Perhaps the most notable change is that you can now sell on all four of these plans:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic ($16)<\/strong> &ndash; For online portfolios and side hustles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Core ($23)&nbsp;<\/strong>&ndash; For small businesses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plus ($39)<\/strong> &ndash; For growing online stores<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advanced ($99)<\/strong> &ndash; For established businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<h3>Value for Money<\/h3>\n<p>Squarespace isn&rsquo;t the most affordable ecommerce website builder on the market. Its two most expensive plans have seen a sharp increase in pricing, and the jump between plans adds an extra roadblock for businesses looking to scale.<\/p>\n<p>What I will say is that Squarespace&rsquo;s sales features are top notch, and we found them to be well worth the price. Plus, Squarespace&rsquo;s new plan structure means that<strong> you can now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/building-online-stores\/how-to-sell-online\/\">sell online<\/a> on its cheapest, $16 per month plan,<\/strong> which charges transaction fees of 2.9% + 30&cent;. To give context, Shopify&rsquo;s comparable plan, with the same transaction fees, costs $29 per month.<\/p>\n<p>With Squarespace, you&rsquo;ll also get a <strong>14-day free trial <\/strong>before committing to a recurring payment.<\/p>\n<p>Once you decide on your plan, you&rsquo;ll receive a <strong>free domain for a year <\/strong>and can save up to 30% by paying annually, or you can <strong>save 10% on any plan when you use our code &ldquo;WBE10&rdquo;<\/strong><strong> at checkout.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Sales Features <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]We&rsquo;ve always been impressed by Squarespace&rsquo;s comprehensive set of sales features, which is one of the reasons why<strong> it scored third place, just underneath Shopify and Wix, in our testing. <\/strong>Since its annual product showcase, Squarespace Refresh, in September 2024, this arsenal has only gotten stronger.\n<p>These are the standout features you&rsquo;ll be able to use on all Squarespace plans:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sell unlimited products <\/strong>&ndash; there&rsquo;s no limit to the number of items in your inventory<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sell a range of products<\/strong> &ndash; you can sell services, gift cards, and digital downloads, in addition to physical products<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abandoned cart recovery &ndash; <\/strong>customers who&rsquo;ve left unpurchased items in their cart will receive emails reminding them to check out<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible shipping options<\/strong> &ndash; Squarespace supports a variety of shipping options at checkout, such as pickup and local delivery.

