Are you postponing getting started with a new tool? Overwhelmed by the prospect of transitioning everything from your old system into HoneyBook?
We know, it can be daunting; but that's why we have a team dedicated to transferring your existing materials into HoneyBook on your behalf—a service that's available as soon as you become a paid HoneyBook member.
With just a couple minutes of work required from you, our team takes the tedious set-up work off your plate. It's the easiest way to change your business for the better from the very beginning, since members who take advantage of file transformation are up and running within a week.
We'll answer some frequently-asked questions below:

What is this service?
Our complimentary file transformation service allows you to send pieces of your existing business documentation right to our team. Then, we’ll add them to your HoneyBook account in the form of templates—saving you much precious time that might otherwise have been spent on account setup.
You can send us:
Pricing
Packages
Service lists
Contract language
Lead & client questionnaires
Completed spreadsheet (provided by us!) with your existing clients with open invoices
We can accept .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .png, .xls, and .txt files.
Wherever you are in the process of developing your pricing/services, contracts, or questionnaires, we can help. Once we’ve set up your materials, you can edit them however you need! That way, if there's still work to be done, you'll at least have it all in the right place and won't be starting from scratch.

Now, you should see your templates within that folder. And remember that templates are never set in stone—you can click to open any template our team added, review it, and make any changes you need.
Finding pricing, packages, and/or services
Any pricing information that our team added will be available in the Packages tab of your Templates section.
1. From your HoneyBook home page, click the Tools menu and select Templates.
2. Click the Packages tab.
Now, you should see your pricing and packaging templates in that tab! And remember that templates are never set in stone—you can click to open any template our team added, review it, and make any changes you need.
Once you have some package templates in place, you can pull them into any invoice you create in the future.
Finding existing clients with open invoices
If our team transferred any existing projects or clients into HoneyBook for you, you can find them in your project pipeline. They'll be clearly labeled with the primary client's name, and will contain a draft invoice ready to send to your client at your convenience.
We'll even mark past payments as paid, so your Bookkeeping section will reflect all payments made.
1. From your HoneyBook home page, click the Projects tab.
2. Projects will be labeled according to your client's name. Click the project you'd like to review.
3. To find open invoices, click the Files tab in the project. You'll find your draft invoice there, which you can click to open, make any adjustments, and send off.

What if I’m a brand new business?
If you’re totally starting from scratch, that’s okay—you don’t need to upload anything yet. Take your time and use the uploader whenever you’re ready.
And remember: you don’t need to use this service to use HoneyBook, or even to be successful. It’s here to help save you some time and hit the ground running, but you can always DIY it. Pricing and package templates, smart files, and projects are easy for you to create, too!
Can I transfer files directly from my current service to HoneyBook?
Can I transfer files directly from my current service to HoneyBook?
There isn't a way to directly push your account information from another platform to HoneyBook, but you'll likely be able to export your information or save documents as PDFs from wherever they're currently housed. Once you've extracted the materials you need, you can upload them for our team.
Check out the help center for your specific platform for more information on exporting or saving documents as PDFs.
Can I use this service more than once?
Can I use this service more than once?
We allow for 3 uploads in total; once you've uploaded your first round of documents, you'll have 14 days to upload any additional documents you need.
Don't worry, though—we won't leave you hanging after the initial set-up. We're always happy to walk you through creating pricing and package templates, smart files, and projects in the future, or answer any other questions that arise.

I’d rather set my account up myself. Is that okay?
Absolutely! We’ve built HoneyBook to be user-friendly from the start—file transformation is merely an added benefit to take some of the burden off your plate. If you don't quite have everything together yet (or you'd rather just control the process yourself), you can totally DIY it. Pricing and package templates, smart files, and projects are easy to create.
And remember, our robust help center, video tutorials, and Support team will always be on standby should you have any questions.
