Migration Process

Five simple steps to move your club data. Most clubs complete the process in under 2 hours.

Step 1

Export Your Data

Export your existing spreadsheet as CSV or Excel. Google Sheets users can download as CSV directly. No special formatting required.

Step 2

Create Your Account

Sign up for ClubNest (free) and configure your club settings — name, branding, membership types, and payment preferences.

Step 3

Map Your Fields

Use the import wizard to match your spreadsheet columns to ClubNest fields. The system auto-detects common fields like name, email, phone and address.

Step 4

Import & Verify

Run the import and review the results. Check a sample of records to verify accuracy. Fix any mapping issues and re-import if needed.

Step 5

Invite Members

Send email invitations to your members so they can claim their accounts, set passwords, and start using self-service features.

Migration FAQ

How long does migration take?
A basic import of member data takes 10-15 minutes. Full migration including historical records, verification, and member invitations typically takes 1-2 hours. If you use our free migration service, we handle it within 24-48 hours.
Will I lose any data during migration?
No. ClubNest imports are non-destructive — your original spreadsheets remain untouched. You can verify all data before going live. If anything doesn't look right, undo and re-import.
Do I need technical skills to migrate?
No. The import wizard guides you through field mapping with a drag-and-drop interface. Or simply email us your spreadsheet and we'll handle the entire process — completely free.
What file formats are supported?
ClubNest supports CSV (.csv), Excel (.xls, .xlsx) file imports. Google Sheets can be exported to CSV directly from File → Download → CSV.
Can I run both systems in parallel during transition?
Absolutely. Many clubs run ClubNest alongside their spreadsheets for a few weeks during transition. There's no pressure to switch overnight — take your time and move at your pace.
What if my spreadsheet has messy or inconsistent data?
The import wizard highlights issues like duplicates, missing fields, and formatting inconsistencies. You can fix them during import or let our team clean up the data as part of our free migration service.
