Switching

Moving from Flynax

Yclas reads a Flynax database export directly.

Export your Flynax database as a .sql or .sql.gz file, the kind phpMyAdmin or your hosting panel makes.
Start a free trial, choose "I already have a site" in the sign-up wizard, and upload the export in Move your site to Yclas.
Match the fields, check the dry run (a preview with any errors, nothing is saved yet), then import.

Your listings come across with their categories, prices and photos, and so do user accounts. Passwords are not copied: imported users set a new one. Photos come from a ZIP of your files or from your old site's addresses. You can undo the latest import within 7 days.
