“When Pabau 2 was first announced, I was so excited for the upgrade, and so took the plunge at the first opportunity. What an upgrade it is.
“Whilst some final developments continue to take place, I was able to seamlessly make the switch with any pending developments going unnoticed. Pabau 2 is so much more user friendly, from set-up to the new features, I signed up a second business of mine. I highly recommend the switch to all users.”
Let’s cover the step-by-step journey of switching to Pabau 2.
There are four main steps involved, which we outline below. However, the main thing that we want to highlight is that the switch requires your cooperation and participation. We need you to complete the required steps as quickly as you can so that we can make sure that the experience is as smooth as seamless as possible.

There are five key steps you must complete before your switch. We can’t stress enough how crucial these tasks are to switching successfully.
The first thing to note is that Pabau 2 behaves very differently from Pabau 1.
Some features have new names and some may have disappeared entirely! We’ve put together a detailed guide which walks you through the main differences. Also, check out the roadmap so you can see what features are currently ready to be used and which ones are in development.

The Pabau Academy is crucial for understanding how Pabau 2 looks and feels.

Everyone who uses Pabau in your team needs to know that you’re going to be switching to Pabau 2. We strongly encourage that your whole team reviews the training resources and complete the Get Started course on the Pabau Academy, so that they know what to expect.
Your team will receive emails directing them to the resources.
Estimated time required: 15 minutes
We’ve highlighted several resources and materials for you to read or watch to assist with your switch. The best way to approach the upgrade is the same way you would any other learning or development endeavour, by blocking out your calendar and allocating a dedicated amount of time to it.
Total estimated time required: 3 hours 30 minutes
As we’ve explained, switching software can feel daunting.
If you’ve used the current system for a long time, jumping into a new one is going to feel very unfamiliar. We want to help you hit the ground running, but it’s a real team effort…
It’s important to know what to expect from the system. That means reviewing our roadmap and guide explaining the differences between the systems, so it isn’t a surprise when you find a Pabau 1 feature looks different in Pabau 2.
We’ve put together a lot of helpful resources, including the Pabau 2 Academy, so that you can familiarize yourself with the system before you go switch.
We have an experienced team who can help to smooth out the process and resolve any issues. Make sure you lean on us to steer you through it!
The last thing you want is to log into Pabau 2 for the first time and be surprised. Learning how Pabau 2 behaves differently to Pabau 1 is crucial.
If your schedule won’t allow you any time to fit in the training or to review the resources, it will mean that the transition to the system is more challenging.
We can’t stress enough how important this call is! We’ll help you configure your account and pull through your settings from Pabau 1 into Pabau 2.
