Switching takes an afternoon, not a weekend
1. Export your customers from iCertifi as a CSV.
2. Import it in CertBox: Customers → Import CSV. Match your columns to ours: any export format works.
3. Or skip both steps: email the export to paddy@certbox.app and the founder sets your account up for you, usually within a day.
And if CertBox isn’t for you, everything exports back out. Read the CertBox data promise.
