Congratulations on your new Squarespace store! In this article, we’ll show you how to add a store to your site and start selling products.
There are two ways to add a store to your Squarespace site: by using the Commerce platform, or by using the Storefront API.
If you’re using the Commerce platform, you can add a store by going to your Site Manager and selecting “Commerce.” From there, you’ll be able to add products, set up payment methods, and configure shipping options.
First and foremost, if you are not careful, it is possible to add a store to your account without realizing it. This can happen if you click on a link in an email or on a website that takes you to a Squarespace page that has a “Add Store” button. If you accidentally click this button, your Squarespace account will be automatically upgraded to a paid subscription that includes the eCommerce features needed to run a store.

In addition to the monthly subscription fee for the eCommerce features, you will also need to pay transaction fees for each order processed through your store. These transaction fees can add up quickly, so make sure you factor them into your overall budget for running a store on Squarespace.

If you’re using the Storefront API, you can add a store by creating a “store” object in your site’s code. For more information on how to do this, please see our documentation.
