Can You Make a Marketplace on Squarespace?

Last updated on December 21, 2022 @ 5:39 pm

The internet has become a marketplace for nearly everything. You can find anything from clothes to books to furniture all with a few clicks. So, can you make a marketplace on Squarespace?

The quick answer is no. Squarespace is not built to be a marketplace.

You can, however, use Squarespace to build an online store that sells products. If you want to create a marketplace, there are other platforms you can use.

That being said, you can still use Squarespace to sell products. You’ll just need to use a few workarounds to get the functionality you need. In this article, we’ll show you how to:

PRO TIP: Before you create a marketplace on Squarespace, there are a few things you should know. First, Squarespace is not an ecommerce platform, so it lacks some of the features and functionality that you would find on a dedicated ecommerce platform. Second, creating a marketplace on Squarespace requires a bit of coding knowledge, as you’ll need to edit the code to add the requisite functionality. Finally, because Squarespace is not an ecommerce platform, there are no built-in tools for managing orders, payments, or shipping, so you’ll need to find third-party solutions for these tasks.
  • Add a “Buy Now” button to your product pages
  • Create a “Shop” page to display your products
  • Use an app to turn your Squarespace site into a marketplace
