Switching to Bare Links
The move is our job, not yours.
A launch team that has done this in a real studio audits, migrates, rehearses and goes live with you. Members keep their cards, credits and history.
The concierge switch
We move your studio. You never touch a spreadsheet.
Other platforms hand you CSV templates and a help-centre link. We assign you a launch team that has done this in a real studio: ours.
- 1
Audit
We map your members, packs, memberships, schedules and payment flows from your current platform, and agree the go-live date with you before anything moves.
- 2
Build and rehearse
Your branded booking portal is configured and themed, your data is migrated, and your team rehearses real scenarios in a sandbox until check-in feels boring.
- 3
Go live, together
We launch with you, on site or on a live line, and stay through the first classes. Members keep their packs, balances and visit history; most never notice the seams.
What moves with you
- Saved cards
- Moved processor to processor through Stripe's official migration service. No member re-enters a card and nobody but Stripe touches the numbers.
- Memberships
- Recreated to renew on each member's original date. No gap in access, no double charge in between.
- Credit balances
- Spendable from day one, with their real expiry dates, not a number members can see but cannot book with.
- Visit history
- Member-since dates and past classes come along, so your front desk still knows its regulars.
- Gift cards
- Outstanding codes are reissued and redeemable on your new portal. Nothing is left owing at the old platform.
- Your members
- A bilingual English and Arabic email invites everyone to their new home, sent in your studio's name.
Rehearsed before your members ever feel it
No go-live until the migration report reconciles line by line and your front desk signs off. After launch, the same team stays one WhatsApp message away, on Gulf hours, in Arabic and English.
Compare
Built for the UAE. Not adapted to it.
Global platforms price in dollars, settle overseas, sell features as add-ons and support from another timezone. Here is the difference, line by line.
Pricing model
Global platforms: USD subscription plus platform fees of 2% to 4% per booking on some plans.
Bare Links: Flat monthly subscription in AED, 0% taken from bookings.
What is included
Global platforms: Reporting, staff accounts and even the inbox sold as paid add-ons.
Bare Links: No paid add-ons. Reporting, staff roles, exports and spot selection are standard.
Privilee and ClassPass
Global platforms: A paper tally at the desk and a spreadsheet at month end.
Bare Links: Logged at the desk, capped per class, reconciled with a monthly export.
Tax compliance
Global platforms: Generic receipts. VAT stays your spreadsheet problem.
Bare Links: FTA tax invoices and 5% VAT built into every payment.
Settlement
Global platforms: Multi-currency payouts routed through overseas processors.
Bare Links: AED payouts straight to your UAE bank account.
Support
Global platforms: Offshore email queues working US or EU hours.
Bare Links: A person on WhatsApp, Gulf hours, Arabic and English.
Migration
Global platforms: CSV templates and help-centre articles.
Bare Links: Done for you, rehearsed in a sandbox, launched together.
Saved cards when you switch
Global platforms: Locked at the old provider; members re-type their card details.
Bare Links: Migrated processor to processor. Members never re-enter a card.
Your data
Global platforms: Exports on request, on their timeline.

Bare Links: Yours alone. Your brand end to end, no cross-selling.
Switching questions
What happens when you move.
The questions every owner asks before leaving their current platform, answered by the team that runs the migration.
How long does switching from Mindbody, Glofox or Momence take?
Weeks, not months. We audit your current setup, migrate and rehearse in a sandbox, then go live together, and we agree the exact timeline with you before anything starts. Your studio never closes and your schedule never goes dark.
What happens to existing memberships and class packs?
They come with you. Remaining credits, pack balances, visit history and joining dates are migrated and reconciled before go-live, and memberships are re-established on their existing terms. Members keep exactly what they paid for.
Do my members have to re-register?
No re-purchasing, no starting over. Their profiles and balances are carried across; they simply sign in on your new booking portal and pick up where they left off. We send every member a bilingual English and Arabic email, in your studio's name, showing them the way in.
Will members have to re-enter their card details?
No. Saved cards move processor to processor through Stripe's official card-migration service; neither we nor you ever see a card number. Each auto-renewing membership is then recreated to bill on its original renewal date, so nobody is double-charged and nobody re-types a card.
