Can I move my tours from Checkfront?
Yes. Bring your tours across with the importer or set them up in the console, add redirects from your old links, and switch your domain when you're ready. We'll help you plan the move.
Can I keep selling on other channels while I switch from Checkfront?
Yes. Build and test your Tourtify site on its free address first. Resellers can connect through OCTO, and agents get their own links, so nothing stops while you move.

No. Monthly plans have no long-term contract, and you can export your bookings at any time.
