In five steps, in the order that keeps your shop running: start the trial, ask Shopmonkey for your data, import it, connect CARFAX and Nexpart, then give Shopmonkey notice. From Quotera’s Help Center and Shopmonkey’s own FAQ.
Your first shop runs any paid plan free for 14 days. No credit card, nothing charged when it ends. Texting starts when you subscribe.
Its FAQ says to contact its support team to export your data; after you cancel, access to your account is temporary and by request. Shopmonkey FAQ, “What happens to my data if I leave?”
In Settings, then Import: upload a CSV file, map your columns to Quotera’s fields; customers you already have, with the same email or phone, are flagged and skipped. Customer import comes with every paid plan; vehicle import with Basic and up.
On Basic and up, in Settings, then Connections. Nexpart uses your existing Nexpart login.
On a month-to-month plan, you cancel by speaking with a representative, 30 days before your next billing date. An annual contract stays active to the end of its term. Shopmonkey FAQ, “Can I cancel anytime?”
What stays behind: the import brings customers and vehicles, so past work orders and invoices stay in the records you export from Shopmonkey. If you need them in Quotera, contact support and we will work out the options with you. Free onboarding help if you want it, like a call to walk you through setup. Call (973) 352-0952.
