Step 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.
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.
Every other platform hands you CSV templates and a help-center link. We assign you a launch team that has done this in a real studio — ours.
Step 2
Build & rehearse
Your branded booking site is configured and themed, your data is migrated, and your team rehearses real scenarios in a sandbox until check-in feels boring.
Step 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 ever 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 can't 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 site — no IOUs left at the old platform.
Your members
A bilingual English–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.

Switching questions
What actually happens when you move.
The questions every owner asks before leaving their current platform — answered by the team that runs the migration.
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.
