Is Squarespace Good for Digital Products?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:37 am

Squarespace is a popular website builder that allows users to create beautiful websites with no design experience necessary. While it is a great platform for creating traditional websites, is it also good for digital products?

There are a few things to consider when deciding if Squarespace is the right platform for your digital product. First, consider the type of product you are selling.

If you are selling a physical product that will be shipped to customers, Squarespace has great tools for creating an online store. However, if you are selling a digital product, such as an online course or an eBook, you may find that Squarespace’s eCommerce features are not as robust as those offered by other platforms.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that there is currently no ecommerce functionality on Squarespace. This means that if you are planning to sell digital products, you will need to find an alternative platform.

Another thing to consider is the way in which you will be delivering your digital product. If you plan to host your digital product on your own website, Squarespace makes it easy to add a “Buy Now” button to your website. However, if you plan to sell your digital product through an existing marketplace such as iTunes or Amazon, you may find it easier to use a platform that integrates with those marketplaces.

Finally, consider the price of your digital product. If you are selling a low-cost digital product, such as an eBook, Squarespace’s transaction fees may not be a significant concern. However, if you are selling a more expensive digital product, such as an online course, the transaction fees charged by Squarespace may eat into your profits.

So, is Squarespace good for digital products? It depends on the type of product you are selling, how you plan to deliver it, and the price point of your product.
