Squarespace Commerce sells the product. It doesn't run the rest of your business.

Squarespace is a design-forward website builder, and its Commerce plans add a real storefront on top: products, cart, checkout, basic inventory counts. It's not built to also update your accounting software, sync stock with another system, or hand customer data to your CRM - those connections don't exist until someone builds them, which is what we do for businesses already selling through Squarespace.

What we build on top of Squarespace Commerce

Squarespace does have a real Commerce API and developer platform underneath the storefront, so this isn't a workaround; it's using the door Squarespace actually built. We use it to pull orders out the moment they're placed and push them into whatever your business runs on.

The most common version: an order on Squarespace becomes an invoice in QuickBooks or Xero automatically, with tax and shipping mapped correctly, instead of someone re-entering it by hand once a week.

If you keep product counts in a separate system, a POS, a spreadsheet, another sales channel, we sync stock both directions so Squarespace never shows something as available that's already sold out somewhere else.

Squarespace has its own built-in email tools and a Klaviyo extension for marketing, which cover outbound campaigns well. What they don't cover is feeding purchase history and customer records into a full CRM, which is a separate, custom piece if your sales process needs it.

What this usually looks like

Orders that book themselves

A Squarespace order turns into a properly-tagged invoice in your accounting system the moment it's placed, no manual re-entry and no month-end scramble to catch up on what sold.

Inventory that matches reality

If Squarespace isn't your only sales channel, stock counts stay synced across all of them, so a sale on one channel actually reduces what's available everywhere else.

What's still manual after a Squarespace sale closes?

Tell us what you, or someone on your team, has to do by hand once an order comes in. That's usually where the automation pays for itself fastest.

Selling through Squarespace and stitching the rest together by hand?

Squarespace will keep handling the storefront just fine. The gap is almost always what happens after someone clicks buy, where the order goes, what updates, who finds out. Tell us what that looks like for you and we'll show you where it can run on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you actually sell products on Squarespace?+
Yes, through its Commerce plans. It handles products, checkout, basic shipping rules, and simple inventory tracking well, and plenty of small retailers run a real store on it. Where it runs out of road is complex pricing logic, multi-warehouse inventory, or anything that needs to talk to a system Squarespace itself doesn't integrate with out of the box.
How much does Squarespace e-commerce cost?+
Squarespace prices its Commerce tiers separately from its plain website plans, with the higher tier mainly buying you lower transaction fees and more advanced merchandising tools. The numbers change periodically, so check squarespace.com/pricing for the current figures rather than relying on a page like this one for an exact dollar amount.
Squarespace vs Shopify for e-commerce, which should I use?+
Shopify is purpose-built for selling and has a much larger app and integration ecosystem; Squarespace leans toward design and treats commerce as one feature of a broader site. Which one fits depends on how design-driven versus sales-operations-driven your business is. We're platform-agnostic either way; our work starts once you've picked one and need it connected to everything else.
Does Squarespace have an API I can build on?+
Yes. Squarespace publishes a Commerce API and a broader developer platform that lets you read and write orders, inventory, and products programmatically. That's exactly what we use to build the automation described above, rather than scraping data or relying on manual exports.
What do I need to set up to start selling on Squarespace?+
A Commerce plan, a connected payment processor (Squarespace Payments or Stripe, depending on your region), and your product catalog entered with pricing and shipping rules. That part is Squarespace's own setup flow. What happens to each order after it's placed is the part that usually still needs a person, until it's automated.