This lack of transparency creates an unfamiliar shopping experience, which is a leading cause of cart abandonment. So, if you&rsquo;re trying to expand into global markets, a builder like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/ecommerce-website-builders\/shopify-review\/\">Shopify<\/a> would be a better choice.<\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Building Your Squarespace Ecommerce Store <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]Other Squarespace ecommerce reviews might outline the basic facts, but my first-hand testing means I can answer your most important concerns. To get these answers, I created an online store using Squarespace. Here&rsquo;s how it went:\n<h3>The Initial Setup<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/website-builders\/squarespace-blueprint-ai\/\">Squarespace&rsquo;s Blueprint AI<\/a> is one of the most efficient AI builders we&rsquo;ve tested, on par with Wix and Hostinger. It asked relevant questions about my brand personality, sector, and website pages &ndash; all important areas that should be considered before you create a website. While I had full freedom of choice, at every stage the AI Builder offered suggestions of what would work best for my website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;125276&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]<strong>It took me around five minutes to complete Squarespace&rsquo;s Blueprint AI setup,<\/strong> and I was left with a starting point that felt relevant to my business and provided all the necessary pages. Most importantly, its reflection of my brand&rsquo;s personality and the store functions it added made the process of finetuning my ecommerce store feel like an exciting and achievable, rather than daunting, process.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding Products<\/h3>\n<p>Squarespace was a firm favorite in our user tests, and after testing it myself, I can see exactly why. Its dashboard houses a store setup guide, which explains how to build an inventory and directed me to a simple, beginner-friendly product page. If you&rsquo;re a beginner who&rsquo;s considering using Squarespace for ecommerce, you&rsquo;ll appreciate the detailed guidance Squarespace provides whenever you click on the blue circular pop-up. From product pages to SEO help, additional tips appeared as I progressed &ndash; brilliant for improving your product&rsquo;s visibility in searches.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;125280&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]When it came time to write my product descriptions, I had a chance to test Squarespace&rsquo;s AI copywriting capabilities. The writing tool gave me a vague choice between writing a pitch, a blurb, or a paragraph, but I found it difficult to understand which was suitable. In comparison, other ecommerce builders have AI copywriting tools, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/news\/shopify-magic\/\">Shopify Magic<\/a>, that use more specific ecommerce phrasing and so make it easier to choose the right option.&rdquo; However, once the text had been generated by Squarespace&rsquo;s AI, it was easy to modify its length and simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>One aspect of Squarespace&rsquo;s AI content generator that I particularly liked was its &ldquo;Brand Identity&rdquo; feature, which stores your brand description and tone of voice and uses this to shape all the AI-generated content across your site, making it feel tailored to your store and providing a level of consistency throughout your pages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;125284&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Squarespace&rsquo;s App Market <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]When choosing a website builder, you should always explore its app market, which can provide additional functions for your store as it develops. This Squarespace ecommerce review is no exception and, at the time of writing, the app market &ndash; Squarespace Extensions &ndash; holds <strong>47&nbsp;plugins,<\/strong> which is very small compared to the 8,000 offered on Shopify&rsquo;s app market.\n<p>That said, Squarespace Extensions is slowly growing, and its apps are well thought out and allow you to expand your ecommerce ventures in many directions. Having looked through each app, here are the most useful ways I&rsquo;ve found that they can benefit ecommerce stores:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inventory management <\/strong>&ndash; these extensions keep track of incoming and outgoing orders and give accurate, real-time inventory tracking<\/li>\n<li><strong>Print on demand<\/strong> &ndash; if you&rsquo;re selling artwork and merchandise, you can use POD extensions to print your designs onto various products<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dropshipping <\/strong>&ndash; these apps help you find products to sell on your store from third-party partners<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional sales avenues <\/strong>&ndash; these integrations allow you to sync your inventory to TikTok Shop, sell to other businesses as a wholesaler, and control your product feeds on platforms such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Instagram<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shipping support<\/strong> &ndash; these apps connect you with carriers and smooth out the process of buying shipping labels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n Squarespace&rsquo;s Ecommerce Templates <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]Squarespace has a reputation as the reigning champion of sleek and stylish designs, so when I tested them myself, my expectations were high. True to form, every option maintains that trademark visual appeal.\n<p><strong>45 of Squarespace&rsquo;s 180 templates are designed with ecommerce in mind.<\/strong> Once you&rsquo;ve selected &ldquo;Online Stores&rdquo; as your website type in the template gallery, you can easily whittle down your template choice by selecting from one of the 19 categories, which cover everything from fitness to podcasting to weddings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;125288&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;][vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]When editing, I was pleased to see that each Squarespace online store template has a high level of customization, which means you can use one of its expert designs as a baseline and edit it to match your brand colors and style. Once you&rsquo;re signed in to your Squarespace dashboard, you can change the fonts, colors, buttons, and even the margins of your website. We found <strong>Squarespace&rsquo;s templates to outshine those of its competitors,<\/strong> providing the highest visual appeal and the best overall experience.<\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s even better is that <strong>Squarespace&rsquo;s templates are interchangeable<\/strong> &ndash; unlike other builders, like Wix &ndash; so if you ever want to rebrand or simply feel the urge to switch up your store design with the seasons, you can download a new template and transfer your content over.[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n <h4 class=\"title-block\">\n \n &#9728;&#65039;Seasonal Email Marketing Templates <\/h4>\n \n Squarespace&rsquo;s email marketing templates are just as outstanding as its website designs, and are updated seasonally.

This brought to light seven key areas to test our ecommerce builders against, each weighted based on level of importance:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sales features &mdash; 30%<\/li>\n<li>Website functionality &mdash; 15%<\/li>\n<li>Design features &mdash; 15%<\/li>\n<li>Help and support &mdash; 15%<\/li>\n<li>Pricing&nbsp;&mdash; 10%<\/li>\n<li>User experience &mdash; 10%<\/li>\n<li>Reputation &mdash; 5%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sales features are undoubtably the most important consideration for ecommerce websites, so this is our most heavily weighted area.[\/vc_column_text]<meta data-fa-load=\"fas fa-plus\">\n<meta data-fa-load=\"fas fa-minus\">\n<\/p><div class=\"wbe-accordion\" id=\"\" data-eventcategory=\"content-element\" data-eventaction=\"accordion\">\n \n<div class=\"accordion-section\" id=\"acc--sect-0\">\n\n \n\n <button class=\"accordion-title accordion-collapse-control\">\n <h4>\n Click to see some of the areas we look into &#11015;&#65039; <\/h4>\n <\/button>\n\n\n \n \n <div class=\"accordion-content\" id=\"acc--cont-0\">\n \n<ul>\n<li><strong>Multi-channel integration<\/strong> &ndash; Which additional sales channels can be linked to your site?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment processing fees<\/strong> &ndash; Does the builder charge payment processing fees, or are they included in your subscription?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inventory<\/strong> &ndash; How many items can the builder hold in its inventory?

On top of this, its ecommerce plans are reasonably priced and you won&rsquo;t have to worry about losing profits through transaction fees.\n<p>This said, if you sell globally or plan to expand soon, Squarespace&rsquo;s lack of localization features and international currencies will act as obstacles to your growth. In our latest round of ecommerce builder testing, the lack of these features is what caused it to fall below Shopify in our resulting ranking. If international business growth is a priority, Shopify is a great alternative.[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Squarespace e-Commerce can help you grow your sales &amp; online store.
