Premium features

Learn about the advanced content tools and integrations on our Business or Commerce plans.

Last updated January 22, 2025

Note

This guide is for customers on the Personal, Business, Commerce Basic, or Commerce Advanced plans. We’re rolling out new plans (Basic, Core, Plus, and Advanced) in waves. There isn't currently a way to switch to these new plans. What appears on the pricing page and plan selection screen are the plans you currently have access to. To learn more about the features of the new plans visit Choosing the right Squarespace plan.

Premium features, which include the Commerce platform, are available on the Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. With these features, you can create a website or online store with content and integrations that help your business grow. 

Premium features aren't available on the Personal plan. If you're on this plan, you can upgrade at any time to use them.

List of premium features

Website and online store features

The following features are available on the Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. They’re designed to meet the needs of small businesses or organizations, from restaurants, to nonprofits, to stores:

Note

Certain features, like abandoned checkout recovery, purchase funnel analytics, Squarespace point of sale, and some third-party commerce integrations, are only available in Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans.

Premium access during your trial

During your 14-day Squarespace trial, you’ll have access to most premium features so you can play with them and decide if they’ll work for your site's needs.

Trial sites can’t accept payments, so Commerce platform features and the donation block won't be fully functional. However, you can use your trial to set up your store, add products, and preview what it’s like to run an ecommerce business on Squarespace.

Tips for choosing the right plan

When you’re done with your trial, and if you have any of these features on your site, we recommend choosing the Business plan or higher. If you subscribe to the Personal plan, your site won't include Premium features. You can upgrade your plan at any time to use them again.

Downgrading

When you downgrade to a lower-priced plan, you’ll have access to premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. When your subscription renews on the downgraded plan, you’ll lose access to certain premium features. We don’t issue refunds when you downgrade plans.

When you choose a new plan, a message appears reminding you that you’ll lose these features. You can change your plan at any time to regain access to specific features. To learn more about changing plans, visit Changing your website billing plan.

Downgrade to a Personal plan

  • Premium blocks disappear from your live site. They’ll still appear when you're logged in.
  • Commerce features are disabled. You can edit your store page and visitors can view your products, but they can’t check out or make donations. 
  • Customer accounts are disabled. Customer information is stored and accessible if you upgrade again.
  • Code injection is disabled. The code stays in the Code injection panel for your reference, but it won't affect your site and it’s not possible to edit it.
  • If developer mode was activated before you downgraded, it'll stay on, but it won't be possible to edit the code.
  • Plus everything listed below:

Downgrade to a Business plan

  • Point of sale is disabled, and you won't be able to sell in person.
  • Commerce analytics like the purchase funnel and Sales by Product panels will stop tracking information and won't be visible to you.
  • Plus everything listed below:

Downgrade to a Commerce Basic plan

  • Abandoned checkout recovery won't track or send emails about abandoned carts.
  • If you sell subscription products, active subscriptions are canceled 10 days after their next scheduled renewal date. You and your subscribers receive emails when this happens.
  • Any commerce APIs set up while on the Commerce Advanced plan are disabled after downgrading.

Upgrading

You can upgrade your plan at any time to access premium features not available on your current plan.

Code block premium features

On every plan, the code block supports:

  • HTML
  • Plain text
  • Markdown
  • CSS code, when surrounded by <style></style> tags.

Adding JavaScript or iframes to a code block is a premium feature available in the current Website Business plan and higher.

  • Available in:
    • All trials
    • All Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans
    • Legacy Personal plan (no longer available for new subscriptions)
  • Not available in:
    • Current Personal plan

If you added Javascript or iframes code while on a trial or plan that supports premium features, then upgrade or switch to the current Personal plan, the code will remain in the block, but it won't be functional. When logged in, you'll see a note that the code isn't supported. This note isn't visible to your visitors. To use JavaScript or iframe code, upgrade your plan.

Note

We periodically change our plan offerings to best group features for our customers. If you’ve used Squarespace before and have an active website on a Personal plan, some of these features may be available on your site, depending on when you signed up.
