Adding ecommerce to Squarespace is simple and straightforward. There are two ways to do it: using the built-in ecommerce functionality, or using an external ecommerce platform.
If you want to use the built-in ecommerce functionality, all you need to do is sign up for a Business Plan. This will give you access to all the features you need to start selling online, including product pages, a shopping cart, and secure checkout.
Before adding ecommerce to your Squarespace website, be sure to do your research and understand what features and tools you’ll be missing out on. Additionally, be prepared to invest time and money into customizing your Squarespace website to make it work for your business. While Squarespace may lack some ecommerce features, with the right customization it can still be a powerful selling platform.
If you want to use an external ecommerce platform, there are a few things you need to do. First, you’ll need to find an ecommerce platform that integrates with Squarespace (we recommend Shopify).
Then, you’ll need to create a product page on your Squarespace site and add a buy button that links to your Shopify store. That’s it!
Both methods are easy to set up and use, so it really comes down to personal preference. If you’re not sure which method is right for you, we recommend trying out the built-in ecommerce functionality first. You can always switch to an external ecommerce platform later if you decide it’s not right for you.
Adding ecommerce to Squarespace is a simple process that can be accomplished in one of two ways – by using the built-in ecommerce functionality or by integrating with an external platform.
The built-in option is available for those on the Business Plan and gives access to features like product pages, shopping carts, and secure checkout. For those wanting to integrate with an external platform, we recommend Shopify as it integrates seamlessly with Squarespace.
The process for adding an external platform only requires creating a product page on your Squarespace site and adding a buy button that links directly to your Shopify store.
There is no wrong answer when deciding which method works best for you as both are easy to set up and use. If you’re unsure which route is best suited for your needs, try out the built-in option first and then switch if needed.
