t transfer
- Gift cards and packages
- Old signed forms. Clients sign fresh FTA Booking forms before their next visit.
- Saved payment cards
How the switch works
- Book a demo. We look at how your shop books today.
- Export your customers from Vagaro. You download your customer export from your Vagaro account.
- We set up your shop. Artists, services, prices and forms go into FTA Booking during onboarding, and our assisted import (coming soon) brings your client list in.
- Run both side by side. Keep Vagaro running until FTA Booking feels right.
- Switch your booking links last. Update Instagram, Google and your website once you’re ready.
Why tattoo shops look for a Vagaro alternative
Online booking pages for your shop and every artist
Each shop gets a booking page, and each artist gets their own link. Clients see live availability, pick flash designs or services, and book in English or Spanish. A double-booking guard keeps two clients out of the same slot.
Multi-artist shops, set up the way you pay
Owner and artist roles, invite links for new artists, and commission, booth-rent or solo payout models.
E-sign forms before the visit
Consent, medical, minor/guardian, photo release, aftercare and future-contact forms. The signing link goes out by email and text before the appointment, and signed copies are saved as PDFs. FTA Booking does not store medical data.
Flat Studio pricing
$200/mo for the whole shop with unlimited artists.
