Introduction to importing bookings

The Booking Import feature lets you upload and manage existing or external bookings in bulk - saving time when transitioning from another system or consolidating offline reservations into Checkfront. Importing ensures your booking history, Customer Data, and revenue data remain complete and reportable in your account.
