How to switch from HoneyBook, step by step

Takes most freelancers under an hour from export to working in Kwill.

  1. 1

  5. 5

    Set up your workspace

    Add your proposal templates, connect your payment method (Stripe), and configure your client portal branding. This takes most freelancers under an hour.

Instant FAQ Assistant
Answers from our help docs
What HoneyBook data can I import into Kwill?
Kwill can import client records and deals from a HoneyBook export file. You export your data from HoneyBook's Settings, then upload that file on Kwill's import page — Kwill parses it and lets you review the records before confirming.
Will my HoneyBook files, automations, and templates transfer?
No. Client-data import covers client records and deals, not files, documents, workflows, automations, templates, or account settings. Those need to be recreated in Kwill. Plan for that setup time when scheduling your switch.
