Switching
Bring a CSV export from your current system. We map it, import it with you and run both side by side for a week. Moving your products, customers and stock costs nothing.

FAQ
How do I switch florist POS systems?
Export your products, customers and stock as CSV files, map the columns to the new system, import and spot-check, then run both systems side by side for about a week while open orders finish in the old one. With GetFloristPOS the import is free and done with our onboarding team on a call.
How much does switching cost?
Nothing. Moving your products, customers and stock is free, with our onboarding team.
Can I move from Square, Shopify, Floranext or FloristWare?
Yes. Each can export products and customers to CSV. Exports differ slightly; we have mapped them before and will do it on the call.
What about my existing website and online orders?
Your included online store goes live from the imported catalogue. If you have a domain, point it at the new store or at your managed website on go-live day.
Will I lose my wire-network membership?
No. Memberships are with the network, not the POS. We connect your network account by integration on the demo.
When is the best time to switch?
In a quiet stretch, not the three weeks before Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, or the peak of wedding season. Early autumn and January are popular.
Do my staff need training?
A short session. The counter works like any modern POS; we spend most of the time on delivery slots, recipes and events.
Can I go back if it doesn’t work out?
Yes. Your data is exportable at any time, and there is no contract.
Book a switching call and bring your exports. We’ll set the go-live date together.
